injurious with the loss of limb, shall not be confined to the
amount attached by the scale to the rank which the -Of-
ficer held at the time when he was wounded, but shall pro-
gressively increase according to the rank to Which such Of•
ticer may, from time to time,be promoted ; the augtnentatiou,
with regard to the Pensions of such Officers nyW upon the
List, being to take date from the 18th of June, 1815,_ in-
clusive.

Secondly That every Subaltern Officer of Infantry of the
Line who served in the Battie of Waterloo, or in any of the
actions which immediately preceded it,• shall be allowed to
count two year's service in virtue of that victory, in reckoning
the services for increase of pay siren to Lieutenants of seven
years standing., and every such S..baltern will therefore be
entitled to the additional shilling a day, whenever be shall
have served five years as a Lieutenant.

Returns of the Subaltern Officers to 40111 these Orders may
be considered by his Grace to apply; together ;with-accurate
Muster containing the names of all the " Waterloo
Men" in each corps: such Muster Rolls being- to be pre-

st•rvcd in this Office as a record honoVrable to the ii►dividnals
themselves, and as • documents by which they will at any fu.
tore time be enabled to establish their claims to the benefits

of this regulation.

I hare great satisfaction in communicating these instances
of the Prince Regent's gracious consideration for the Army ;
and I request that you will be pleased to take the earliest op-
portunity of announcing the same to the Officers and Men of
the Corps under your command.

I have the honour to be, &c,
