Corporal Sawyer Halford was an English officer in the British Army who operated in the mid-19th century.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Military service[edit | edit source]
In 1852, Private Sawyer Halford was aboard the HMS Birkenhead as he talked with Lance Corporal Simeon Price about going towards the Xhosa Kingdom. However, they crashed after passing Cape Town onto a huge rock. Halford temporary separated from Price as he tended to other matters, like women and children and the horses. However, he soon met back with Price as they were ordered by Lieutenant Grimes to stay and hold quarter. However, as the ship began to break, Halford, along with other soldiers, lost balance and seemingly died on impact in front of Price.[1]
Finding Price again[edit | edit source]
In 1861, an alive Corporal Halford surprised and visited Price in Millbank Prison to offer help to beat Price's desertion charge. Off his service, Sawyer admitted that he is on pension and has a wife and a daughter. Nevertheless, he offered to help Price give a message to Pierrette Arnaud for him.[2] Halford later tracked down Arnaud and gave her the message from Price. Halford soon met with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his wife, Elizabeth Siddal as Arnaud deciphered the message.[3]
However, time passed as Halford later received a letter from Arnaud, who stated she went to Dublin, and gave it to Price. In 1862, Halford later joined Price for his trial at Horse Guards and became his representative for the court. However, after Price's testimony of unfair treatment and rule system for soldiers, Halford wondered if he could win. However, due to Byron Ockham's intervention, Price was immediately released from his arrest.[4]
Hunt for the Magus[edit | edit source]
At Bath, Halford, along with Byron Ockham, joined Price in his mission against the Magus, Oscar Kane, Price's former mentor. Halford stayed atop in an alley with Ockham, Arnaud, and Arnaud's fellow troupe family until a fight broke out within the bunker between Kane and Price. Within moments, Halford was in a separate gunfight in the alley, which quickly moved to the bunker. Within the fight, Kane's numbers dwindled as Halford saved Price's life from a gunman, whose neck he twisted. In the end, Kane lost but the room around them began to crumble. Halford took care of an injured Ockham as they all began to leave, except Price, who had to finally deal with Kane permanently.[5]
Aftermath and later life[edit | edit source]
After the fight, Halford stayed in Bath as he took Ockham to the hospital and waited until his friend recovered.[6] After the fight with Kane, Sawyer had retired with his wife and two kids in a hamlet in Essex.[7]
