Thomas Henry Gallienne was awarded his L.S. & G.C. Medal in July 1874.

He was born at St. Peter’s Port, Guernsey in January 1835 and joined the Royal Navy as an Ordinary Seaman 2nd Class aboard H.M.S. Pembroke in August 1854. Subsequently employed in the same ship in the Baltic operations of the following year, Gallienne next joined the Shannon and was present with her Naval Brigade, as Carpenter’s Crew, in the Lucknow operations. Discharged ashore from the Asia in August 1874, he rejoined the Service as a ‘Pensioner’ in the following year, being rated as a Shipwright, and was re-discharged to an increased pension in December 1878.
