Victoria Cross: Capt Charles Henry Lumley, 97th Regiment, on 8 September 1855, at the assault on the Redan, he was among the first inside the work, where he was immediately attacked by three Russian gunners who were reloading a field piece. He shot two of them with his revolver when he was knocked down by a stone which stunned him for a moment, but on recovery, he drew his sword and was in the act of cheering his men on, when he was severely wounded in the mouth.
