About 11 o'clock a.m. there was a rumour that the enemy's cavalry were coming down on his post. Lieutenant Hills proceeded to take up the position assigned in case of alarm, but, before he reached the spot, he saw the enemy close upon his guns before they had time to form up. To enable him to do this he boldly charged, single handed, the head of the enemy's column, cut down the first man, struck the second, and was then ridden down, horse and all. On getting up and searching for his sword, three more men came at him (two mounted); the first man he wounded with his pistol; he caught the lance of the second in his left hand, and wounded him with his sword; the first man then came on again, and was cut down; the third man (on foot) then came up, and wrenched the sword from Lieutenant Hills, who fell in the struggle, and the enemy was about to cut him down when Major Tombs, who had gone up to visit his two guns, saw what was going on, rushed in and shot the man and saved Lieutenant Hills. By this time the enemy's cavalry had passed by, and Major Tombs and Lieutenant Hills went to look after the wounded men, when one of the enemy passed with Lieutenant Hills' pistol; he first cut at Lieutenant Hills who parried the blow, and he then turned on Major Tombs, who received the blow in the same manner. His second attack on the Lieutenant was more successful, as he was cut down with a bad sword-cut on the head, and would have been, no doubt, killed, had not Major Tombs rushed in and put his sword through the man."--Extract from Despatch of Lt.Colonel M. Mackenzie, Commanding 1st Brigade of Horse Artillery, dated Camp near Delhi, 10th July 1857, and pubLished in the Supplement of the London Gazette of 15th January 1858.

HOME, Surgeon ANTHONY DICKSON, 90th Light Infantry (now Surgeon General Sir, KCB.)-For persevering bravery and admirable conduct in charge of the wounded men left behind the column, when the troops under the late Major General Havelock forced their way into the Residency of Lucknow, on the 26th September 1857. The escort left with the wounded had, by casualties, been reduced to a few stragglers, and being entirely separated from the column, this small party with the wounded were forced into a house, in which they defended themselves till it was set on fire. They then retreated to a shed a few yards from it, and in this place continued to defend themselves for more than twenty-two hours, till relieved. At last, only six men and Mr. Home remained to fire. Of four officers who were with the party, all were badly wounded, and three are since dead. The conduct of the defence during the latter part of the time devolved therefore on Mr. Home, and to his active exertions previously to being forced into the house, and his good conduct throughout, the safety of any of the wounded, and the successful defence is mainly to be attributed.

INNES, Lieutenant JOHN JAMES M'LEOD, Royal Engineers (now Colonel).-Date of act of bravery, 23rd February 1858. At the action at Sultanpore, Lieutenant Innes, far in advance of the leading skirmishers, was the first to secure a gun which the enemy were abandoning. Retiring from this, they rallied round another gun further back, from which the shot would, in another instant, have ploughed through our advancing columns, when Lieutenant Innes rode up, unsupported, shot the gunner who was about to apply the match, and, remaining undaunted at his post, the mark for a hundred matchlock men, who were sheltered in some adjoining huts, kept the artillerymen at bay, until assistance reached him.-Letter from Major General Thomas Harte Franks, KCB, of 12th March 1858.

JARRETT, Lieutenant HANSON CHAMBERS TAYLOR, 26th Bengal Native Infantry (now Lt. Colonel Bengal Staff Corps).For an act of daring bravery at the village of Baroun, on the 14th October 1858, on an occasion when about seventy sepoys were defending themselves in a brick building, the only approach to which was up a very narrow street, in having called on the men of his regiment to follow him, when, backed by only some four men, he made a dash at the narrow entrance, where, though a shower of balls was poured upon him, he pushed his way up to the wall of the house, and, beating up the bayonets of the rebels with his sword, endeavoured to get in.

JEE, Surgeon JOSEPH, 78th Highlanders (now retired Deputy Inspector General, CB.).-For most conspicuous gallantry and important services, on the entry of the late Major General Havelock's relieving force into Lucknow on the 25th September 1857, in having during action (when the 78th Highlanders, then in possession of the Char Bagh, captured two 9-pounders at the point of the bayonet), by great exertion and devoted exposure, attended t the large number of men wounded in the charge, whom he succeeded in getting removed on cots and on the backs of their comrades, until he had collected the dooly bearers who had fled. Subsequently, on the same day, endeavouring to reach the Residency with the wounded men, Surgeon Jee became besieged by an overwhelming force in the Mote-Mehal, where he remained during the whole night and following morning, voluntarily and repeatedly exposing himself to a heavy fire in proceeding to dress the wounded men who fell while serving a 24-pounder in a most exposed situation. He eventually succeeded in taking many of the wounded, through a cross fire of ordnance and musketry, safely into the Residency, by the river-bank, although repeatedly warned not to make the perilous attempt.

JEROME, Lieutenant HENRY EDWARD, 86th Regiment (now Colonel, half pay 62nd Regt.).-For conspicuous gallantry at Jhansi, on the 3rd April 1858, in having, with the assistance of Private Byrne, removed, under a very heavy fire, Lieutenant Sewell, of the 86th Regiment, who was severely wounded, at a very exposed point of the attack upon the fort; also, for gallant conduct at the capture of the Fort of Chandairee, the storming of Jhansi, and in action with a superior rebel force on the Jumua, on the 28th May 1858, when he was severely wounded.

Lieutenant Jones, of the 9th Lancers, with his squadron, captured one of their guns. killing the drivers, and, with Lieutenant Colonel Yule's assistance, turned it upon a village occupied by the rebels, who were quickly dislodged. This was a well-conceived act, gallantly executed."-Despatch from Major General Sir James Hope Grant, KCB. dated 10th January 1857.

KEATINGE, Captain RICHARD HARTE, Bombay Artillery (now Colonel, CSI., Bombay Staff Corps).-Date of act of bravery, 17th March 1858. For having rendered most efficient aid at the assault of Chudairee, in voluntarily leading the column through the breach, which was protected by a heavy cross fire. He was one of the foremost to enter, and was severely wounded in the breach. The Column was saved from a serious loss that would probably have resulted but for Captain Keatinge's knowledge of the small path leading across the ditch, which had been examined during the night by himself and a servant, who declined, when required, to lead the Column, without his master. Having cleared the breach, he led into the fort, where he was struck down by another dangerous wound. The Commander in Chief in India states that the success at Chundairee was mainly owing to this Officer, whose gallantry, really brilliant, he considers was equalled by his ability and devotion. Cap. tain Keatinge was at the time a Political Officer with the 2nd Brigade of the Central India Field Force.

KNOX, Ensign JOHN SIMPSON, Rifle Brigade (now retired Major).-When serving as a Sergeant in the Scots Fusilier Guards was conspicuous for his exertions in reforming the ranks of the Guards at the battle of the Alma Subsequently, when in the Rifle Brigade, he volunteered for the Ladder Party in the attack on the Redan, on the 18th June 1855, and (in the words of Captain Blackett, under whose command he was), behaved admirably, remaining on the field until twice wounded.

Colonel).-For having, in action with the Shinwarris, near Maidanah, Afghanistan, on the 17th March 1879, when covering the retirement of the Survey Escort who were carrying Lieutenant Barclay, 45th Sikhs, mortally wounded, behaved with the utmost gallantry in charging, with some men of the 45th Sikhs, a very much larger number of the enemy. In this encounter Captain Leach killed two or three of the enemy himself, and he received a severe wound from an Afghan knife in the left arm. Captain Leach's determination and gallantry in this affair, in attacking and driving back the enemy from the last position, saved the whole party from annihilation.

LEET, Major WILLIAM, 13th Regiment-now Lieutenant Colonel Somersetshire Light Infantry (13 F.).—For his gallant conduct on the 28th March 1879, in rescuing from the Zulus Lieutenant A. M. Smith, of the Frontier Light Horse, during the retreat from the Inhlobana. Lieutenant Smith, while on foot, his horse having been shot, was closely pursued by the Zulus, and would have been killed had not Major Lect taken him upon his horse, and rode with him, under the fire of the enemy, to a place of safety.

LENNOX, Lieutenant WILBRAHAM OATES, Royal Engineers (now Major General, CB.).--Cool and gallant conduct in establishing a lodgment in Tryon's Rifle Pit (Sebastopol), and assisting to repel the assaults of the enemy. This brilliant operation drew forth a special order from General Canrobert.

LOYD-LINDSAY, Lieutenant ROBERT JAMES, Scots Fusilier Guards (now retired Lieutenant Colonel Sir, KCB) – When the formation of the line of the regiment was disordered at the Alma, Captain Lindsay stood firm with the

Colours, and by his example and energy greatly tended to restore order. At Inkerman, at a most trying moment, he, with a few men, charged a party of Russians, driving them back, and running one through the body himself. Lysoxs, Lieutenant HENRY, Scottish Rifles; Private EDMOND FOWLER, Scottish Rifles (since discharged).-On the 28th March 1879, during the assault of the Inhlobane Mountain, Sir Evelyn Wood ordered the dislodginent of certain Zulus (who were causing the troops much loss) from strong natural caves commanding the position in which some of the wounded were lying. Some delay occurring in the execution of the orders issued, Captain the Honourable Ronald Campbell, Coldstream Guards, followed by Lieutenant Lysons, Aide-de-Camp, and Private Fowler, ran forward in the most determined manner, and advanced over a mass of fallen boulders, and between walls of rock, which led to a cave in which the enemy lay hidden. It being impossible for two men to walk abreast, the assailants were consequently obliged to keep in single file, and as Captain Campbell was leading, he arrived first at the mouth of the cave, from which the Zulus were firing, and there met his death; Lieutenant Lysons and Private Fowler, who were following close behind him, immediately dashed at the cave, from which led several subterranean passages, and firing into the chasm below, succeeded in forcing the occupants to forsake their stronghold. Lieutenant Lysons remained at the cave's mouth for some minutes after the attack, during which time Captain Campbell's body was carried down the slopes. LYSTER, Lieutenant HARRY HAMMON, 72nd Bengal Native Infantry (now Colonel, CB. Bengal Staff Corps).-Date of act of bravery, 23rd May 1858. For gallantly charging and breaking, singly, a skirmishing square of the retreating rebel army from Calpee, and killing two or three sepoys in the conflict.

On the lashing being cut the boat obeyed the helm, and thus thirty-five European soldiers escaped M'NEILL, Lieutenant Colonel JOHN CARSTAIRS, 107th Regiment (now Major General Sir, KCB. KCMG.).—For the valour and presence of mind which he displayed in New Zealand, on the 30th March 1864, which is thus described by Private Vosper, of the Colonial Defence Force. Private Vosper states that he was sent on that day with Private Gibson, of the same force, as an escort to Lieutenant Colonel M'Neill, Aide de Camp to Lieutenant General Sir Duncan Cameron. Lieutenant Colonel M'Neill was proceeding to Te Awamutu on duty at the time. On returning from that place, and about a mile on this side of Ohanpu, this Officer, having seen a body of the enemy in front, sent Private Gibson back to bring up infantry from Ohanpu, and he and Private Vosper proceeded leisurely to the top of a rise to watch the enemy. Suddenly they were attacked by about 50 natives, who were concealed in the fern close at hand. Their only chance of escape was by riding for their lives, and as they turned to gallop, Private Vosper's horse fell and threw him. The natives thereupon rushed forward to seize him, but Lieutenant Colonel M'Neill, on perceiving Private Vosper was not following him, returned, caught his horse, and helped him to mount. The natives were firing sharply at them, and were so near that, according to Private Vosper's statement, it was only by galloping as hard as they could that they escaped. He says that he owes his life entirely to Lt.Colonel M'Neill's assistance, for he could not have caught his horse alone, and in a few moments must have been killed. MACDONALD, Colour Sergeant HENRY, Royal Engineers (now Quarter Master on half pay and Honorary Captain.)For gallant conduct, on the 19th April 1855, when engaged in effecting a lodgment in the enemy's Rifle Pits in front of the Left Advance of the Right Attack on Sebastopol, and for subsequent valour when, by the Engineer Officers being disabled from wounds, the command devolved upon him, and he determinately persisted in carrying on the sup, notwithstanding the repeated attacks of the enemy.

MACINTYRE, Major DONALD, Bengal Staff Corps (now retired Colonel).-Recommended for his gallant conduct at the storming of the stockaded village of Lalgnoora on the 4th January 1872. Colonel Macpherson, CB., YC. commanding the 2nd Goorkha Regiment, in which Major Macintyre was serving at the time as second in command, reports that this Officer, who led the assault, was the first to reach the stockade (on this side from 8 to 9 feet high); and that to climb over and disappear among the flames and smoke of the burning village was the work of a very short time. The stockade, he adds, was successfully stormed by this Officer under fire, the heaviest the Looshais delivered that day.

MACPHERSON, Lieutenant HERBERT TAYLOR, 78th Highlanders (now Major General Sir, KCB. KSCI. Bengal Staff Corps). For distinguished conduct at Lucknow, on the 25th September 1857, in setting an example of heroic gallantry to the men of the Regiment, at the period of the action in which they captured two brass 9-pounders at the point of the bayonet.-Extract from Field Force Orders of the late Major General Havelock, dated 17th October 1857.

The Force fell into an ambuscade on the night of the 29th July 1857, and during the retreat on the next morning, Mr. Mangles, with signal gallantry and generous self-devotion, and notwithstanding that he had himself been previously wounded, carried for several miles, out of action, a wounded soldier of Her Majesty's 37th Regiment, after binding up his wounds under a murderous fire, which killed or woanded almost the whole detachment; and he bore him in safety to the boats.

MANLEY, Assistant Surgeon WILLIAM GEORGE NICHOLAS, Royal Artillery (now Deputy Surgeon General).-For his conduct during the assault on the Rebel Pah, near Tauranga, New Zealand, on the 29th April 1864, in most nobly risking his own life, according to the testimony of Commodore Sir William Wiseman, Bart., CB., in his endeavour to save that of the late Commander Hay, of the Royal Navy, and others. Having volunteered to accompany the storming party into the Pah, he attended on that Officer when he was carried away mortally wounded, and then volunteered to return, in order to see if he could find any more wounded. It is stated that he was one of the last Officers to leave the Pah.

MAUDE, Captain FRANCIS CORNWALLIS, Royal Artillery (now retired Colonel, CB.).-This Officer steadily and cheerily pushed on with his men, and bore down the desperate opposition of the enemy, though with the loss of cne-third of his artillerymen. Sir James Outram adds, that this attack appeared to him to indicate no reckless or foolhardy daring, but the calm heroism of a true soldier, who fully appreciates the difficulties and dangers of the task he has undertaken; and that, but for Captain Maude's nerve and coolness on this trying occasion, the army could not have advanced.-Extract from Field Force Orders of the late Major General Havelock, dated 17th October 1857. MAUDE, Major FREDERICK FRANCIS, 3rd Regiment "The Buffs," (now Lt.

MOORE, Lieut, and Adjutant ARTHUR THOMAS, 3rd Bombay Light Cavalry (now Colonel Bombay Staff Corps).—On the occasion of an attack on the enemy on the 8th February 1857, led by Lieutenant Colonel Forbes, CB., Lieutenant Moore, the Adjutant of the regiment, was, perhaps, the first of all by a horse's length. His horse leaped into the kare, and instantly fell dead, crushing down his rider, and breaking his sword as he fell amid the broken ranks the enemy. Lieutenant Moore speedily extricated himself, and attempted with his broken sword to force his way hrough the press; but he would assuredly have lost his life had not the gallant young Lieutenant Malcolmson, Eserving his peril, fought his way to his dismounted comrade through a crowd of enemies to his rescue, and, giving .m his stirrup, safely carried him through everything out of the throng. The thoughtfulness for others, cool termination, devoted courage and ready activity shown in extreme danger by this young Officer, Lieutenant alcolmson, appear to have been most admirable, and to be worthy of the highest honour.

The wounded were thus in very great danger, and would have fallen into the hands of the enemy, had not Surgeon Reade drawn his sword, and calling upon the few soldiers who were near to follow, succeeded, under a very heavy fire, in dislodging the rebels from their position. Surgeon Reade's party consisted of about ten in all, of whom two were killed and five or six wounded.

The nature of the ground made any sort of regular formation impossible, and Captain Sartorius had to bear the first brunt of the attack from the whole body of the enemy, who fell upon him and his men as they gained the top of the precipitous pathway; but the gallant and determined bearing of this officer, emulated as it was by his men, led to the most perfect success, and the surviving occupants of the hill top, seven in number, were all killed.
