OFFICIAL DESPATCHES

FROM

FIELD MARSHAL
LORD RAGLAN.

[FROM A SUPPLEMENT TO LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.]
War Department, Dec. 2, 1 p.m.
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day
received a Despatch, of which the following is a
copy, addressod to his Grace by Field-Marshal the
Lord Raglan, G.C.B.

No. 98.
Before Sebastopol, Nov. 11.
My Lord Duke,—When, on the Bth inst., I re-
ported the gallant and successful repulse of the very
formidable attack made upon the position occupied
by our troops above the ruins of Inkerman, I
stated that I would in a subsequent despatch lay
before your Grace, the names of the officers whose
conduct upon the occasion had been brought to
my notice. I now proceed to discharge that duty.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
reports most favourably of the exertions of Colonel
the Honourable George Upton, of the Coldstream
Guards, Lieutenant-Colonel Reynardson, of the
Grenadier Guards, and Colonel Walker, of the
Scots Fusilier Guards, as well as of Colonel
Cunynghame, Assistant-Quarter-Master-General,
and Lieutenant-Colonel Brownrigg, Assistant-
Adjutant-General ; Captain the Honourable Percy
Fielding, Acting Deputy- Assistan t-Q uart ermaster-
General, who was severely wounded ; and of Cap-
tain Butler, Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant-General,
who was unfortunately killed ; and here I may
pause to mention that he was the brother of Cap-
tain Butler, who so distinguished himself at Silis-
tria, and fell just before the siege was raised.
The Duke of Cambridge likewise recommends
Lieutenant-Colonel Dacres, of the Royal Artillery,
who commanded the field batteries of the Ist Divi-
sion, which were admirably served by Captains
Paynter and Woodhouse, Captain Hamley of the
Royal Artillery acting as Staff Officer to that
branch of the service ; Captain Ellison, the Brigade
Major to the Guards, and Major the Hon. James
Macdonald (whose conduct particularly attracted
my attention), and the other officers of his personal
staff.

His Royal Highness speaks also in the highest
terms of the spirited exertions of Assistant-Surgeon
Wilson, of the 7th Hussars, who at a critical mo-
ment rallied a few men which enabled them to hold
the ground till reinforced.
In the 2d Division, which, as I have already
informed your Grace, received the first attack,
and was engaged throughout the clay, the officers
whose names I have to bring forward are very

numerous.
Those who commanded the regiments of which
it is composed were, without exception, either
killed or wounded ; and, in many instances, those
who succeeded wore wounded. Major-General
Pennefather commends them highly. Colonel
Warren, of. the 55th, in command of the Ist
Brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Daubeney, 55th,
who succeeded to it •n the former being wounded,
and was himself wounded afterwards ; Lieutenant
Colonel Mauleverer, 30th, and Major Patullo, of
the same regiment, who took the command of
the regiment when the Lieutenant-Colonel was
wounded ; Major Champion, 95th Regiment, and
Major Hume, of the same corps, who were both
wounded, the latter having succeeded the former
in the command, and being himself relieved by
Captain Davis when he was obliged to leave the
field.

Lieutenant-Colonel Carpenter, of the 41st, who
was mortally wounded, and succeeded in the com-
mand by Major Eman ; Lieutenant-Colonel Hely,
of the 47th, who was obliged, when wounded, to
relinquish his command to Major Farren ; Majo r
Dalton, of the 49th, who fell at the head of his
corps, and was replaced by Major Grant ; Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Fitzmayer, commanding the bat-
teries of the 2d Division, under the able direc-
tion of Captains Pennycuick and Turner ; Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Wilbraham,and Lieutenant-Colonel
the Honourable Percy Herbert, the Assistant-
Adjutant, and Assistant-Quartermaster-General,
and Captain Thompson, 10th Hussars, and Cap-
tain Glazbrook, 40th Regiment, the Deputy-
Assistant-Adjutant, and Deputy-Assistant-Quar-
termaster-General of the Division ; Captains
Thackwell and Armstrong, the Brigade-Majors ;
Captain Harding, Aide-de-Camp, and the other
officers attached to the Major-General's personal
Staff, one of whom, Captain Allix, the First Aide-
de-Camp of Lieutenant-General Sir Do Lacy
Evans, and a most promising officer, was unfor-
tunately killed.
The 3rd Division was only partially engaged ;
but having been actively employed in all the siege
operations, Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Eng-
land avails himself of the opportunity to mention,
in terms of high approbation, the Staff Officers and
the officers in command of regiments, and has drawn
my attention to the services of Major Wood, As-
sistant•Adjutant-General, the Honourable Major
Colborne, Assistan t-Quarter-Master-General, Cap_
tain Wortley, Deputy-Assistant-Quarter-Master-
General, and Colonel Bell, of the Royal Regiment;
Colonel Cobbe, of the 4th Regiment ; Colonel the
Honourable A. Spencer, of the 44th ; Lieutenant.
Colonel Lowth, of the 38th ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Adams,
of the 28th ; and Lieutenant-Colonel
Waddy,
of the 50th Regiments ; Major the
Honourable A. Hope, of the 60th Regiment, Cap-
tain Daniell, of the 3Stli, Brigade Majors ; and
Captain Edward Neville, Scots Fusilier Guards,
his Aide-de Camp.
The superior officers of the 4th Division, Lieu-
tenant-General the Honourable Sir George Cath-
cart, and Brigadier-General Goldie, having fallen,
and the survivor, Brigadier-General Torrens, hav-
ing been severely wounded, I take upon myself to
recommend the surviving officers of the Staff, viz. :
Col. Wyndham, Assistant-Quartermaster-General,
and Capt. Hugh Smith, 3d Foot, Deputy-Assistant
Quartermaster-General; Major Maitland, Deputy-
Assistant - Adjutant - General, who is wounded ;
and Captain Street, 57th Regiment, and Lieu-
tenant Torreus, 23d Regiment, Brigade Majors ;
and I may hero express my deep regret that Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Charles Seymour, Scots Fusilier
Guards, should have fallen. Ile had 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
attention to the services of Colonel Horn, who
commanded the 20th, and came out of action the
senior officer of the division ; Captain Inglis, com-
manding 57th, and Lieutenant-Colonel Savo',
commanding the 68th Regiment, who was severely
wounded ; and Captain Dallas, commanding de-
tachment of the 46th ; of Lieutenant-Colonel
Ainsle, of the 21st, who was wounded ; of
Lieutenant-Colonel Swyny, who unfortunately fell
at the head of the 63d, and was succeeded in the
command by Major the Honourable Robert
Dalzell ; and Lioutonant-Golonel Horsford, of the
Rifle Brigade ; of Lieutenant-Colonel D. Wood,
the senior officer of the Artillery of the Division ;
and Major Townsend, of the Artillery, who was
unfortunately killed. He was considered a most
valuable officer, and was ably succeeded by Captain
Hoste. Lieutenant-Colonel Powell would have
commanded the 57th, but he was on duty in the

trenches.
The officers of the Light Division, whose ser-
vices have been brought to my notice by
Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown, who was
obliged by a wound in his arm to quit the
field before the action terminated, and by Major-
General Codringtou, who succeeded him in the
command, are Lieutenant-Colonel Yea, of the Royal
Fusiliers ; Major Sir Thomas Troubridgo, of the
same regiment, *who was commanding in a bat-
tery, and thoueh desperately wounded, behaved
with the utmost gallantry and composure ;
Major
Banbury, of the 23d, who replaced him in cornmand ; Brevet-Major Mundy, commanding the
33 ; Lieutenant-Colonel Shirley, of the 88th,
who was employed in the trenches ; Lieutenant-
