He served as a sailor in the Royal Navy for a period after forced recruitment.

Cock of the North [6/8]
The title comes from the nickname of Alexander Gordon the 4th Duke of Gordon, who founded Gordon Highlanders. At the Siege of Lucknow, during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, 12-year-old Drummer Ross of the 93rd Highlanders signaled the arrival of his regiment to the besieged garrison, by climbing the spire of the Shah Najaf Mosque and playing "Cock o' the North" on his bugle, while under heavy fire from the rebel forces.
