George Orby Wombwell

When he had reached the guns, his horse was killed under him and he was shortly after pulled off and taken prisoner, his sword and pistols being taken from him by some Russian Lancers.

He managed to escape, catch another loose horse and ride back to the British lines, hotly pursued by Russians.

[2] He retired from the Army as a lieutenant in 1855, when he inherited his title and Newburgh Priory, the old seat of the Belasyses, in Coxwold, North Yorkshire, on the death of his father.

They had two sons, who both died on active service, and three daughters:[5] At his death he was the last surviving officer of the Charge of the Light Brigade and was buried in Coxwold churchyard.

His title and 12,000 acre estate passed to his younger brother Henry Herbert Wombwell.
