Henry Adrian Churchill

Henry Adrian Churchill (1828–1886) was an archaeologist of ancient Mesopotamia and a friend of his fellow archaeologist William Kennett Loftus. As part of the 1849-52 Turco-Persian frontier commission sent by the British government, he, Loftus and a detachment of troops rode across the desert and marshes of Chaldaea from the Euphrates to the lower Tigris, observing remains as they went.
