Michael Cochrane was born in Callan and attested for the 57th Foot on 27 March 1854, serving with the Regiment during the Crimean War (entitled to Medal with clasp Sebastopol). He served in New Zealand for ‘5 years and 5 months’ (and so presumably arrived with the main body of the Regiment in 1861), before being discharged in New Zealand ‘time expired’ on 11 June 1866.
