It's Lieutenant William W Jordan - Not William M Jordan. William Walker Jordan, only son of William Walker Jordan (Barrister at Law) and his wife Sarah Margaret Downes nee Spooner, was born in London on 28 January 1833 and attended Harrow and Westminster Preparatory School. William Walker Jordan joined the 34th Regiment of Foot as Ensign on 17 October 1851 and was killed in the trenches before Sebastapol during a sortie made by the enemy on the night of 22nd March 1855.He is my 1st cousin 4x removed.
 
Thank you for that. The W and M were hard to decipher. Glad of the new info and interest.
Hope you are well.
