Victoria Cross: Brevet Major Gerald Littlehales Goodlake, Coldstream Guards. On 28 October 1854 at Inkerman, he was in command of a party of sharpshooters which held Windmill Ravine against a much larger force of the enemy, killing 38 (including an officer) and taking three prisoners. He also showed conspicuous gallantry on a later occasion when his sharpshooters surprised a picquet and seized the knapsacks and rifles of the enemy.
