sir thomas st vincent hope cochrane troubridge , 3rd baronet cb -lrb- 25 may 1815 -- 2 october 1867 -rrb- was an officer of the british army who served with distinction during the crimean war .
born into a distinguished family with strong military connections , two grandfathers and his father had been admirals in the royal navy , troubridge entered the army and rose through the ranks , serving at first with the 73rd -lrb- perthshire -rrb- regiment of foot , and then the 7th -lrb- royal fusiliers -rrb- regiment of foot , the latter being a regiment he would later command .
he served with his regiment in many stations throughout the empire , inheriting his father 's baronetcy in 1852 , and held the rank of major in 1854 when the crimean war broke out .
troubridge went out with his regiment and saw action in some of the early battles of the war , playing an important role in the battle of alma .
he was involved in the heavy fighting surrounding the defence of british gun batteries during the battle of inkerman , and was badly wounded , losing his right leg and left foot .
he refused to leave the battlefield until the attacks had been repulsed , and was commended for his gallantry by his commanding officer .
he returned to britain and received a number of awards and promotions for his actions in the crimea , but was unable to return to front-line service due to his injuries .
he remained active in the army in superintending parts of the supply and logistics forces , which he carried out until his death in 1867 .
