Canada, Gilbraltar, and Crimea. ODNB ‘... At the Alma his horse was struck by a cannon-shot. At Inkerman his horse was killed, and he narrowly escaped being made prisoner. He had brought up three guns, and had placed them on the fore-ridge with a boldness and skill which seem to have attracted Todleben's notice. On the death of General Strangways, at Inkerman, the command of the artillery passed to Dacres; Hamley was his aide-de-camp until April 1856. He was mentioned in dispatches, was made brevet major on 12 December 1854 and brevet lieutenant-colonel on 2 November 1855, received a Légion d'honneur (fifth class) and a Mejidiye (fifth class), and was belatedly made a CB on 13 March 1867. He sent Blackwood's a series of letters from the Crimea, republished as [the above] vividly portraying the siege. In this, and in his 1856 Blackwood's article ‘Lessons from the war’, he defended the army against its ‘ill-informed and ill-judging’ civilian critics, alleging that its shortcomings resulted from politicians starving it of money and auxiliary services, and he rejected the accusations of incompetent command in the Crimea...’

With pencil underlining and ruling with occasional notes in pencil by Horrocks and noting particularly his earlier mentions in the text. ‘Horrocks is seedy to-day. He has got a temperature of 101 degs. He took some quinine ... Exhibition dancing was given by Captain Horrocks who is A1 at stage and ordinary dancing ... Horrocks has completely got over his jaundice and is looking very fit ...’ Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Gwynne Horrocks, (1895–1985) British Army officer. In 1919 Horrocks was posted to Russia as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. His first task, along with a party of 13 British officers and 30 other ranks, was to guard a train delivering 27 carriages of shells to the White Army in Omsk, the journey took more than a month, and as the only party member fluent in Russian, Horrocks had to deal with many of the difficulties encountered. His next assignment was in Yekaterinburg in the Urals, where he was appointed second in command of a training school for non-commissioned officers attached to the Anglo-Russian Brigade. Although British forces were ordered home shortly afterwards, Horrocks and another officer, George Hayes, remained to advise the First Siberian Army. He was captured by the Red Army on 7 January 1920 and spent 10 months as a prisoner, narrowly surviving severe typhus. The British government negotiated a prisoner release, and Horrocks left Russia on 29 October, returning home on the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Delhi.
