On 11 September 1854 Hamilton was appointed as a Supernumerary Assistant Surgeon aboard H.M.S. Britannia for service in the Crimea. Serving ashore, he was transferred to the books firstly of H.M.S. Leopard and then H.M.S. Royal Albert. On 25 November 1854 Hamilton wrote a memorial asking for promotion since he was now the senior Surgeon of the Navy in the East - and on 26 January 1855 he was promoted to Surgeon. Whilst ashore with the Naval Brigade on 20 March 1855 Hamilton requested leave to return home due to the health of his father. This was granted and he departed the Crimea aboard H.M.S.
