    • Officer in the 5th Dragoon Guards.

      --- "Greenock Advertiser" 28 Nov 1854, page 1:
      Deaths Amongst Nobility at Inkerman
      There is scarcely a family in the peerage that is not placed in mourning by the recent actions in the East.
      Commencing with the officers of the staff, we find amongst the list of killed:--- . . .
      Captain the Hon. Granville Charles Cornwallis Eliot, Coldstream Guards, second son of the Earl St. Germans, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
      Captain the Hon. Henry Aldworth Neville, Grenadier Guards, third son of Lord Braybrooke, whose youngest son, the Hon. Grey Neville, was severely wounded in the cavalry engagement on the heights of Balaklava on the 25th ult.

      --- "Hull Packet" 1 Dec 1854, page 5:
      We regret to state that Cornet the Honourable Grey Neville, 5th Dragoon Guards, youngest son of Lord Braybrooke, died at Scutari on the 11th Oct., from wounds received at the battle of Balaklava. It will be remembered that Captain the Hon. Henry Aldworth Neville, Grenadier Guards, third son of Lord Braybrooke, was killed in action at the battle of Inkermann on the 5th ult.

      --- "Chelmsford Chronicle" 12 Oct 1855, page 3:
      SAFFRON WALDON.
      During the past week a neat and elaborate mural monument has been placed in the chancel of the parish church, to the memory of the two sons of the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke, who nobly fell during the Crimea campaign. The design and execution of this memento was entrusted to that eminent artist, Mr. Thomas Milnes, of 3, Judd Place East, London, and reflects the highest praise on his artistic skill. The following is the inscription on the tablet:--- "Sacred to the Memory of two gallant young Officers, the third and fifth sons of Lord and Lady Braybrooke, who, having accompanied their Regiments to the Crimea, were both cut off in the short space of the week while nobly fighting for their Queen and country. The Hon. Henry Aldworth Neville, Captain in the Grenadier Guards, after sharing in the glories of the memorable day, at Alma, was mortally wounded at the battle of Inkermann, Nov. 5th, 1854, and expired a few hours after, aged 30. The Hon. Grey Neville, Cornet in the 5th Dragoon Guards, died in the hospital at Scutari, Nov. 11th, 1854, of wounds received in the charge of the heavy cavalry, at Balaclava, Oct. 25th, aged24. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die, and their departure is taken for misery, and their going from us to be utter destruction, but they are in peace. Wisdom iii. 2, 3."
