Slade, WHCaptainBiography

William Hicks Slade progressed through the army through a combination of purchase, exchange and appointment. It was not until the Cardwell reforms of 1871 that promotion would be based on merit. The change was largely driven by the disasters of the Crimean Campaign and the need for something better.

During the course of his career William Slade regularly exchanged one commission for another in a different regiment.

He initially joined the 3rd Dragoon Guards as a Cornet in 1847, transferred to the 3rd Light Dragoons in 1849 as a Lieutenant then joined the 6th Dragoons as a Captain in 1855.

In 1857 he was appointed as a Captain in the 7th Hussars, exchanged to the 5th Lancers in 1858 and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in 1863.

He retired by sale of Commission in 1868.

He served in the Crimean Campaign with the 6th Dragoons and was present at the siege and capture of Sebastopol being awarded the Crimean Medal with clasp and the Turkish War Medal.

He served with the 7th Hussars during the Indian Mutiny and was present at the relief of Lucknow.

He was severely wounded by a sword cut to the left thigh at the Moosa Bagh and was one of the two senior officers incapacitated such that command fell to Cornet William Banks.

Trevelyan, HECornetBiography

Harrington Astley Trevelyan was born on the 16th of March 1835 at Stirling. He was the son of Lt Col Willoughby Trevelyan and Ann Mary Astley. He married Henrietta Louisa Harrison, daughter of John Ambrose Harrison, on the 20th of May 1858.

In 1851 he purchased the rank of Cornet in the 11th Hussars.

As a Lieutenant in the 11th Hussars, he embarked for the Crimea in the P.T. ‘Trent’ in May 1854. He was wounded in the Charge on the 25th of October, being shot in the calf of his left leg. He became a Captain on the 8th of December 1854 and went back to England on sick leave from the 1st of January 1855 to March 1856.

Trevelyan was presented with his Crimea medal by Queen Victoria on Horse Guards Parade on the 18th of May 1855.

He progressed through the ranks and, again through purchase, first joining the 8th Hussars in March 1859 then the 7th Hussars as a Major in August 1859.

He went on to serve with the 7th Hussars in India from 1860-1862 and again from 1863-1870.

He retired in 1870 as a Colonel and was member of the Reserve of Officers until 1880.

Trevelyan was for many years Manager of the Barton Vineyard Company at Fresno.

Harrington Astley Trevelyan died on the 29th of September 1900 aged 65 and is buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Fresno, California.
