Victoria Cross: Nov 5, 1854 at the Battle of Inkerman, Lord Henry Hugh Manvers Percy, Grenadier Guards, found himself, with many men of various regiments who had charged too far, nearly surrounded by the Russians, and without ammunition. By his knowledge of the ground, although wounded, he extricated these men, and, passing under a heavy fire from the Russians then in the Sandbag Battery, brought them safe to where ammunition was to be obtained. He thereby saved about fifty men and enabled them to renew the combat.

Victoria Cross: Nov 5, 1854 at the Battle of Inkerman, James Gorman, Naval Brigade, when the Right Lancaster Battery was attacked and many of the soldiers were wounded, he, with two other seamen (Thomas Reeves and Mark Scholefield) and two others who were killed during the action, mounted the defence work banquette and, under withering attack from the enemy, kept up a rapid, repulsing fire. Their muskets were re-loaded for them by the wounded soldiers under the parapet and eventually the enemy fell back and gave no more trouble.
