Henry Fryer was born in Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, in 1844. He attested for service in 7th Regiment of Foot at Uxbridge in August 1869 but transferred to the 63rd Regiment in March 1870. He served in India and Afghanistan and in the Kandahar Field Force and remained in India until his regiment went to Egypt in 1882, returning to the U.K. later in that year. He took his discharge from the army on 5 May 1883, and died at Uxbridge in 1896 aged 48.
