If anyone has any info on the whereabouts of this medal, or any information on its recipient (however small) I would be very glad to hear from them.

Welcome to the forum.
Joseph Salter was born at Malmesbury, Wiltshire, and enlisted for the 60th Foot at Reading on 28 September 1877, aged 18. He served overseas with the 3rd K.R.R.C. in Natal, February 1879 to December 1881; in Egypt, September 1882 to August 1884; in Cyprus, September 1884 to June 1886; and at Gibraltar, June 1886 to October 1889. He then transferred to the 7th K.R.R.C. as Sergeant from October 1889 to 3 August 1895, when he was discharged medically unfit.
