Private Samuel Morley, Military Train. London Gazette 07/08/1860.

'On the evacuation of Azimghur by Koer Singh's Army, on the 15th April 1858, a squadron of the Military Train and half a troop of Horse Artillery were sent in pursuit.

Upon overtaking them, and coming into action with their rearguard, a squadron of the 3rd Cavalry (also detached in pursuit), and one troop of the Military Train, were ordered to charge, when Lieutenant Hamilton, who

commanded the Sikhs, was unhorsed, and immediately surrounded by the enemy, who commenced cutting and hacking him whilst on the ground.

Private Samuel Morley, seeing the predicament that Lieutenant Hamilton was in, although his [Morley's] horse had been shot from under him, immediately and most gallantly rushed up, on foot, to his assistance, and in conjunction with Farrier Murphy, who has already received the Victoria Cross for the same thing, cut down one of the Sepoys, and fought over Lieutenant Hamilton's body, until further assistance came up, and thereby was the means of saving Lieutenant Hamilton from being killed on the spot.'
