Private William Sewell (1830 (c)-1910) enlisted in the Army in 1851/1852 and was badly wounded at the Battle of Balaklava during the Charge of the Light Brigade. The injury to his head was so severe that for the remainder of his life a metal plate was fixed over the wound. He left the Army as a sergeant and became a coachman, dying in Liverpool.
