Harry was born at Halstead in 1822. [Actually at Walworth].  He became a Major in the Turkish Contingent and fought for the Turks (at Plevna?) during the Crimean War - I still have a thin Silver Russian Cross (right) picked up on the field of battle from some dead soldier - and later joined the Persian Telegraphs. I have in my possession a copy of an interesting letter written to his brother Morrice (they were much attached to each other) from Teheran. It is dated October 14^th 1863 describing his journey from London to Teheran via Calais, Brussels, Cologne, Berlin, Konigsberg, St Petersberg, The Volga, Astrakan, The Caspian, Enzelli and Rescht to Teheran. They travelled (three of them) with a Persian servant (who deserted at Cologne to rejoin his former master Capt. Champain) by rail to Berlin where they had to stop a week owing to the Polish rebellion. Before entering Russia. Ten days were spent at Petrograd thence by Volga steamer to Peva Bazaar, thence post chaise and later on horseback to Rescht, then 200 miles on horseback to Teheran in under four days, changing the horses every 25 miles. Lots of tigers pheasants, partridges - two days over an immense chain of mountains, their vallies (sic), crossing rivers, getting wet all over – scenes very grand: At last - 53 days journey from London we sight the chief town of Persia, Teheran – not half a bad place? Both Harry and Morrice, judging from photographs were very handsome men (as indeed were William and Garnet). Harry married Harriet Fowle and when he died in 1864 and his wife died also. The two children, Harriet and Ella were taken by his eldest sister Eleanor, Mrs. Morgan Thomas, until they both married.
