3rd of Foot East Kent Regiment (The Buffs)

Crimean War 1854-1856

Roll of Honour & Casualty Roll

Being aware of our intentions to try and compile and post, various Kent military Rolls of Honour on this website, has resulted in a surprisingly large number of people (primarily Family Historians), making similar enquires along the lines of Are you going back pre the Great War? Although the answer is yes, as always time is precluding all the work in progress from being posted immediately. The following very basic 3rd of Foot, Crimean War casualty transcriptions were extracted primarily from the London Gazette, and have been divided in two distinct categories, they being those who lost their lives, and those who are recorded as having been wounded to varying degrees. It should be noted that some of the phraseology below is of 1885 vintage as opposed to 2007, and whilst all reasonable care has been taken during the researches for the following brief transcriptions, it is generally recognised and accepted that mistakes in some of the original documents of the Crimean War era are known to be present, as such it might be that some of the errors have unintentionally been repeated below. It can be seen that a not insignificant number of the following officers and other ranks, have Irish surnames which is doubtless a reflection of the large number of Irishmen who served in the 3rd of Foot. Including amongst the Irish soldiers is both the first officer, and the first other rank recipients of the Victoria Cross awarded to the regiment, in addition to which is another officer serving with the regiment, who was also awarded the Victoria Cross prior to joining the 3rd of Foot, he too was a native of Ireland. The 3rd of Foot embarked on the Emu at Malta on 23 March 1855, at which time being relieved by the 91st Highlanders. Remaining in the Grand Harbour, Valetta until 14 April 1855, when the 3rd of Foot went onboard the Timandra which was towed through the Black Sea to Balaclava by the Chatham built paddle sloop H.M.S. Ardent. When the regiment disembarked at Balaclava on 2 May 1855 it was comprised of 24 officers and 673 other ranks. After disembarking from the Timandra the regiment marched to camp at Kamara near Balaclava. On 8 May 1855 the 3rd of Foot left Kamara and moved to another camp immediately to the rear of the trenches, at which time being posted temporarily to a new brigade called the Separate Brigade, as was the 31st Regiment and the 72nd Highlanders, with Lieutenant-Colonel C.T. Van Straubenzee being placed in command of the brigade.

Lieutenant-Colonel J. Paterson became the Commanding Officer of the 3rd of Foot. A year and a week after arriving at Balaclava, it was from there that the regiment, numbering 556 all ranks marched on 10 May 1856 to leave the Crimea for the British protectorate of Corfu. Those recorded below were numbered amongst the 875 members of the regiment awarded the Crimean War Medal with the Sebastopol bar. It was for many years a source of pride within the regiment, that prior to the signing of the peace agreement, the colours of the 3rd of Foot, The East Kent Regiment (The Buffs), were the only ones to actually enter the town of Sebastopol, being carried by Ensigns E.J. Cox and W. Worthington. Although much faded with the passage of time, the colours still hang proudly in the Warriors Chapel, at Canterbury Cathedral. Emblazoned on the colours is the battle honour Sebastopol, the authority to bear same was granted on 22 September 1855.

WALKER, MARK. Captain. V.C. Born Gore Port, Finca, County Westmeath, Ireland 24 November 1827. Died Arlington, Devonshire 18 July 1902. Buried Cheriton Road Cemetery, Folkestone, Kent. As a Lieutenant, Mark Walker, formerly of the 30th Foot which later became the East Lancashire Regiment, was awarded the Victoria Cross for the act of valour which he had displayed at Inkerman on 5 November 1854. Lieutenant Walker jumped over a wall in the face of two battalions of Russian Infantry which were marching towards it. This act was to encourage the men, by example, to advance against such odds-which they did and succeeded in driving back both battalions. This gallant officer was later Mentioned in Despatches for his part played during the fighting which took place on 21 April 1855. Resulting from the dangerous wounds which he received during the minor actions fought at Sebastopol on 9 June 1855, his right arm was later amputated. Eventually Mark Walker rose to the rank of General and was Knighted as a Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath.
