Major Grimes was an English major officer in the British Army who operated in the mid-19th century.
Biography[]
In 1852, Lieutenant Grimes was aboard the HMS Birkenhead, which later crashed after passing Cape Town onto a huge rock. Grimes soon ordered his men to calm down the horses, while ignoring the pleas to save injured men, especially from Lance Corporal Simeon Price. However, before giving more orders, he was temporarily knocked out by an unknown cloaked figure. Grimes regained consciousness and ordered the surviving men to bear the crash, disregarding the captain's order to abandon ship. He kept yelling orders as soldiers began to die from the destruction of the ship.[1]
In 1862, at the Horse Guards, a promoted and older Major Grimes was called to the stand of the trial of desertion against Simeon Price. He proclaimed that Price was a coward and endangered lives by running away, however Corporal Sawyer Halford questions if Simeon directly injured his fellow soldiers. Grimes remained brief in his responses, especially once Price verbally berated him for not being held accountable for his orders and how men died under his ridiculous orders. The major officer was left stifled as he later left the stand.[2]
