7th Hussars, who, at & critical moment, rallied a few m

which enabled them to hold the ground till reinforced.
In the Second Division, which, as I have already in-
formed 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 First Brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Daubeney,
55th, who succeeded to it on the former being wounded,
and was himself wounded afterwards ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Mauleverer, 30th, and Major Patullo, of the same regi-
ment, 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
Davies, when he was obliged to•leave the field.
Lieutenant-Colonel Carpenter, of the 41st, who was
mortally wounded, and succeeded in the command by
Major Eman ; Lieutenant-Colonel Hely, of the 47th, who
was obliged, when wounded, to . relinquish his command
to Major Farren ; Major Dalton, of the 49th, who fell at
the head of his corps, and was replaced by Major Grant ;
Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzmayer, commanding the batteries
of the Second Division, under the 'able directions of Cap-
tains- Pennycuick and Turner; Lieutenant-Colonel Wil-
braham, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Percy Herbert,
the Assistant-Adjutant, and Assistant-Quartermaster-
General, and Captain Thompson, 10th Hussars, and Cap-
tain Glazbrook, 49th Regiment, the Deputy-Assistant-
Adjutant, and Deputy-Assistant-Qnartermaster-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 De Lacy Evans, and a'
most promising officer, was unfortunately killed.
The Third Division was only partially engaged, but
having been actively employed in siege operations, Lieut.-
General Sir Richard England avails, himself of the oppor-
tunity to mention, in terms of high approbation, the Staff
Officers and officers in command of regiments, and has
drawn my attention to the services of Major Wood, As-
sistant Adjutant-General, the Hon.. Major Colborne, As-
sistant Quartermaster-General, Captain Wortley, Deputy-
Assistant Quartermaster-General, and Colonel Bell, of the
Royal Regiment; Colonel. Cobbe, of the 4th Regiment ;
Colonel the Hon. 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 Hon. A. Hope, of the 60th Regi-
ment, Captain Daniell, of the 38th,.Brigade-Majors ; and
Captain Edward Neville, Scots Fusilier Guards, his Aide-
de-Camp.
The superior officers of the Fourth Division, Lieut.-
General the Hon. Sir George Cathcart, and Brigadier-
General Goldie, have fallen, and' the survivor, Brigadier-
General Torrens, having been severely wounded, I take
upon myself to recommend the surviving officers of the
Staff, viz.: Colonel Wyndham, Assistant-Quartermaster-
General, and Captain Hugh Smith, 3rd Foot, Deputy-
Assistant Quartermaster-General;. Major Maitland, De-
puty-Assistant Adjutant-General, who is wounded; and
Captain Street, 57th Regiment, and Lieut. Torrens, 23rd
Regiment, brigade majors; and I may here express my
deep regret that Lieut.-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 re-
markable for his intelligence, gallantry, and zeal.
I would likewise beg to solicit your grace's attention to
the services of Colonel Horne, who commanded the 20th,
and came out of action the senior officer of the division;
Captain Inglis, commanding the 57th, and Lieut.-Colonel
Smyth, commanding the 68th Regiment, who was severely
wounded; and Captain Dallas,.commanding a detachment
of the 46th • of Lieut.-Colonel Ainslie, of the 21st, who
was wounded; of Lieut.-Colonel Swyny, who unfortuT
nately fell at the head of the 63rd, and was succeeded in
the command by Major the Hon. Robert Dalzell, and
Lieut.-Colonel. Horsford, of the Rifle Brigade; of Lieut.-
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. Lieut.-
Colonel Powell would, have commanded the 57th, but he
was on duty in the trenches.
The officers of the Light Division whose services 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 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 battery, and, though
desperately wounded, behaved with the utmost gallantry
and composure; Major Bunbury, of the 23rd, who replaced
him in command; Brevet-Major Mundy, commanding the
33rd; Lieutenant-Colonel Shirley, of the 88th, who was
employed in the trenches; Lieutenant-Colonel Jeffries,
commanding the portion of that regiment which was in
the field ; Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton, commanding the
77th • Majors Straton and Dixon, of the same regiment :
Lieutenant-Colonel Unett, of the 19th, ou duty in the
trenches ; Lieutenant-Colonel Lawrence and Captain
Ebrington, of the Rifle Brigade; and Captain Hopkins,
commanding a detachment of Royal Marines, which had
been brought up to replace a wing of the Rifle Brigade
that had been sent down to Balaklava, and fully main-
tained the reputation of that distinguished corps; Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Lake, of the Royal Horse Artillery, and
Captain Morris, commanding the battery attached to the
division ; Colonel Sullivan, Assistant-Adjutant-General ;
Lieutenant-Colonel Airey, Assistant-Quartermaster-Gene-
ral ; Captain Hallewell, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-
General; Captain Macdonnell and the other officers of the
Lieutenant-General's personal staff ; Lieutenant the Hon.
H. Campbell, Aide-de-Camp to Major General Codring-
ton; and Brigadier-General Buller's Aide-de-Camp,
Lieutenant the Hon. H. Clifford, whose conduct is repre-
sented 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, Drs. Alexander, Cruickshank, Forest Linton,
and Humfrey, to report that their able exertions have

. .
been strongly represented 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 appr
bation.

Lieutenant-Colonel Gambier, of the Royal Artillery

who had the command of the artillery in the trenches
during the siege a duty which he discharged 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 Second Divi-
sion ; and I have great pleasure in speaking in terms of
high panegyric of Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, who had charge
of those guns, Captain D'Aguilar,and the officers and men

the most effective service, notwith:
