Name: Samuel Tozer

Number: N/A

Unit: Royal Marine Light Infantry (HMS Terror)

Date of Death: 7 May 1848

Location: Between Victory Point, King William Island and Back River, Adelaide Peninsula

Country: Canada

Notes: Born in 1814. Resided Axbridge, Somerset. A Royal Marine sword was recovered from the Inuits in 1857. It was said to have belonged to a "Great officer", this was very likely Tozer. This suggests that Sgt Tozer had survived long enough to encounter some Inuit and hand over his sword.
