After service in the United Kingdom he embarked with the Army of the East in 1854 and was promoted sergeant during the voyage. His arm was broken by a canister shot during the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava (1854). Evacuated first to Scutari, he was invalided home on 20 December 1854 and remained throughout 1855 at the Invalid Depot at Chatham.
