Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I muri i a Sandhurst, ko Alfred Tippinge he kaitiaki o te rārangi 68 i te tau 1838. I eke ia i roto i nga rarangi hei kaitiaki 1843, he rangatira 1847, me te rangatira rangatira 1854, katahi ka whakawhiti atu ia ki nga Grenadier Guards. I riro ia hei rangatira me te koromatua i te tau 1858. "I mahi ia me te wehewehe" i nga waahanga e wha o te pakanga o Crimea: Alma
Ko Balaclava, ko Sebastapol me Inkerman. I whara kino ia i Inkerman, a "i mahue mo te mate i runga i te mara... mo nga haora e rua tekau ma wha" i mua i te whakaoranga. Whai muri i te pakanga o te tau 1854 i whakawhiwhia ki a ia "te tohu Crimean me nga kopare e wha, te Knighthood [ranei Chevalier] o te Legion of Honor, te tuarima o te Medjidie, me te tohu Turkish". Ka kīia ia e te "Hampshire Advertiser" he "Hero Inkerman", ā, ka mea, "I whakaahuatia ia i tētahi wā ko ia tētahi o ngā tangata maia rawa i te mahi i mōhiotia". I reti a Tippinge i te ope taua i te tau 1858.
