1 Canterbury Cathedral 50th (Queen s Own) Regiment Campaign on the Sudlej Memorial Plaque The impressive memorial commemorating the 199 officers and other ranks of the 50th regiment, who lost their lives whilst serving with the regiment during the Campaign on the Sutlej, , is located on the north wall of the nave in Canterbury Cathedral. Originally the design of the above female figure, emblematic of Fame was undraped, but the relevant authorities at Canterbury Cathedral insisted that she was draped as shown above. The memorial was erected soon after the curtailment of the Campaign on the Sutlej, and was paid for by subscriptions raised by the regiment. The following Roll of Honour has been complied by accessing a number of relevant data sources, including the Army of the Sutlej Casualty Roll, and the Sutlej Medal Rolls that were at the India Office Library and Records, but which are now held at The British Library. In addition to the above sources of information, other data and publications have also been checked, and whilst doing so, the transcriber of the following brief commemorations was struck by how consistent all official documentation and other publications were regarding dates and causes of death. Normally, due to the variances that we 1
2 find with the casualties from both world wars appertaing to cause of death, when checking different data sources, we usually enter Died as opposed to died of wounds or killed in action etcetera, but on this occasion causes of death have been added to the following officers and other ranks. In addition to what can arguably be best described as skirmishes, during the campaign a number of larger engagements were fought in which the 50th (Queen s Own) Regiment took part, and which resulted in relevant bars (clasps) on the campaign medal being awarded to the participants. The award of the medal was the first that was authorised, which was awarded with bars on any of the India medals. Although the medal awarded for India was obviously for much earlier campaigns, it was not authorized until The relevant bars awarded to the following casualties (where applicable), have been added at their brief commemorations, and they were awarded for the battles of MOODKEE 1845, FEROZESHUHUR 1845, ALIWAL 1846, and SOBRAON The Campaign on the Sutlej (First Sikh War) was a difficult one for the British, as the Sikh army was well trained and well armed. As a result British Casualties were heavy, although the actual campaign was short and concentrated, lasting only three months. However, the Sikhs were to return for a further conflict with the British two years later during (The Second Sikh War). Serving in the Division of Sir Harry Smith, the 50th Regiment distinguished itself by fighting in all four of the battles of this war, at Moodkee, Ferozeshuhur, Aliwal and Sobraon, during the course of which it was recorded as performing great feats of bravery and losing many men. The regiment was subsequently awarded named Battle Honours in respect of the four main battles which were fought. The regiment had started out as the 52nd Regiment, under an order dated 18 December 1755, but just two years later it was re-numbered as the 50th. The regiment recruited in the Norwich area of Norfolk, and served in the Seven Years War. It was then sent to Jamaica, and in 1776 sailed to America, but the regiment was broken up and used as draft for other regiments. In 1782 the numbered infantry regiments were given territorial titles, and the 50th became the West Kent Regiment. In many cases the origin of the title is a mystery but in the case of the 50th, the Colonel, at that time, was an ex Guards officer; General Sir Thomas Spencer Wilson of Carlton Court near Woolwich, Kent. The Colonelcy of the West Kent Militia had been held by several members of the Wilson family in succession, and it was this unit that formed the 3rd battalion in 1881, when the regiment became the Queen s Own Royal West Kents. With the passing of the years since the memorial was first erected in 1851, understandably with such a lot more to see, visitors to Canterbury Cathedral probably pay only scant attention to the plaque, but it is a memorial of particular importance to the people of Kent. Approximately sixty five percent of the regiment were casualties in, or resultant of the First Sikh War, which included the 48 men, 16 women, and 17 children, who died on 20 May 1846 when the barracks which were being used by the 50th Regiment collapsed. 2
3 Sudlej Roll of Honour Officers, Warrant Officers, and Non Commissioned Officers. RYAN, THOMAS. Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel. C.B., K.H. Died of wounds 9 April Aged 56. Buried Kasauli Cemetery, Himachal Pradesh, India. Thomas joined the New Brunswick Fencible Infantry in He served in North America, and in Peninsula Wars of , during which time he was wounded and captured in Spain close to the Portuguese border, during the Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro 3-6 May Thomas joined the 50th Regiment of Foot on 13 August 1830, and later served with the regiment in Australia for six years from 1834 to On the completion of his service in Australia, Thomas was posted to India, and arrived there in For his service in India prior to the Sutlej Campaign he was awarded the Maharajpore Star. The stone on his grave at Kasauli cemetery was inscribed "Sacred to the memory of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Ryan, C.B. and K.H., of Her Majesty's 50th Regiment who died at Kussowlie on the 9th April 1846, of a wound received at the Battle of Sobraon. This tablet is placed over the remains of their lamented comrade by his brother officers as a token of their respect and esteem." Thomas had been made a Knight of Hanover in 1834, and was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1846, but lost his life prior to the announcement of the award of his C.B. At the time of his death, Thomas had not actually been in command of the 50th Regiment of Foot, command of the regiment having by then been passed to Lieutenant-Colonel Peter J. Petit, after Thomas had been placed in command of the 2nd Brigade, to which the 50th Regiment belonged. Whilst actually leading the 2nd Brigade in action, Thomas had been wounded on 10 February 1846 during the Battle of Sorabon. The relevant Orderly Room records entry of the 50th Regiment says about Thomas, The deepest respect for his name must continue long after the present generation has passed away. His greatest ambition was to live, fight, conquer, and die at the head of his regiment. BROCKMAN, JAMES NEWHOUSE. Lieutenant. Died 17 December Aged 30. Born Cheriton, Folkestone, Kent 24 July Son of the Reverend Julius Drake Brockman M.A. and Mrs. Harriett Brockman (née Locke). Husband of Hannah Christiana Brockman (née Fenwick). Commemorated on his fathers headstone at St. Martin s Churchyard, Cheriton, Kent. His father died on 7 September 1849, aged 81. James, who was the youngest of fourteen children was baptised by his father, at the parish church of St. Martin, Cheriton, Folkestone, Kent on 25 October Originally James was posted as missing; it is believed that he was killed in action near Fort Wadni during the Battle of Moodkee. Several members of the Drake- Brockman family died in the two world wars, and are commemorated in Kent. 3
4 CAREY, OCTAVIUS. B.A. Lieutenant. 29th Foot, attached to the 50th Foot. Killed in action at Moodkee on 18 December Aged 25. Born Galway, Ireland 11 November Eldest son of Major-General Sir Octavius Carey, K.C.B., K.C.H., and Harriot Hirzel Carey (née Le Marchant) of Rozel, Guernsey, Channel Islands. Commemorated on a memorial at St. Peter's Port Church, Guernsey, Channel Islands, which is inscribed Sacred to the memory of Lieut. Octavius Carey of Her Majesty's 26th Regt of Foot, eldest son of Major General Sir Octavius Carey of this island. He was killed on the 18th December 1845 in the glorious action of Moodkee on the River Sutlej In the 26th year of his age. His mortal remains were interred by his brother officers in the memorable field where he fell." Octavius was the second of his parents seventeen children, and was initially educated at Elizabeth College, The Grange, St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands, during 1833 and 1834, the College had only reopened in 1829, and Octavius had the College No In 1834 Octavius was sent to England and was a pupil at Rugby School, from where he went up to Oriel College, Oxford where he gained his B.A. in On the completion of his studies, he was gazetted as an Ensign in 29th Foot, and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in Having been promoted, Octavius sent in his papers the same year, but on the outbreak of the Sikh War applied to withdraw them. He proceeded to the front, but as his own regiment had not arrived in India he was attached to the 50th Regiment, and went into action with the grenadiers of that regiment. At the Battle of Moodkee he was wounded, and while he was lying helpless on the ground he was hacked to pieces by a group of Sikhs. Regretably, Octavius is numbered amongst the casualties who are not commemorated on the memorial in Canterbury Cathedral, probably due to the fact that he was an attached officer serving with the 50th Foot, as opposed to having been a full time member. BISHOP, JOHN CUMING. Lieutenant. Died of wounds 6 February Aged 20. Following the death of a Captain James of the 50th Foot, Lieutenant James John Enoch replaced him, and was promoted to the rank of Captain (without purchase) effective from 17 January Resulting from James Enoch s promotion, the then Ensign John Cuming, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant (without purchase) effective from the same date. GRIMES, CHARLES ROBERT. Lieutenant. Killed in action at Sobraon 10 February Aged 25. Charles had been appointed an Ensign in the 50th Regiment (by purchase) on 16 March 1838, which is the first reference to a Grimes in the 50th Regiment, in the Army Lists He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 20 December Charles served with the regiment in Australia from 23 March Brother of Joseph Grimes the next casualty briefly commemorated below. 4
5 GRIMES, JOSEPH JOHN. Lieutenant. Killed in action at Aliwal on 28 January Aged 24. Awarded the Moodkee, Ferozeshuhur, and Aliwal bars. Joseph was gazetted as a Lieutenant in the regiment on 19 June He fell at Badhowal during the Battle of Aliwal, which was thirteen days before his brother was killed in action at Sobraon. YOUNG, CHARLES EDWARD. Lieutenant. Died of wounds at Moodkee on 20 December Aged 20. Son of Major Young (late of the 38th Regiment), and of Mrs Young. Regrettably now lost, the Royal Garrison Church, Portsmouth, used to contain a memorial which bore the following inscription. "To the memory of George James Young, Lieut. 17th Regiment, Bombay N. Infantry, who died at Outacamond on 23rd June 1844, in the 21st year of his age. Also Charles Edward Young, Lieutenant 50th Regiment killed at the Battle of Mookoo on the Sutlej 18th of December 1845, in the 20th year of his age. This tablet is erected by Major and Mrs Young, late of the 38th Regiment, the sorrowing parents of the above young officers cut off in the morning of life in their country's service." Charles died of wounds that were inflicted during the Battle of Moodkee on 18 December GRAYDON, ALEXANDER. M.D. Assistant-Surgeon. Died of wounds at Moodkee on 19 December Aged 28. Details of the War Office List of 27 November 1835, which contained the announcement of the appointment of Doctor Alexander Graydon to be the Assistant-Surgeon of the 50th Regiment of Foot, was published in The Court Circular on Saturday 12 December Prior to going to India with the regiment in 1841, Doctor Graydon had previously served with the regiment in Australia, whilst detachments of the regiment were guarding convicts. During his time spent serving in Australia, it was noted that Grayson had rendered valuable assistance in January 1938, during an outbreak of Typhus onboard the ship Minerva. CANTWELL, JOHN. Sergeant-Major, 840. Killed in action at Sobraon on 10 February The 50th Regiment of Foot took two Sikh standards at Ferozeshuhur on December Sergeant-Major Cantwell, it is said, took a third at Sobraon on 10 February 1846, but at the cost of his life. The regimental history of 1895 records: A third was afterwards captured, and probably by Sergeant-Major Cantwell, at Sobraon. The relevant Orderly Room Records for the period show that: - Sergeant-Major Cantwell much distinguished himself but was killed at the moment of victory when the regiment was entering the trenches. Part of an extract of paper at the former War Office appertaining to John s heroism says, and just as he captured a standard from the enemy. Another source about the events surrounding the 10 February 1846 by the 50th Regiment of Foot, says that Sergeant Godwin, one of the few survivors of this glorious campaign, does not remember a standard being 5
6 taken. He adds, Sergeant-Major Cantwell was found killed and stripped at the river side. Commenting on the statement by Sergeant James Godwin who was wounded on 21 December 1845, the Commanding Officer of the regiment added the following. His is not incompatible, however, with the narrative of his capturing the standard, as he would have confided it to an escort: or with that of his being killed at the moment of victory, for he would have been one of the first men into the trenches, and would have followed up the retreating enemy. These three standards for many years decorated the regimental mess room; but in course of time very little of the colours remained, and the author of this work, when in command of the Regiment, had them mounted in an air-tight case with a glass front, the frame of which is made from their own flag-staffs and ornamented with the Crown and Sphinx, and the Kentish horse in silver, with an inscription at the base. This now hangs in All Saint s Church, Maidstone, where the old Crimean colours have also found an honourable resting place. A number of later commentators had made the valid point, that had the Victoria Cross been established at the time of the Sikh Wars, Sergeant-Major John Cantwell would have been a worthy recipient of the award for his valour at Sobraon in CHOVILL, SAMUEL. Colour Sergeant, Killed in action at Sobraon on 10 February Aged 29. Born Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Son of John and Elizabeth Chovill. Husband of Maria Chovill (née Nowlan). Samuel s son; Samuel Lawrence Chovill, was born at Loodiannah, Punjab, India on 15 February It would appear that by the time that regiment returned to England in 1848, Samuel s widow and young son had sailed to Australia, where it would seem likely that Samuel and Maria had first met. Whilst carrying out the research for these brief commemorations, it was noted by the transcriber that Samuel s direct descendents are Australians living in Australia. WHYTE, JOHN. Colour Sergeant, Died of wounds 28 February FERRIS, JOHN. Sergeant, Died 20 May John was one of the victims of the barracks collapse at Loodiannah, and was numbered amongst the men, women and children who were commemorated on the memorial there. Regretably, he is numbered amongst the regiments casualties who are not commemorated with their comrades on the memorial in Canterbury Cathedral. 6
7 FENTON, MATTHEW. Sergeant, 811. Killed in action 11 April Awarded the Sorabon bar. HENLEY, ROBERT. Sergeant, 352. Killed in action 11 April McMICKING, JAMES. Sergeant, 498. Died of wounds 4 May Awarded the Moodkee, Ferozeshuhur, and Sorabon bars. James had been wounded on 21 December 1845 during the Battle of Ferozeshuhur, and also on 10 February 1846 during the Battle of Sorabon. On some of the data checked, James s surname is shown as McMickling, and on the memorial plaque in Canterbury Cathedral, his surname is spelt McMacking. BECKET, WILLIAM. Corporal, Killed in action at Sobraon on 10 February BRADSHAW, GEORGE. Corporal, Killed in action at Sobraon on 10 February BROOKMAN, HENRY. Corporal. Although a number of various data sources have been checked, during the compiling of this roll of honour, the transcriber of these brief commemorations has been unable thus far, to find any matching details for this casualty other than Henry s entry on the Army of the Sutlej casualty roll. Purely speculation on the part of the transcriber, and should be viewed as such, but it might be of significance that there is no matching entry appertaining to Henry, on the regimental medal roll. It might be the case that although he had been present during the brief Sutlej campaign, Henry might not have actually taken part in any of the four battles, and that is why he has not been commemorated. As can be seen below, there was also another other rank death, of a soldier with the same surname as Henry, he was Private John Brookman who died on 20 May CANTWELL, THOMAS. Corporal, Died 20 May Thomas was wounded during the Battle of Moodkee on 18 December He was one of the victims of the barracks collapse at Loodiannah, and was numbered amongst the men, women and children who were commemorated on the memorial there.

Corporal, Died 28 March Regretably, Hugh is numbered amongst the regiments casualties who are not On some of the data sources checked, Hugh has been recorded with his surname spelt PATCHELL. It is unfortunate that irrespective of which surname spelling is shown on the records, none of them show the details of Hugh s death. Although Hugh had participated in all of the four major battles of the First Sikh War, no details of any wounding to him has been found by the transcriber. Hugh could of course have died of an illness, disease, or as the result of an accident. ROSS, WILLIAM. Corporal, 530.

11 BLACK, JOHN JAMES. Private, Wounded at Sobraon on 10 February John is probably the casualty who is commemorated on the memorial in Canterbury Cathedral as John Black.
