Vane was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Alexander Nevski of Russia in
1867 while on a special mission to Russia during which he invested Tsar Alexander II of a
Knight of the Order of Garter. In 1859 the Volunteer Force was created as a result of rising
tensions in Europe. Five Artillery Corps were raised in the County of Durham, the 2nd
Corps raised at Seaham, of which Lord Londonderry was Colonel Commandant.
