The Naval General Service Medal roll shows entitlement to two clasps for 'Copenhagen 1801' and 'Centaur 26 Augt. 1808', the recipient having been a 1st Class Volunteer aboard H.M.S. Monarch in the former action and a Midshipman aboard H.M.S. Centaur in the latter.
Commander Richard Manston Teed entered the Royal Navy as a 1st Class Volunteer aboard H.M.S. Defiance in March 1801, and subsequently served in her, and the Polyphemus and Monarch, in the Baltic, including the action off Copenhagen. Advanced to Midshipman, he next served in the Channel Squadron between 1803-08 but returned to the Baltic in the Centaur in time to participate in her action with the Russian Sevolod off Hango Point, Finland on 26.8.1808. Following this action, and further service in the Baltic, he was nominated Acting Lieutenant of the Implacable in July 1809, the first of a succession of seagoing appointments that would span a period of fifteen years, in which he served off the coast of Portugal, in the Channel and off the coast of Africa. Teed was placed on the Retired List as a Commander in November 1848.
