Captain Dames was born in 1831. He is photographed here by Roger Fenton during the Crimean War (1853-56) which would place him in his early twenties. He survived the war and went on to live into the early 20th century, passing away in 1911. He looks quite the handsome romantic figure in his beard and busby.

Yes life and limb for God & country - and the Ensign. Handsome indeed! I am an inhabitant of the past :)
