- The future must have looked bright for the seventeen year old Ninian Mackersey when he stepped up to receive his award in 1851. However, a cruel fate awaited young Ninian as the Campbell Town District Register of Deaths for 1851 records his tragic demise from consumption (tuberculosis) just four years later at the age of 21.
