Colour-Sergeant Thomas Jacques was killed in action at the battle of Inkermann on 5 November 1854. He was probably a member of the Colour party that took part in the fierce hand to hand fighting when the Guards Division was virtually surrounded by the Russians. Although no rank is given on his medal, he is the only man of this name shown on the medal rolls.
