Frederick Haynes was born in 1820 into a military family from Sussex . In 1839, Haynes enlisted in the 4th Infantry Regiment. He continued his service in British India , where a year later he was promoted to lieutenant . In this rank as the head of the secretariat, Hugh Gough participated in the main battles of the first Anglo-Sikh war , received a baptism of fire at Wolves and a severe wound of the canister in the battle of Firozshah (a horse was killed under him) [1] . Soon he was given the rank of captain, and as part of Gough's headquarters in the 10th Infantry Regiment, he fought the second Anglo-Sikh war . After that they represent him to the rank of lieutenant colonel, but then they are transferred to the 21st Infantry Regiment of the Royal North British Fusiliers . As part of the 4th division, his regiment was transferred to the Crimea to a new theater of military operations, in the Crimean War of 1853–56 [1] . In the battle of Inkerman in 1854, 6 hours held their positions. Until the end of the war he served in the 21st regiment, but, despite his merits, he did not become a regiment commander because of the insufficient title for this post [2] . After the Crimean War, Haynes returns to India, where he works as head of the secretariat of the commander-in-chief of the Madras Army . In 1859, he finally received the rank of lieutenant colonel and the following appointment: commander of the 1st battalion of the 8th infantry regiment. The battalion is in his submission until 1861, after which he transferred to Aldershot .
