GkN SIMPsos.-Ihe successor of Lord RaoIan
in the Grimea, is a PeninsaIar var veteran :
and has seen large service. In the Pecinsular
war, be was in the attack on Seville snd at the
n pf
Bras In 1915 He subsequently, as Major Gen.
erai served with distinction ih India under Sir
Charles Napier, and especially in the 'scinde
var, where he was second IN coa,mand In an
official dispatch, dated Marct. o, 1916, Sir
Charles compliments General Simpson for the
great services he had rendered. The British
Morning Post says Of him:
So Sir c. Napier considered him his best officer.
and he believed that Lord Ellenboroueh gben
Governor General, had the highea1 opinion Of
| him, and, in the event Of any accident happen-
ing to Sir Charles. would have charged General
simpson with the conduct of the war. The
high official position General Simpson has filled
since the present Government sent him to the
Grimea, had necessarily placed him in constant
communication with the French commander,
with whom We are confident he will maintain
the cordial relations that have existed without
intermission between the chiefs Of the expedition
ary forces"
