THE BRITISH INFANTRY OFFICER'S 1845 PATTERN SWORD OF MAJOR WILLIAM HENRY KERR, BY WILKINSON & CO., NO 8590 FOR 1857 with regulation blade etched with 'VR' crowned and scrolls of foliage, gilt-brass regulation hilt with folding side-guard and wire-bound fishskin-covered grip, in its brass scabbard 82.5 cm; 32 ½ in blade William Henry Kerr (1825-1903) was born in Brittany. He was the son of Lieutenant Robert Kerr (1794-1857), whose military career had begun in the Royal Waggon Train at the Battle of Waterloo. William Henry Kerr purchased an ensigncy in the 80th (Staffordshire Volunteers) Regiment of Foot in July 1846, almost immediately exchanging to the 13th Foot. He purchased promotion to lieutenant in 1851 and to captain in 1854 but did not serve with his regiment when it deployed to the Crimea for the last year of the war with Russia of 1854-56. He was with the 13th at the Cape of Good Hope when news of the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny arrived, late in 1857, and was with the left wing of his regiment when it landed and disembarked at Calcutta in January 1858. He served for the remainder of the Mutiny with the left wing of the 13th, generally under command of Major J.W. Cox but occasionally in command himself. Hart's Army List subsequently summarised his active service in 1858 thus: 'Served in the Indian Campaign and commanded the left wing of the 13th Light Infantry in a general action at Amorah on 17th April 1858, also at Amorah on 25th April, he commanded 150 men; on 29th April he went in command of 200 of the 13th and was present at the taking of the fort of Nuggur; on 9th June he commanded 2 companies at the attack on the Rebels' position at Amorah, and was in command at Hurriah when attacked by the Rebels on 29th August.' Kerr's service in the Indian Mutiny was rewarded by the award of the campaign medal and the brevet rank of major (20th July 1858) and recognised by a Mention in Dispatches in The London Gazette of 27th July 1858. Kerr continued to serve with the 13th Regiment of Foot until 1863, purchasing the regimental rank of major in 1860.
