the engraving is either relevant to the story or in the victorian style of the time.heres a link to how he won the vc,if you follow the murals from the legshields to the panels it follows the story, the mural on the mudguard is of the tattered colours of his regiment that is hanging in a cathedral in southern ireland and his portrait and medals on the glovebox
it was very interesting doing the research, my mate the owner found out loads of stuff and what an amazing character James Murray was.
