Lieutenant-General Cannon (Behram Pacha) - from a photograph by Claudet, 1856. Creator: Unknown.

Lieutenant-General Cannon (Behram Pacha) - from a photograph by Claudet, 1856. 'On the breaking out of the war between Russia and Turkey, in 1853, Col. Cannon, with a few friends, proceeded to Turkey, and, with the authority of the British Government, accepted service in the Ottoman army, the Sultan conferring upon him the rank of Major-General, under the title of Behram Pacha...[During his visit to Market Lavington, near Devizes, he] spoke of the hardships through which a soldier had to pass. He himself had often gone with two biscuits a day, but he thanked Divine Providence for having preserved his life, and allowed him again to see the happy faces around him...He then placed in the hands of Mr. Stobbert the sum of £10...to be distributed. Cheers followed this announcement, and the same evening the labouring men were supplied with beer, and all retired in good order'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
