Tuhia tētahi tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I puta a Lempriere i te Royal Military College, i te tau 1853 i reira ka whakawhiwhia ai ki a ia he komihana ki te Ensign me te kore hoko ki te 77th Regiment. I te tau 1853, ka pakaru ano te Pakanga o Crimea a ka haere a Lempriere me te 77th Regiment ki te Peninsula o Crimea i te tau 1854. Ka whawhai a Lempriere me te whakahirahira i te Pakanga o Alma
me te Pakanga o Inkerman. I whakaarohia a Lempriere e tana rangatira mo te pono, a, i whakautehia e te nuinga o ona hoa ahakoa tona rahi me tona pakeke. I te mutunga ka eke ia ki te tūranga Kapene, ā, ka ārahi i tētahi kamupene.
