c ommanding officers of regiments; but this dispatch is ne-
cessarily 'completed in the utanciat h4ste, and in the midst of
most important operations—l must,
.therefore, reserve to a
future oppo:tufilty the pleasing, task of bringing especially
and by name to the notice of Government the particular
merits of individual officers.
I cannot, however, refrain-froin expressing my deep sense
off:obligation to the-heads Of the two principal departments.
Major-General .Sir James LinnleY was unfortunately pre-
vented by 'seveeLsiekness from taking part in the active
duties of this gi'erisis. Major Grant, Deputy-Adjutant-
General, therefore, supplied his place, and it is my duty to
say how ablV this hats been done, acid how great a loss I
have endured by being deprived, for the present, of his ser-
vices, in consequenee of two wounds which he received
Whilst urging on the infantry to the final and decisive attack
of the enemy's batteries. Neither must I fail to record the
valuable aid which has upon this, as on a former campaign,
been afforded me, by the Quarter-Master General, Lieute-
nant-Colonel Garden; his departmental arrangements de-
mand my highest commendation. Major-General Sir Harry
Smith having been appoiated to the command of a division,
the charge of his office as Adjutant-General of her Majesty's
Forces devolved upon .Lieutenant Colonel Barr, who, not only
in the performance of these duties, but in every way in
which assistance can be renchred in active operations, has
been to me a most valuable staff officer.
I have to thank you, Eight Honourable sir, for having
placed at my disposal the services of the officers of your stall;
and to *sank them for the valuable assistance they afforded
me,on this arduous day. It shall be my pleasing duty to
Inentionliaem individually, with the officers of my own per-
sonal stile; in the recommendation list I shall have the honour
of forwarding, at an early date, to Government.—I have, Szc.,
