William Morley was born in the Parish of Snenton [Sneinton], Nottingham, and attested for the 32nd Regiment of Foot at Nottingham on 28 November 1843, aged 19, a joiner by trade. He ‘served in the 1st and 2nd Siege operations before Mooltan in 1848-9; Battle of Goojerat 21 February 1849; In the Defence of Lucknow from 30 June to 22 November 1857; Battle of Cawnpore 6 December 1857, and throughout the subsequent campaign for the reduction of Oudh 1858-9; Punjab Medal & 2 Clasps, for Mooltan and Goojerat, Indian Mutiny Medal and 1 Clasp for Lucknow [sic]’. He also served on the North West Frontier in 1852 and earned the India General Service Medal 1854 with clasp ‘North West Frontier’ but this was not issued until June 1871 and sent to him care of the Royal North Lincoln Militia. He was discharged from the 32nd Foot in the rank of Quartermaster Sergeant on 9 February 1864, after 21 years and 72 days’ service. It is more than likely that he also received the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. He died on 16 April 1890.
Sold with copied discharge papers.
