Honours paid to the remains of Captain Hyde Parker, by the English, French and Turkish... 1854. Creator: Smyth

Honours paid to the remains of Captain Hyde Parker, by the English, French and Turkish Troops - from a sketch by Lieutenant Bredin, 1854. Crimean War: Hyde Parker, in command of Royal Navy ship Firebrand, was killed while leading on his men to the storm of a Russian fortification at the Sulina mouth of the Danube. He...had fired his rifle once, and struck down a Cossack, and was reloading, when a volley of balls fell around, one of which pierced his heart. He fell into the arms of his coxswain, and in a moment this noble and gallant sailor had ceased to live'. View of...honours paid to Captain Parker's remains by the English, French, and Turkish military and civil authorities. The Firebrand fired twenty minute-guns on the body leaving Tophana [near Constantinople]. After the conclusion of the burial service an eloquent address was pronounced by the Rev. Percy Rogers, Chaplain of the Firebrand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
