Named after the Victoria Cross holder Michael Murphy
For daring gallantry on the 15th April, 1858, when engaged in the pursuit of Kooer Singh's Army from Aziraghur, in having rescued Lieutenant Hamilton, Adjutant of the 3rd Sikh Cavalry, who was wounded, dismounted and surrounded by the enemy. Farrier Murphy cut down several men, and, although himself severely wounded, he never left Lieutenant Hamilton's side, until support arrived.

Mark this is one of your teams finest little documentaries. It was great to hear the two gentlemen's stories surrounding the rebuilding of the engine and its name sake. The ambient sounds and sights of people, engines and music really brought your video to life. Nice one! . . . Garry
