Not recorded by Lummis and Wynn. They do, however, record a 1184 Henry Griffiths, born at St. Claire (possibly St. Clears?) a pattern-maker prior to his enlistment on the 31st of July 1851, who had embarked for the Crimea aboard the H.T. "Echunga" on the 15th of May 1854 and had died at Yenibazar, Turkey (the muster roll states Varna) on the 25th of September 1854.
They credit him with being awarded the Crimean medal only and further state that a Crimean medal to him with four clasps appeared in a Glendining's auction on the 6th of February 1902. A check of the muster rolls for the period shows a George Henry Griffiths as serving.
