Major John Berryman is depicted refusing to leave the side of the injured Captain Webb at Balaklava, displaying unwavering loyalty and courage under fire. Next, Private W. Norman is shown single-handedly bringing in two wounded Russian soldiers, demonstrating incredible strength and determination in the face of adversity. Private Thomas Beach is commemorated for his heroic actions at Inkerman, where he rescued Colonel Carpenter from the battlefield, putting his own life at risk to save a fellow officer. Major F.C. Elton is seen working tirelessly in the trenches under heavy fire, displaying remarkable resilience and leadership during the intense conflict. Brevet Major C.H. Lumley is shown engaging in hand-to-hand combat with three Russian gunners in the Redan, demonstrating exceptional bravery and skill in the heat of battle. Finally, Serg.
