By The Way…
Whilst walking on deck he slipped, hit his head and fell overboard.
He was the governor and tutor to prince Arthur third son of Queen Victoria.
"Kumenhof" was his family's country retreat, Livonia is now Latvia and not Lithuania.
After an attack on the Redan he volunteered to go back out to bring back the scaling ladders. Whilst doing this he also rescued twenty wounded soldiers from under the Russians noses and brought them back to the trenches
