15. William Augustus Gwynne Lieutenant
Ensign, 28th Regiment of Foot (North Gloucestershire), 11 July 1834.
Sailed with his rgiment to New South Wales, Australia, in 1835. Became a Lieutenant and guarded convicts at Tonrang.
Lieutenant in the 18th Regiment of Foot (Royal Irish).
"The six companies of the Royal Irish in Ceylon, sailed eastwards in May and June 1840, and the three depot companies, recently landed at Bombay from England, joined headquarters soon after the regiment arrived in China, raising in to a total of 667 of all ranks (Lt. W. A. Gwynne included in list of officers).
After assembling at Singapore, the point fixed for the general rendez-vous, the fleet sailed for China, and contrary to the universal expectation, did not stop at the mouth of the Canton river, but followed the coast upwards to the Island of Chusan. From its position near the mouth of the Yang-Tse-Kiang river this island was of great strategic importanceand was required as a base of Oprations. After a short bombardment by the men of War on July 5, 1840, the troups were landed, the 18th leading the attack and the place fell into our hands.
For several months the troups were kept inactive in Chusan, which proved to be a hot-bed of disease. In the hope of conciliating the inhabitants the soldiers at first were ordered to live under canvas, though there were hundreds of houses in which they could have been quartered. The camping grounds were selected without reference to the doctors, who protested in vain when they saw the tents pitched on low paddy fields surrounded by stagnant water, putrid and stinking from quantities of dead animal and vegetable matter. Under a sun hotter than was ever experienced in India."
"No time was lost in occupying Hong Kong, of which formal possession was taken on February 26, 1841, two days after the Royal Irish arrived there".The Royal Irish took part in the attack of Canton on May 23, 1841.
The Royal Irish took part in the attack of Amoy on 21 August 1841.
Commanded by Sir Henry Pottinger.The Regiment left for England in August 1842.

Drowned as a Midshipman whilst serving aboard HMS Captain. HMS Captain was an experimental warship and the subject of great controversy in the Royal Navy. She had both sails and an engine and was the first British Warship to have rotating iron gun turrets (6 guns) on the centreline of the hull and twin screws for propulsion. However she was thought to be over-sparred and over-canvassed. Worst of all she had only 7 feet of freeboard. Launched in 1869 at 6,950 tons, she was caught in a storm in the Bay of Biscay and capsized off Cape Finnistere on 7 Sep 1870. There were only 18 survivors. 472 of her company drowned, including the Captain, (Captain Hugh Talbot Burgoyne VC). HMS Captain is still the only Royal Navy warship to have been lost due to unseaworthiness.From: Crisp's Visitation of England and Wales.
