son, and Captain Forster, my Aaides-de• Camp ; and Cap-
tain Mansfield and Lieutenant D. M. Murray, Aide-de-
Camp and Extra Aide-de-Camp to the Chief of the Staff.
To the crew of her Majesty's ship Shannon, and to the
Royal and Bengal Artillery, my thanks are alike due ; bat
more particularly to Capt. Peel, C. 8., Royal Navy ; to
Brigadier Crawford, Royal Artillery ; and to Major
Turner, Bengal Horse Artillery. I cannot refrain from
again drawing your lordship's most marked attention to
ale very distinguished merits of the last-named (Major
Turner).
As is always the case in the three services, the batteries
and troops were raanceuvred with remarkable dexterity.
Captain Peel has brought to my favourableinotice Lieut.
ressed his obligations t'o his
Vaughan, Royal Navy, and I should much wish that this
recommendation may be known at the Admiralty • and
Capt. H. L. G. Bruce, Bengal Artillery,
viz., Captain Travers, Commanding
Brigadier Cra;Fford has ell'
Brigade Major,
and has mentioned with marked distinction all the officers
holding commands,
Royal Artiilery ; Captains Remmington and Blunt, Com-
manding Troops of Bengal Horse Artillery ; Captains
Middleton and Smith, Royai Artillery ; and Cap-
tain Bourchier, Bengal Artillery, Commanding Light
Field Batteries; Captain Lorgden, Royal Artillery,
Commanding a heavy battery ; and Lieutenant Bridge,
commanding two gates, Madrass Horse Artillery.
Major-General Dupuis, C. 8., Royal Artillery, command-
ing the artillery during the action, in consequence of his
accidental presence in camp, and I beg to thank him for
his exertions as well as those o f his staff, viz., Lieutenant-
Colonel Adye, C. 8., R.A., Assistant-Adjutant-General,
and Captain Greene R.A., Aide-de-Camp.
Colonel Harness,' Royal Engineers, was also present in
the same manner, and accompanied me throughout the
action.
General Grant has also brought to my notice the dis-
tinguished conduct of Brigadier Little, commanding the
cavalry, as also of Officers commanding corps in that
Brigade and its Staff Officers, viz.
Major Ouvry, 9th Lances ; Lieut. Watson, let Punjaub
Cavalry; Lieut. Probyn, 2d Punjaub Cavalry; Lieut.
Younghnsband, sth Punjaub Cavalry; Lieut. G. Gough,
Hodson's Horse; and Captain H. A. Sarel, Major of Bri-
gade.
During the pursuit of the 6th, and the operation of the
9th, the cavalry maintained that high character for dash
and erseverance, which have distinguished them since
they took the field, in the numerous engagements of their
long campaign.
I desire also to mention Major Payne, of the 53a Regi-
ment, whom I saw performing very valuable service dur-
ing the first advance on the 6th inst.
I must not allow this opportunity to pass without bear-
ing my testimony to the unwearied zeal and assiduity
of the Superintending Surgeon, Doctor J. C. Brown, Ben-
gal Artillery, which have never flagged for an instance,
and have been of the greatest use to the force in the field
from the troops first took the field before going to Delhi.
I beglto recommend him most particularly to your Lord-
ship's favourable consideration.
Annexed are returns of killed and wounded, and of
captured ordnance, as well as a sketch of the ground.
I have, &c.
C. CAMPBELL, General,
Commanding-in-Chief.
