About the memorial: This is a brass plaque that lies fixed against the wall of the nave of St Michael's Church, Heckfield. John Campbell ERSKINE McNABB was the fourth son of John Munro Mcnabb & his wife Jean Mary McNabb, formerly Campbell, daughter of Revd. Donald Campbell. According to a newspaper article, the 3rd Bengal Cavalry were in mutiny. South Eastern Gazette - Tuesday 09 June 1857 (BY EXPRESS.) India.—More detailed intelligence respecting the mutiny of the 3rd Bengal Cavalry has been received this (Monday) morning in London. The dispatch says that the regiment is in open mutiny. The men have burnt down the lines and the officers’ bungalows. Several officers and men are killed and wounded. This outbreak is believed to have other ramifications among the natives. The aversion expressed by the Sepoys of Barrackpore to the greased cartridges had extended to, and been shared by, their brethren at Meerut. The disbanding of the regiment, and the ignominious execution of one of the native officers of another instead of calming appears rather to have excited the natives. At present the European troops at the station are the Carabineers, a battalion of the 60th Rifles, and troop of horse artillery.
