Michael Murphey

Vc Murphy
Farrier Michael Murphy, Military Train. London Gazette 27/05/1859.

For daring gallantry on the 15th April 1858, when engaged in the pursuit of Koer Singh's Army from Azimghur, in having rescued Lieutenant Hamilton, Adjutant of the 3rd Sikh Cavalry, who was wounded, dismounted and surrounded by the enemy.

Farrier Murphy cut down several men, and, although himself severely wounded, he never left Lieutenant Hamilton's side until support arrived.'
