Notes | India Mutiny Medal 1857-58 Medal awarded to Ensign Robert Bole Morrow (1836-1919), 46th Regiment bar- Central India- January-June 1858 Robert B Morrow was commissioned as an Ensign in the 46th Regiment of Foot on 26th February 1856. Col. Robert B Morrow's obituary in the Colonist, 26 July 1919, gives an account of his military career. "OBITUARY. - COLONEL ROBERT B. MORROW - INDIAN MUTINY VETERAN Colonel Robert Bole Morrow, a veteran of the Indian mutiny, and eldest brother of Mr H. Morrow, of Richmond, died recently at Auckland at the age of 82. Colonel Morrow was born in the County of Longford, Ireland, in September, 1836. He joined the Wcstmeath Rifles, Militia, as ensign, in 1854, and was subsequently transferred to H.M. 46th Regiment of the Line. The headquarters of this regiment was drafted to the Crimea in the same year, the regimental reserve in which Colonel Morrow was serving, being sent to the island of Corfu, in the Mediterranean. After the Crimean war Colonel Morrow accompanied the regiment as instructor of musketry, to take part in repressing the mutiny in India, in which he was wounded. He also served with the 2nd Ghoorkas in the frontier war against the hill tribes, for which he received the mutiny and frontier medals. He next served on the staff of the late General Sir Robert Garrett at Simla, and was afterwards temporarily employed on the staff of the then Viceroy, the late Earl of Mayo. Being a marksman of considerable repute, and a great sportsman, he accounted for, among other game, 64 tigers, and by request of the Viceroy, arranged the train of elephants, 40 in number, i'or the big game- shooting, on the occasion of the visit to India of the late Duke of Edinburgh. The duke had the good fortune to bag several tigers. After a service of 19 years in India, Colonel Morrow came to New Zealand in 1877, and had resided here ever since. He took an active part in church matters in connection with St. Sepulchre's parish for a number of years, and a very kindly interest as a committeeman, in the Children's Orphan Home and the Costley Boys' Institute. Upon the organisation of the King's Empire Veterans, he was appointed to the command." | |||||||||||||||||||||||
