OFFICIAL DESPATCHES

FROU

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, addressed 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-Assistant-Quartermaster-
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 day, 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 were 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 Haly,
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 W ilbraham, and Lieutenant-Colonel
the Honourable Percy Herbert, the AAsistant-
Adjutant, and Assistant-Quat tern:Laster-General,
and Captain Thompson, 10th Hussars, and Cap-
tain Glazbrook, 49th 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 Allis, the First Aide-
de-Camp of Lieutenant-General Sir De 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.
taro Wortley, Deputy-Assistant- Q uar ter-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 38th, Brigade Majors ; and
Captain Edward Neville, Scots Fusilier Guards,
his Aida-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
th Regiment, and who is wounded ;
Quartermaster-General; Major Maitland, Deputy-
Assistantan d
Captain
Street,-Adjutant
General,
57
Lieu-
tenant Torrens, 23d Regiment, Brigade Majors ;
and I may here express my deep regret that Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Charles Seymour, Scots Fusilier
Guards, should have fallen. He 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 Smyth,
commanding the 68th Regiment, who was severely
wounded ; and Captain Dallas, commanding de-
tachment of the 4Gth ; 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 Lieutenant-Colonel Horsford, of the
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
Ifoste. Lieutenant-Colonel Powell would have
commanded the 57th, but ho 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 woundl in his arm to quit the
field before the action terminated, and by Major-
General Codrington, who succeeded him in the
command, are Lieutenant-Colonel Yea, of the Royal
Fusiliers ; Major Sir Thomas Troubridge, of the
same regiment, who was commanding in a bat-
tery, and thoueh desperately wounded, behaved
with the utmost gallantry and composure ; Major
Buubury, of the 23d, who replaced him in com
nand ; Brevet-Major Mundy,
commanding the
33 ; Lieutenant-Colonel Shirley, of the 88th,
who was employed in the trenches ; Lieutenant-

Colonel Jeff].les, commanding the pertion of that
regiment which was in the field ; Lieutenant-
Colonel Egerton, commanding the 77th ; Majors
Staton and Dixon, of the same regiment ; Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Unett, of the 19th, on duty in the
trenches ; Lieutenant-Colonel Lawrence and Cap-
tain Ebrington, of the Rifle Brigade ; and Captain

Hopkins, commanding a detachment of Royal
Marino, which had been brought up to replace
_ _ _

a wing of the • Rifle Brigadethat had been sent

down- to Balaklava, and fully maintained the

reputation of that distinguished corps ; Lieu-

tenant-Colonel Lake, of the Royal Horse

Artillery, and Captain Morris, commaiding the
battery attached to the division, Colonel Sullivan,
Assistant-Adjutant-General ; Lieutenant-Colonel

Airey, Assistant-Quartermaster-General ; Captain
Hallowell, Deputy Assistant-Quartermaster-
General ; Captain Macdonell and the other
officers of the Lieutenant-General's personal Staff ;
Lieutenant the Hon. H. Campbell, Aide-de-Camp
to Major-General Codrington ; and Brigadier-Ge-
neral 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.
It is due to the principal medical officers of the
several divisions, Doctors Alexander, Cruick-
shank, Forest Linton, and Humfrey, to report
that their able exertions have been strongly repre-
sented to me, and deserve to be most honourably
mentioned, and the arrangements of the Inspector-
General of Hospitals, Dr. Hall, for the care of the
wounded, merit the expression of my entire appro-
bation.
Lieutenant-Colonel Gambier, of the Royal Ar•
tillery, who had the command of the Artillery in
the trenches during the siege, a duty which he dis-
charged to my perfect satisfaction, was, I regret to
say, unfortunately wounded when moving up with
the two 18-pounders, which I had ordered to be
brought to the right of the 2d Division ; and I
have great pleasure in speaking in terms of high
panegyric of Liestenaut-Colonel Dickson, who
had charge of those guns, Captain D' Aguilar, and
the officers and men who worked them ; they per-
formed under Lieutenant-Colonel Dicksion's direc-
tions the most effective service, notwithstanding
that-they had a very heavy fire upon them, and that
their loss in consequence was very severe, seven-
teen men having been either killed or wounded,
and ono officer wounded.
I derived, as upon every other occasion, the most
able and effective assistance from the Adjutant
and Quartermaster-General, Brigadier-General
Escort, and Brigadier-General Airey, and their
Assistants, Major the Honourable W. Pakenham,
and Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable A. Gor-
don, and the officers of their departments ; and
from the Military Secretary, Lieutenant-Colonel
Steele, Lieutenant-Colonel Poulett Somerset, and
the officers of my personal Staff ; and I feel deeply
indebted to Lieutenant-General Sir John Bur-
goyne, for the constancy with which he applies
himself to the discharge of his arduous duties,
and the benefit I derive from his advice and
assistance, as well as to Captain Gordon,
Commanding Royal Engineer, Captain Chap-
man, and the officers of that corps; and to Major
Adye, the Honourable Captain Gage, and Cap-
tain Fortescue, the Staff Officers of the Royal
Artillery, to the command of which Li:tutenant-
Colonel Dacres has succeeded by the lamented
death of Brigadier-General Strangways, whose
Aide-de-Camp, Captain Gordon, I would also
bring to your Grace's notice.
I profit by this opportunity to render justice to
two officers whom I omitted to mention in my
Despatch of the 28WSeptember.
Tho one, Captain Maude, of the Royal Horse
Artillery, who has since been badly wounded, dis-
tinguished himself at the battle of the Alma, as I
myself observed ; the other, Captain W. Pitcairn
Campbell, became the Senior Officer of the 23d
Regiment, when Lieutenant-Colonel Chester was
killed, and, though severely wounded, could hardly
be persuaded to quit the field.—l have, &c.,

\VAR-OFFICE, DEc. 2.
The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., the
Secretary-at-War, has received no list of casualties
amongst the non-commissioned officers and privates
in the forces under the command of Field-Marshal
the Lord Raglan, G.C.8., at the Battle of Inker-
man ; and it appears that no such lists can be for-
warded to England untii after the next or following
mail, in consequence of the great difficulty existing
in obtaining complete and corrected lists from the
several regiments of the army in the Crimea.
