Samuel Morley
Private Samuel Morley, Military Train. London Gazette 07/08/1860.
On 15th April 1858, Kooer Singh's Army were pursued by a squadron of the Military Train and some troops of the Horse Artillery at Azimgurh, India.
Lieutenant Hamilton, of the 3rd Sikh Cavalry, became unhorsed and was surrounded by the enemy, who cut and hacked at him as he lay on the ground.
Private Morley, seeing the Officers predicament, and despite the fact that his own horse had been shot from under him, immediately, with the aid of Farrier Murphy, cut down one of the Sepoys, and continued fighting over the Lieutenants body until assistance arrived.
This action saved Lieutenant Hamilton from being killed on the spot.
