Victoria Cross: June 18, 1855, after the doomed assault on the Redan, deed by Lieutenant Henry James Raby, Boatswain's Mate Curtis and Captain of the Forecastle John Taylor, all of the Naval Brigade ladder parties. A soldier of the 57th Regt, who had been wounded in both legs, was observed sitting up and calling for help. At once the three left the shelter of the trench and ran forward a distance of 70 yards, across open ground, through heavy gunfire and succeeded in carrying the wounded man to safety.
