Bir,—This long siege of 337 days having been brought.
a sucassfal termination, I am es remely desirous to MI
ander you Raielleney's notice the services of a most
last and wantons body of officers. I alAde to the atheism'
of the Royal Engineers, who, from the constitution' of limit
corps, in which promotion goes by seniority, art giver Fp
mated into other branches of the service, which was tie
reason why I did not include in my recommendatory
the name of those individnals who have patients'', da,
tinguished themselves, trusting to the opportunity whin
would be afforded me of bringing their names formai
specially.
. . . .

During the recent siege the duties of the trenthse fig
very severely on the subalterns of Engineers ; thringboll
the whole of the visitor they were constantly on duty, cord
as their ambers were small, the tour of each iodivideil
returned at short intervals—nothing but great seal eeij

spirits carried them through the severe week they hails
perform.
The following short statement will enable your Elmlimn
to see bow a subaltern of Engineers was called apes to es
duty in the trenches, several mons than ones waisted see
whore isontasod ; the following figures tater to some of ON
survivors :-33 days or nights, 106 do., 32 do., 46 do., 07Set
62 do., 66 do., 76 do.
It must be borne in mind that these tours of daty
always brought the individual under Ire, and is the win
ter months they were szpoood to all the soveritim of th

chiefly with the view to inspect the hospitals.
I was very much gratified with all I saw ; and the MI6 is

around, was very inciting.
