He is shown on the muster rolls as being sent to Scutari on the 30th of September 1854, "At Scutari" for the months of October-December and as having been sent there on the 26th of October, but also in the "Remarks" column of the medal rolls as "To Scutari, 26th October." He is later shown as rejoining the regiment from Scutari on the 15th of January 1855.

His middle name was Little. His father, Anthony Halloway, was born at Brightling, Sussex, and later became a miller at Beddington, and at Wimbledon, in Surrey. He was the eighth of eleven children known to have been born into the family, and said to have been born in 1833. Other children of the family are known to have been born at the Mill House, Beddington, Surrey, and this is most probably where he was too.
