HMS Pelorus was a 2,330 ton displacement, 21 gun corvette launched on 5 February 1857 from the Devonport dockyard. It was captained at first by Frederick Beauchamp Paget Seymour, then by Henry Boys, and later William Henry Haswell. In June 1860, as flagship of the Australian Squadron, it participated in the attack on Puketakauere pā during the First Taranaki War. Later that year, the crew landed at Kairau to support British troops under attack from Maori and in January 1861 a gun crew from the ship helped defend the British redoubt at Huirangi against the Maori.

Afghanistan Medal 1878-80, one clasp, Ali Musjid named to: 1430 Pte G.Byatt. 4th Bn Rifle Bde. The 4th battalion Rifle Brigade took part in the expedition against the Jowaki and Hazari tribes, and in the Afghan campaign, for which it added “Ali Masjid” and “Afghanistan, 1878-79,” to the list of honours. The Battle of Ali Masjid, which took place on 21 November 1878, was the opening battle in the Second Anglo-Afghan War between the British forces, under Lieutenant-General Sir Samuel James Browne, and the Afghan tribesmen, under Ghulam Haider Khan. The perceived offence of an Afghan general's refusal to allow a British envoy entrance to the country was used as an excuse to attack the fortress of Ali Masjid, as the opening battle in the war. Despite numerous setbacks, including half the troops getting lost or delayed and missing the battle entirely, the British were "lucky" that the Afghans abandoned their position overnight. First Infantry Brigade, Commander: Brigadier-General H. T. Macpherson made up of: 4th Battalion Rifle Brigade, 20th Brownlow's Punjabis, 4th Gurkha Rifles. The First Brigade brought an approximated 1,900 men, most of whom were hampered by the puttees they wore in place of gaiters, which tightened around their legs due to the climate and caused leg cramps. This battalion did not reach the Lahore settlement until 6 am on 21 November, just as the first battalion was preparing to leave,[2] nevertheless they did their best to keep up. Colonel Jenkins led the scouts in this brigade. Due to the heat, insufficient water supplies, and lack of shaded areas, Brigadier-General J. A. Tytler had to call for a halt at Pani Pal. While the men rested Tytler decided to check whether their left flank and rear were in danger. As Jenkins led a party out to scout the hills, a reverberation filled the air which Jenkins claimed was the firing of heavy guns. Tytler decided the best course of action would be if he stayed behind in Pani Pal with some men and Jenkins led the rest onward; that way Tytler was able to defend rear flank of Jenkins' troops should the need arise.
