Captain Hugh Smith, 3rd Foot, Deputy-Assistant-
Quartermaster-General; Major Maitland, Deputy-
Assistant-Adjutant-General, who is wounded ; and
Captain Street, 57th Regiment, and Lieutenant
Torrens, 23rd Regiment, Brigade-Majors ; and 1
may here express my deep regret that Lieutenant-
Colonel Charles Seymour, Scots Fusilier Guards,
should have fallen. He bad served on the staff
with the lamented Sir George Cathcart at the Cape,
and had accompanied him to this country in the
capacity of assistant-adjutant-general ; and he was
remarkable for his intelligence, gallantry, and zeal.
I would likewise beg to solicit your grace's atten-
tion to the services of Colonel Horn, who commanded
the 20th, and came out of action the senior officer of
the division; Captain Inglis, commanding 57th ; and
Lieutenant-Colonel Smyth, commanding the 08th
Itegiment, who was severely wounded ' • and Captain
Dallas, commanding detachment of the 40th ; of
Lieutenant-Colonel Ainslie, of the 21st, who was
wounded; of Lieutenant• Colonel Swyny, who unfor-
tunately fell at the head of the 03rd, and was suc-
ceeded in the command by Major the Honourable
Robert Dalzell ; and Lieutenant Colonel Horsford,
of the Ride Brigade ; of Lieutenant. Colonel 1). Wood,
the senior officer of the artillery of the division; and
Major Townsend, of the artillery, who was unfortu-
nately killed. Ile was considered a most valuable
officer, and was ably succeeded by Captain Hoete.
LiPotenant-Colonel Powell would have commanded

the 67th, but he wee on duty in the trenches.

The officers of the light division whose services
have been brought to my notice by Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Sir George Brown, who was obliged by a wound
in his arm to quit the field before the action termi-
nated, and by Major-General Codrington, who suc-
ceeded him in the command, are Lieutenant-Colonel
Yea, of the Royal Fusiliers; Mejor Thomas Trou-
bridge, of the same regiment, who was commanding
in a battery, and, though desperately wounded,
behaved with the utmost gallantry and composure ;
Major Bunbury, of the 23rd, who replaced him in
command; Brevet-Major Mundy, commanding the
33rd; Lieutenant-Colonel Shirley, of the 88th, who
was employed in the trenches ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Jefferies, commanding the portion of that regiment
which was in the field; Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton,
commanding the 77th; Mtjors Stratton and Dixon,
of the same regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Unett, of
the 19th, on duty in the trenches ; Lieutenant Colonel
Lawrence and Captain Elringten of the Rifle Brigade ;
'
and Captain Hopkins, commanding a detachment of
Royal Marines, which had been brought up to re•
place a wing of the rifle brigade that had been sent
down to Balaklava, and fully maintained the reputa-
tion of that distinguished corps ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Lake, of the Royal Horse Artillery ; and Captain
Morris, commanding the battery attached to the
division ; Colonel Sullivan, Assistant-Adjutant-

termaster General ; Captain Hallowell, Deputy-As
sistant Quartermaster• General; Captain Macdonell,
and the other officers of the Lieutenant-General's
personal staff; Lieutenant the lion. H. Campbell,
aide de camp to Major-General Codrington ; and
Brigadier-General Buller's aide-de-camp, Lieutenant
the Hon. H. Clifford, whose conduct is represented
to have been peculiarly conspicuous; Captains
Mackenzie and Glyn, the Brigadier-Majors of the
division.
iLls due to the principal medical officers of the
several divisions, Doctors Alexander, Cruickshank,
Forest Linton, and liumfrey, to report that their
able exertions have been strongly represented to
rile, and deserve to be most houourably mentioned ;
and the arrangements of the Inspector-General of
Hospitals Dr. Hall, for the care of the wounded,
merit the expression of my entire approbation.
Lieutenant-Colonel Gambier, of the Royal Artillery,
who had the command of the artillery in the trenches
during the siege, a duty which he discharged to my
perfect satisfaction, was, I regret to say, unfortunately
wounded, when moving up with the two eighteen-
pounders which I had ordered to be brought to the
right of the 2nd division ; and I have great pleasure
in speaking in terms of high panegyric of Lieu.
tenant-Colonel Dickson who, had charge of
those guns, Captain D'Aguilar, and the officers and
men who worked them ; they performed under Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Dickson's directions the most effective
service, notwithstanding that they had a very heavy
tire upon them, and that their loss in con4eque Ilet,
was very severe, seventeen men having been either
killed or wounded, and one officer wounded.
I derived, as upon every other occasion, the', most
able and effective assistance from the Adjutant and
Quartermaster-General, Brigadier-General Estcourt
and Brigadier-General Airey, and their assistants,
Major the Honourable W. Pakenham and Lieutenant-
Colonel the Honourable A. Gordon, and the officers
of their departments ; and from the military secretary
Lieutenant-Colonel Steele, Lieutenant-Colonel Patriot*
Somerset, and the officers of my personal statf; and
I feel deeply indebted to Lieutenant-General Sir
John Burgoyne for the constancy with which he
applies himself to the discharge of his arduous duties
