Edward Quinn was born in County Donegal and attested for the 6th Dragoons at Enniskillen on 3 October 1846, aged 20 years. He is shown in the muster rolls as being on active duty with his regiment for the whole of the quarter dating 1st October to the 31st December 1854, and it is most probable, therefore, that he took part in the famous charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaklava. Medal roll states "Invalided home 15 Sept 1855". He transferred to the 11th Hussars on 1 November 1866 and was discharged from the service on 1 November 1870. Sold with copied discharge papers.
