486 Pte William Cowie served with the 5th Dragoon Guards in the Crimea. He was married at
the time, as he sent a remittance to his wife (who was not formally named). Though he was
on duty the day of the Charge, he was not awarded a Balaclava Clasp which indicates he was
probably doing duty somewhere away from the battlefield on that day. He did receive the
Crimean Medal and Inkerman Clasp, and was certainly eligible for a Sebastopol Clasp,
although I was unable to find evidence of this on the Medal Rolls as I believe that list
has been lost.
