Note 376 — 1840.
Reading edition
His career in the corps was somewhat eventful. A noble soldier, with a spirit that nothing could depress, he was often selected for unusual enterprises. He received a medal for the Kaffir war of 1846-7. Another he received, and a second-class prize of five pounds, for his services at the Great Exhibition. Was also honoured with the order of the Medjidie for his heroic conduct at the battle of Guirgevo, and wore a medal for the Crimea. After serving a period in the trenches before Sebastopol, his life was sacrificed to his excesses. One morning, to the deep regret of his officers and his comrades, he was found dead in his tent.
