Military and War Records

UK Data:

The Peninsular War - newspaper reports of the time record that an Ensign Lovelock of the 29th (Worcestershire) Regiment of Foot was slightly wounded in the Battle of Albuera, fought on 16 May 1811. In July of that year Ensign Lovelock was promoted to Lieutenant. Not so lucky was Lieutenant Lovelock of the 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot who was severely wounded in the same battle.

The Indian Mutiny - an Alfred Lovelock of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers) died of Cholera in Delhi on 4 August 1857, and was subsequently awarded the Indian Mutiny Medal. This may be the son of Robert and Martha from the St Pancras (Main) Tree who was born on 11 Jan 1834.
Benjamin Lovelock from the Lambourn-Sparsholt Tree also served in India during the Mutiny, and he is included in the records of Chelsea Pensioners below. A James and a Thomas also received the Medal but apparently did not survive long enough to become Chelsea Pensioners.

The Crimean War - entries in various newspapers of the time, state that an Edward Lovelock, a trumpeter in the Crimea with the 4th Light Dragoons, possibly went missing or was killed at the Siege of Sebastopol or in the battle of Balaclava. He does not appear in the records of Chelsea Pensioners, so clearly the assumption would be that he either perished at Sebastopol or later in the campaign. Stephen Lewis's website at https://glosters.tripod.com avers that Edward was killed at Balaclava on 25 October 1854 but does not quote the source.

The Bulletin of the Military Historical Society published in November 1967 records that Thomas Lovelock, of the 4th Light Dragoons, born in Wiltshire, was a Trumpeter with the Cavalry Light Brigade who was killed in the famous Charge during the Battle of Balaclava. The August 1970 edition of the Bulletin adds the information that Thomas had enlisted on 26 March 1846, confirmed that he was killed on 25 October 1854 - the day of the Charge - and had as next of kin his Aunt Eliza, residing in Chelsea. Obviously the newspapers got his forename wrong - or did they?

George Lovelock from the Compton Tree also served in the Crimea, and he is included in the records of Chelsea Pensioners below.

Here's a short tale of a Lovelocke who died in service, but not in any conflict.
