Both were part of the Anglo-Mahratta campaigns. The central section of the tusk is scrimmed with the symbol of King George III, an officer on horseback brandishing a sabre and the name “SIR ARTHUR WELLESLEY” (1769-1852), the first Duke of Wellington, and a British officer in command of British troops during the Anglo-Mahratta campaigns. The next panel depicts two soldiers facing each other, separated by the name “ALEPPI” (also India). The last panel is scrimmed with the names “CORUNNA” and “ROLICA” centering a church. The Battle of Rolica in Portugal was fought on August 11, 1808; the Battle of Corunna in northwest Spain was fought on January 16, 1809. Both battles were part of the Napoleonic Wars and both were under the command of Lieutenant General Arthur Wellesley. The name “SGT. A.
