Fortunately, he never had to fight in a war as he was 35, with five children, when the US finally joined in WW2. He helped organise blackout practice as we lived near enough to Long Island Sound where a German submarine was spotted."

Citation Detail: From: Janet Dowling ; Sent: 25 June 2025 10:22; To: email address; Subject: Origins; Hi Brian, About my Dowling family; Daniel Dowling was in the Charge of the Light Brigade. He made a career in the British army, changing his name to Lang, a Scottish Borders name, but known as a Dowling to us. He retired to upstate New York and my parents were in touch with him. My father, John Edwin, born in upstate New York, Troy in 1903, was in the reserve army corps and trained in horsemanship. Fortunately, he never had to fight in a war as he was 35, with five children, when the US finally joined in WW2. He helped organise blackout practice as we lived near enough to Long Island Sound where a German submarine was spotted. I did a basic DNA test which suggests our family is from West/Northern Ireland. My father said his family emigrated from Galway, though I since learned that Sligo provided a departure port too. Photo of my father on horseback as an army reservist to follow.

On 25 June 2025 grand-daughter Janet wrote: "Daniel Dowling was in the Charge of the Light Brigade. He made a career in the British army, changing his name to Lang, a Scottish Borders name, but known as a Dowling to us.
He retired to upstate New York and my parents were in touch with him."

Daniel Dowling 1832 - 1913 Light Brigade Hero Dies
Daniel Dowling Rode in Famous British Charge at Balaklava
Utica. Jul. 15, 1913 - In the County Almshouse in Rome to-day died a survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava on Oct 25th. 1854. He was Daniel Dowling, born in Carlow Ireland, in 1832. He enlisted in the British Army, going at once into the Crimean Peninsula, where he was in many battles. He was one of the very few who came out of the charge of the six hundred without a wound, and not until the battle of Inkerman was he wounded.
After the Crimean War Dowling went to many places fighting for England. He saw service in Malta, Egypt, India, Australia and South America. He came to the United States with the intention of entering the Union Army. When he was on his way here the surrender of Lee was made.
Dowling’s only sister had gone with her husband to South America. He began a search for her and for years travelled in many countries on his quest which was never successful. He had distant relatives in this region age; coming on, he was compelled to seek the Almshouse.
The veteran had all his discharge papers, but he never received and assistance from the British Government. Among the few possessions he retained to the last were the spurs he wore in the famous charges and a copy of Tennyson’s poem.

“Syracuse Herald Journal,” Syracuse, New York, USA - 24 Oct 1954 - Light Brigade Vet Lived in Sangerfield By George W. Walter
ONEIDA – Monday will mark the 100th anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, immortalized in the famous poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. In Oneida and Madison Counties only a few people now remember that Daniel Dowling, formerly of Sangerfield, was the last surviving Crimean War veteran of the immortal Charge. Dowling died in Rome, July 15, 1913, at the age of 81.
A niece, Miss Lucy Dowling, resides at 1131 Summit pl., in Utica, and a nephew was the late Supreme Court Justice William Dowling, also of Utica.
DAN DOWLING was born in County Carlow, Ireland, in 1832, a member of a large family. He grew up in Ireland, a handsome, red-headed, wiry man. He enlisted in the British Army when the war fever swept through the British Isles in January, 1854, just a few weeks before England joined with France and Turkey to sweep Russia from the Baltic and Crimea. Dowling became one of the cavalrymen in the Light Brigade.
On Oct. 25, 1854, he was with the 700 members of the Brigade under Lord Cardigan, stationed at the western end of the valley under the heights of Chersonese, awaiting orders to plunge into the battle of Balacava. The English Heavy Brigade had already attacked.
In a desperate effort to recapture Turkish guns lost in the morning fighting, Lord Raglan gave the order for the Light Brigade to try and prevent the Russians from removing the guns. The orders became hopelessly jumbled in their transmission and the Light Brigade rode directly into the Russian guns… into the Valley of Death. The Brigade would have been annihilated if it had not been for the brilliant charge of the French 4th Chasseurs d’Afrique against the Fedoukine Hills. Only 200 of the Light Brigade survived. One of them was Dan Dowling.
He fought bravely through the war. In the battle of Inkerman he was struck by a shell fragment in the head and badly wounded. He was taken to one of the crude hospitals that was in charge of a brave English nurse named Florence Nightingale.
After his wound healed he returned to duty. After the treaty of peace he saw service at other British outposts at Malta, in Egypt, India, Australia and South America.
Letters from home related that two of his brothers, William and John Dowling had migrated to the United States. Dan Dowling resigned from the army when he had only one year more to serve to obtain a life pension.
A younger sister, Margaret Dowling, married young and with her husband, moved to Australia. She was never heard from again, although Dan Dowling traveled twice around the world searching for her.

Dan Dowling resigned from the army when he had only one year more to serve to obtain a life pension. A younger sister, Margaret Dowling, married young and with her husband, moved to Australia. She was never heard from again, although Dan Dowling traveled twice around the world searching for her. Source: Sue Clement

Citation Detail: From: Janet Dowling ; Sent: 25 June 2025 10:22; To: email address; Subject: Origins; Hi Brian, About my Dowling family; Daniel Dowling was in the Charge of the Light Brigade. He made a career in the British army, changing his name to Lang, a Scottish Borders name, but known as a Dowling to us. He retired to upstate New York and my parents were in touch with him. My father, John Edwin, born in upstate New York, Troy in 1903, was in the reserve army corps and trained in horsemanship. Fortunately, he never had to fight in a war as he was 35, with five children, when the US finally joined in WW2. He helped organise blackout practice as we lived near enough to Long Island Sound where a German submarine was spotted. I did a basic DNA test which suggests our family is from West/Northern Ireland. My father said his family emigrated from Galway, though I since learned that Sligo provided a departure port too. Photo of my father on horseback as an army reservist to follow. Regards from, Janet Dowling Gormley London, UK,

Citation Detail: Entry for DOWLING, DANIEL 1832-1913: Light Brigade Hero Dies. Daniel Dowling Rode in Famous British Charge at Balaklava. Utica. Jul. 15, 1913 - In the County Almshouse in Rome to-day died a survivor of the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava on Oct 25th. 1854. He was Daniel Dowling, born in Carlow Ireland, in 1832. He enlisted in the British Army, going at once into the Crimean Peninsula, where he was in many battles. He was one of the very few who came out of the charge of the six hundred without a wound, and not until the battle of Inkerman was he wounded. After the Crimean War Dowling went to many places fighting for England. He saw service in Malta, Egypt, India, Australia and South America. He came to the United States with the intention of entering the Union Army. When he was on his way here the surrender of Lee was made. Dowling’s only sister had gone with her husband to South America. He began a search for her and for years travelled in many countries on his quest which was never successful. He had distant relatives in this region age coming on, he was compelled to seek the Almshouse. The veteran had all his discharge papers, but he never received and assistance from the British Government. Among the few possessions he retained to the last were the spurs he wore in the famous charges and a copy of Tennyson’s poem. Special to The New York Times. July 16, 1913, Wednesday,

- [S2704] SOURCE (Short): Various, Title: Internet Websites On-Line, Citation Detail: Entry for DOWLING, DANIEL; “Syracuse Herald Journal,” Syracuse, New York, USA; 24 Oct 1954; Light Brigade Vet Lived in Sangerfield; By George W. Walter; ONEIDA – Monday will mark the 100th anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, immortalized in the famous poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. In Oneida and Madison Counties onlt a few people now remember that Daniel Dowling, formerly of Sangerfield, was the last surviving Crimean War veteran of the immortal Charge. Dowling died in Rome, July 15, 1913, at the age of 81. A niece, Miss Lucy Dowling, resides at 1131 Summit pl., in Utica, and a nephew was the late Supreme Court Justice William Dowling, also of Utica.; DAN DOWLING was born in County Carlow, Ireland, in 1832, a member of a large family. He grew up in Ireland, a handsome, red-headed, wiry man. He enlisted in the British Army when the war fever swept through the British Isles in January, 1854, just a few weeks before England joined with France and Turkey to sweep Russia from the Baltic and Crimea. Dowling became one of the cavalrymen in the Light Brigade. On Oct. 25, 1854, he was with the 700 members of the Brigade under Lord Cardigan, stationed at the western end of the valley under the heights of Chersonese, awaiting orders to plunge into the battle of Balacava. The English Heavy Brigade had already attacked. In a desperate effort to recapture Turkish guns lost in the morning fighting, Lord Raglan gave the order for the Light Brigade to try and prevent the Russians from removing the guns. The orders became hopelessly jumbled in their transmission and the Light Brigade rode directly into the Russian guns… into the Valley of Death. The Brigade would have been annihilated if it had not been for the brilliant charge of the French 4th Chasseurs d’Afrique against the Fedoukine Hills. Only 200 of the Light Brigade survived. One of them was Dan Dowling. He fought bravely through the war. In the battle of Inkerman he was struck by a shell fragment in the head and badly wounded. He was taken to one of the crude hospitals that was in charge of a brave English nurse named Florence Nightingale. After his wound healed he returned to duty. After the treaty of peace he saw service at other British outposts at Malta, in Egypt, India, Australia and South America. Letters from home related that two of his brothers, William and John Dowling had migrated to the United States. Dan Dowling resigned from the army when he had only one year more to serve to obtain a life pension. A younger sister, Margaret Dowling, married young and with her husband, moved to Australia. She was never heard from again, although Dan Dowling traveled twice around the world searching for her. Source: Sue Clement

Wikipedia:-
The 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot was a distinguished infantry regiment of the British Army, known for its service during the Napoleonic Wars and its unique motto, "Faugh A Ballagh" (Clear the Way).
Formation and Early History
The 87th Regiment of Foot was raised on September 18, 1793, in response to the threat posed by the French Revolution. Initially named the 87th (The Prince of Wales's Irish) Regiment of Foot, it was formed by General Sir John Doyle and primarily recruited from Ireland. The regiment was involved in various campaigns, including the Flanders Campaign and later served in the West Indies and South America during the early 19th century.
Notable Engagements
The regiment gained fame for its actions during the Battle of Barrosa on March 5, 1811, where it captured a French Imperial Eagle, a significant military honor. This battle solidified its reputation and established its motto, "Faugh A Ballagh," which became synonymous with the regiment's identity.
Amalgamation and Legacy
In 1881, the 87th Regiment amalgamated with the 89th (Princess Victoria's) Regiment of Foot to form the Princess Victoria's (Royal Irish Fusiliers). This new regiment continued the legacy of the 87th, which was officially renamed the Royal Irish Fusiliers in 1827. The regiment served in various conflicts, including the Boer War and World War I, before eventually merging into the Royal Irish Rangers in 1968.
Conclusion
The 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of Foot played a crucial role in British military history, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. Its legacy continues through the traditions and honors of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, reflecting the valor and dedication of its soldiers throughout the years.

He enlisted in the British Army when the war fever swept through the British Isles in January, 1854, just a few weeks before England joined with France and Turkey to sweep Russia from the Baltic and Crimea. Dowling became one of the cavalrymen in the Light Brigade. On Oct. 25, 1854, he was with the 700 members of the Brigade under Lord Cardigan, stationed at the western end of the valley under the heights of Chersonese, awaiting orders to plunge into the battle of Balacava. The English Heavy Brigade had already attacked. In a desperate effort to recapture Turkish guns lost in the morning fighting, Lord Raglan gave the order for the Light Brigade to try and prevent the Russians from removing the guns. The orders became hopelessly jumbled in their transmission and the Light Brigade rode directly into the Russian guns… into the Valley of Death. The Brigade would have been annihilated if it had not been for the brilliant charge of the French 4th Chasseurs d’Afrique against the Fedoukine Hills. Only 200 of the Light Brigade survived. One of them was Dan Dowling. He fought bravely through the war. In the battle of Inkerman he was struck by a shell fragment in the head and badly wounded. He was taken to one of the crude hospitals that was in charge of a brave English nurse named Florence Nightingale. After his wound healed he returned to duty. After the treaty of peace he saw service at other British outposts at Malta, in Egypt, India, Australia and South America. Letters from home related that two of his brothers, William and John Dowling had migrated to the United States. Dan Dowling resigned from the army when he had only one year more to serve to obtain a life pension. A younger sister, Margaret Dowling, married young and with her husband, moved to Australia. She was never heard from again, although Dan Dowling traveled twice around the world searching for her. Source: Sue Clement,

Citation Detail: Entry for DOWLING, DANIEL; “Syracuse Herald Journal,” Syracuse, New York, USA; 24 Oct 1954; Light Brigade Vet Lived in Sangerfield; By George W. Walter; ONEIDA – Monday will mark the 100th anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, immortalized in the famous poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson. In Oneida and Madison Counties onlt a few people now remember that Daniel Dowling, formerly of Sangerfield, was the last surviving Crimean War veteran of the immortal Charge. Dowling died in Rome, July 15, 1913, at the age of 81. A niece, Miss Lucy Dowling, resides at 1131 Summit pl., in Utica, and a nephew was the late Supreme Court Justice William Dowling, also of Utica.; DAN DOWLING was born in County Carlow, Ireland, in 1832, a member of a large family. He grew up in Ireland, a handsome, red-headed, wiry man. He enlisted in the British Army when the war fever swept through the British Isles in January, 1854, just a few weeks before England joined with France and Turkey to sweep Russia from the Baltic and Crimea. Dowling became one of the cavalrymen in the Light Brigade. On Oct. 25, 1854, he was with the 700 members of the Brigade under Lord Cardigan, stationed at the western end of the valley under the heights of Chersonese, awaiting orders to plunge into the battle of Balacava. The English Heavy Brigade had already attacked. In a desperate effort to recapture Turkish guns lost in the morning fighting, Lord Raglan gave the order for the Light Brigade to try and prevent the Russians from removing the guns. The orders became hopelessly jumbled in their transmission and the Light Brigade rode directly into the Russian guns… into the Valley of Death. The Brigade would have been annihilated if it had not been for the brilliant charge of the French 4th Chasseurs d’Afrique against the Fedoukine Hills. Only 200 of the Light Brigade survived. One of them was Dan Dowling. He fought bravely through the war. In the battle of Inkerman he was struck by a shell fragment in the head and badly wounded. He was taken to one of the crude hospitals that was in charge of a brave English nurse named Florence Nightingale. After his wound healed he returned to duty. After the treaty of peace he saw service at other British outposts at Malta, in Egypt, India, Australia and South America. Letters from home related that two of his brothers, William and John Dowling had migrated to the United States. Dan Dowling resigned from the army when he had only one year more to serve to obtain a life pension. A younger sister, Margaret Dowling, married young and with her husband, moved to Australia. She was never heard from again, although Dan Dowling traveled twice around the world searching for her. Source: Sue Clement,
