Daniel Henry Lower, alias Daniel Henry Lord, was a native of Bath. Somerset, England, where he was born circa 1838. Daniel attested for the British Army using the alias 'Lord', at Canterbury, Kent, England, where he enlisted on, 16 August 1864. On enlistment he was posted to the 5th Royal Irish Lancers. Subsequent overseas service took him to British India where he served from 18 December 1870, and where he transferred to the 3rd Hussars on, 1 August 1874. Evidently soldiering in British India was appealing to Daniel, as he transferred again to the Unattached List on 30 March 1877 and completed his service in India on 5 December 1883 having reached the rank of Sergeant. He served at Home from 6 December 1883 - 22 January 1884 when he was discharged as he was found unfit for further service as a result of liver disease and chronic Bronchitis and Asthma

Daniel retired to St.Blazey, Cornwall and is shown in the 1891 Census as a Clerk and was later noted as an agent to the Blamey Estate. Daniel Lord latterly became the landlord at the London Inn, Landwell Street, Padstow, Cornwall and died in 1926. The London Inn is still going strong in 2024

Woodman Lord, Daniel's son, served with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry during the Great War and was wounded in the right shoulder as a result of a G.S.W. on 8 December 1916, and was entitled to a British War and Victory Medal pair
