WILLOW GRANGE, November 23, 1899.

From Major General Hildyard's report, November 24, 1899: -

Staff-Major Munro, Brigade Major, and Lieutenant Blair, ADC, were of good value to me.

West Yorkshire Regiment (2nd Battalion)-Colonel Kitchener led the assaulting force with energy and judgment, and all ranks behaved admirably. Major Hobbs was taken prisoner owing to his remaining too long attending to the wounded; he led the first line of the assault with judgment and good sense. The services of Lieutenant Nicholson have been specially brought to my notice for attention to duty and the situation when others were inclined to deal with matters of less importance; I recommend him for special reward. I also recommend Private Montgomery for a Distinguished Conduct medal; after being wounded in one leg he continued fighting in the firing line until again wounded.

Bearer Company-Major Ricketts commanded, and did good service both at the time and in connection with the removal of the wounded.

Guide-The services of Mr Chapman, who was so unfortunately killed, were of the greatest value; his intimate knowledge of the ground alone made it possible to carry out the operation. I sincerely trust it may be found possible to bestow on his widow some mark of recognition of his distinguished service.

BELMONT, November 23, 1899.

From Lieutenant General Methuen's despatch, November 26, 1899: -

Staff Major General Sir H Colvile has already gained my entire confidence; nothing is ever likely to shake his coolness. Captain Bulfin, brigade major, on whose shoulders great responsibility rested, did admirable work.

Scots Guards (1st Battalion-The greatest credit is due to Colonel Paget for the manner in which he carried cut his orders, and for the intelligent handling of his battalion when left to his own resources. I note with pleasure the valuable services rendered by Lieutenant-Colonel Pulteney, and the courage displayed by Lieutenant Bulkeley and by Lieutenant Alexander (General Colville says, "Both insisted on going on after they were wounded"). The 9th Brigade had taken a correct bearing, Lieutenant Festing leading, a duty he performed admirably, and I regret he was wounded.

Yorkshire Light Infantry-Major Earle's leading, knowledge, and coolness were most noticeable.

Royal Army Medical Corps-By 10.30 my division was in camp, by 1 all my wounded were in a comfortable house being carefully tended, by 5 p.m. next day the hospital train conveyed the less severe cases to Orange River, the graver cases to Cape Town. This is the most perfect work I have ever heard of in war, and reflects the highest credit on Colonel Townsend.

From Major General Sir H Colvile's report:-

Staff Captain G Nugent, ADU, and my Brigade Major, Captain Ruggles-Brise; the latter was entrusted with leading the two battalions to Gun Hill, a task in which he was handicapped by never having seen the ground by daylight.

Grenadier Guards (3rd Battalion-Daring the assault on Gun Hill, Lieutenant and Adjutant Fryer, who was leading the men with extraordinary gallantry, was killed. Lieutenant Colonel Crabbe was also leading with great gallantry. 2nd Lieutenant Powell's leading was very noticeable.

Coldstream Guards (1st Battalion)-Lieutenant Colonel Codrington's battalion was well and correctly handled. Colonel Codrington draws particular attention to the skilful handling of his company by Captain Fielding, the coolness displayed by Lieutenant the Honourable Ot Douglas-Pennant, and the complete control exercised over his company by 2nd Lieutenant Price Jones. 2nd Battalion-Lieutenant Colonel Stopford's battalion had less severe work than the others, but I consider its advance under fire was distinctly well performed. Colonel Stopford particularly calls attention to the services of Major the Honourable A Henniker-Major and Captain Shute.

ENSLIN, November 25, 1899.

From Lieutenant Colonel Money's report, November 26, 1899:-

Staff-Captain Bulfin and Lieutenant Taylor rendered me great assistance, and were near me at the final assault.

Yorkshire Light Infantry-Sergeant Waterhouse at a critical moment acted with great coolness, and shot down one of the enemy's sharpshooters, who had been doing great execution to our men advancing at a range of 1,150 yards.

MODDER RIVER, November 28th, 1899.

From Lord Methuen's despatch, December 1, 1899:

Staff Lieutenant Colonel Northcott, who never left me, fell mortally wounded. The Army has lost one of the ablest officers in the Service, and I cannot express the grief his death has caused me. I personally bring to notice the value of Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes's service and Major Streatfield's service in sending forward reinforcements to Major General Pole-Carew, for on this movement the result of the evening's success depended. Captain Bulfin, Yorkshire Regiment, did his duty admirably. The valuable services of Captain Nugent, ADC, and Captain Ruggles-Brise are again noted.

Royal Artillery-Major Lindsay, 75th Battery, ignored a painful wound, and continued in command of his battery. Lieutenant Begbie, suddenly placed in command of his battery, led it, and brought it into action with great coolness. Captain Farrell, wounded a second time, continued to do his duty, having first placed a wounded man on one of the gun carriages. Wounded gunners and drivers continued at their duty. Lieutenant Rockford Boyd, on this, as on former occasions, showed himself reliable and capable of acting without orders.

Grenadier Guards (3rd Battalion)-Major Count Gleichen, CMG, showed coolness throughout the engagement, especially in attending to the wounded under a heavy fire. Sergeant Brown and Private Martin, who helped him, were both shot. Captain H Bathurst, was of great value in rallying a number of Grenadiers and Coldstreams shaken by the fire. Lieutenant the Honourable A Russell showed great coolness in working the machine gun, which he did with marked success. Sergeant Major Cooke displayed remarkable coolness under fire.

Coldstream Guards-Major Granville Smith volunteered to find a ford, which he did in dangerous mud and a strong river. Captain and Adjutant Steele did excellent service during the day. Sergeant Major S Wright showed great coolness when a change of ammunition carts was being made, and was of great value at a critical time. Drill and Colour Sergeant Price rendered excellent service at Belmont and Modder River, whilst commanding half a company. Drill and Colour Sergeant Plunkett collected 150 men, and helped the 9th Brigade crossing the river under Captain Lord Newtown Butler. Lance Corporal Webb twice asked leave to go into the open to bind up the wounds of a Grenadier; under a heavy fire he succeeded in his object.

Scots Guards (1st Battalion)-I call special attention to Colonel Paget's cheerfulness and intelligence under the most trying surroundings. He draws attention to the good services of the Master of RuthVen.

Northumberland Fusiliers-Major the Honourable C Lambton rendered invaluable assistance to brigadier. Lieutenant Percival managed with great difficulty to establish himself with a small party on a point near railway, from which, by his judgment and coolness, he was able to keep down fire of enemy, many of his small party being killed. Lance Corporal R Delaney, Privates J East, Segar, and Snowdon, under very heavy fire picked up and brought in a wounded man of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Private Smarley, No. 1 of Maxim detachment, showed great coolness and judgment when wounded.

Yorkshire Light Infantry-Lieutenant Colonel Barter rendered invaluable assistance to brigadier.

Royal Army Medical Corps-Captain Moores, although wounded in hand, said nothing, but continued his duties.

MAGERSFONTEIN, December 1O, 11, 1899

From Lord Methuen's despatch, February 15, 1900.

Staff I have to express my appreciation of the clear orders given out, and the careful arrangements made by Colonel Douglas, ADC, my chief staff officer, for the attack. Major General Sir H Colvile showed coolness and judgment throughout two trying days. The same remark applies to Major General Babington. Lieutenant Cuthbert, Scots Guards, my extra ADU, showed considerable coolness in taking a message from me to the Gordon Highlanders; a volley was fired at him, killing his horse; he took off wallets and saddle and returned, let-tang me learn from others how he had behaved. Major Maberley, RHA, acting galloper to Major General Babington, after rallying 30 or 40 men of different regiments, was severely wounded. Captain Ruggles-Brise, brigade-major, and the ADC; of Sir H Colvile's staff, again earn honourable mention, not only in delivering orders, but also for their clear and accurate description of the position.

9th Lancers-Major Little, in the firing line, did good work all day. Lieutenant Allhusen did good work with Maxims.

12th Lancers-Lieutenant Colonel the Earl of Airlie did excellent work with two dismounted squadrons, when good service was much needed. Lieutenant Macnaghten did good work with Maxims.

Mounted Infantry-Major Milton, commanding, behaved gallantly, and was shot three times before he died; he was making a successful effort to rally some men of the Highland Brigade.

Royal Artillery-I again recognise the business-like manner in which Lieutenant Colonel Hall, commanding RA, carries out his duties in the field. Major Bannatine Allason performed splendid work, and assisted greatly in checking enemy on right of our attack.

Coldstream Guards-Lieutenant Colonel Codrington, commanding, though wounded, insisted on remaining in command of his battalion till nightfall. Major the Honourable W Lambton refused to be carried because the bearers were exposed to fire. He remained on the ground 37 hours without food or water. Major the Marquis of Winchester was killed whilst displaying almost reckless courage. Sergeant Wilkinson, 2nd Battalion, showed courage in collecting ammunition. Corporal Bartlet, 2nd Battalion, under a very heavy fire went 1,000 yards to get a stretcher for Major Milton. Corporal Webb, 2nd Battalion, showed great courage in taking messages.

Scots Guards-Captain the Master of Ruthven performed, as on several other occasions, valuable services.

Royal Highlanders-Corporal Gayner, rallying men, and by his example encouraging his comrades.

Highland Light Infantry-Majors Garland and Honourable H Anson performed good service throughout the day. Captains Richardson and Wolfe Murray were wounded, but remained in the front with their companies. Captain and Adjutant Cowan, DSO, gallantly led and rallied has men, and was killed at close quarters. Sergeant Major Stevens rallied men. Sergeant McDonald's gallant behaviour specially brought to notice for carrying messages to guns and to medical officer under heavy fire. Lance Corporal Fraser, Sergeant Piper Boss, and Piper McLelIan specially brought to notice for their cheery conduct under fire and helping to rally men. Captain Shaul brought to notice for several specific cases of bravery when in charge of stretcher bearers of battalion. Privates Peat, Richmond, and Stewart did excellent service and set a good example to their comrades.

Seaforth Highlanders-Captain Honourable Forbes Sempill rallied and led his men straight up to the front in a conspicuous and gallant manner. Lieutenant Grant did good service, taking messages to the front from Colonel Hughes-Hallett under a heavy fire. Lieutenant Lindsay, very gallant and conspicuous behaviour when in charge of Maxim gun. Band-Sergeant Hoare, conspicuous for his coolness and gallantry during the day in helping Dr Ensor to succour wounded; personally carried Captain Fetherstonhaugh (wounded) on his back some 800 yards to dressing station.

Gordon Highlanders-Captain K B Towse recommended for special reward by his commanding officer for his gallantry and devotion in assisting the late Colonel Downman when mortally wounded in the retirement, and when close up to the front of the firing line; he endeavoured to carry Colonel Downman on his back, but finding this not possible supported him till joined by Colour Sergeant Nelson and Lance Corporal Hodgson; the conduct of these non-commissioned officers is described as admirable.

Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders-Captain A Campbell displayed great coolness throughout the day, and helped to dress the wounds of Captain Gordon under a hot fire. Lance Corporal Ray and Private Phipps specially mentioned by Major General Babington as having helped him to rally men and take them into the firing line. Private Johnson helped to remove a wounded Highlander from the front under a heavy fire.

Royal Army Medical Corps-Major O'Donnell and Lieutenant Delap were indefatigable in attending wounded under fire. Lieutenant Douglas showed great gallantry and devotion, under a very severe fire, in advancing in the open and attending to Captain Gordon, Gordon Highlanders, who was wounded; also attending to Major Robinson and other wounded men under a fearful fire.

Cape Medical Corps-Private A Bettington, Cape Mounted Rifles (attached) helped to remove a wounded Highlander from the front under a heavy fire.

STORMBERG, December 10, 1899.

Lieutenant General Gatacre in his report, January 19, 1900, brings the following to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief: -

Royal Field Artillery-Major E M Perceval, 77th Battery, though severely wounded, continued to command his battery till the end of the day.

Northumberland Fusiliers (2nd Battalion)-2nd Lieutenant Duncombe-Shafto, Band-Sergeant J Stone, Colour Sergeant A Landen, Private G Benson.

COLENSO, December 15, 1899.

In a despatch from Chieveley, December 16, General Buller brings the following cases of distinguished services in the field to notice:-

At Colenso, on December 15, the detachments serving the guns of the 14th and 66th Batteries RFA had all been either killed, wounded, or driven from their guns by infantry fire at close range, and the guns were deserted. About 500 yards behind the guns was a donga, in which some of the few horses and drivers left alive were sheltered. The intervening space was swept by shell and rifle fire. Captain Congreve, Rifle Brigade, who was in the donga, assisted to hook a team into a limber, went out and assisted to limber up a gun; being wounded he took shelter, but seeing Lieutenant Roberts fall badly wounded he went out again and brought him in. Some idea of the nature of the fire may be gathered from the fact that Captain Congreve was shot through the leg, through the toe of his boot, grazed on the elbow and shoulder, and his horse shot in three places. Lieutenant Honourable F Roberts) King's Royal Rifles, assisted Captain Congreve; he was wounded in three places. Corporal Nurse, RFA, 66th Battery, also assisted. I recommend the above three for the Victoria Cross.

Drivers H Taylor, Young, Petts, Rockall, Lucas, and Williams, all of the 66th Battery RFA, rode the teams; each team brought in a gun. I recommend all six for the medal for Distinguished Conduct in the Field.

Shortly afterwards Captain H L Reed, 7th Battery RFA, who had heard of the difficulty, brought down three teams from his battery to see if he could be of any use. He was wounded, as were five of the thirteen men who rode with him; one was killed, his body was found on the field, and 13 out of 21 horses were killed before he got half-way to the guns, and he was obliged to retire. I recommend Captain Reed for the Victoria Cross.

Non-commissioned officers and men, 7th Battery RFA, recommended for medal for Distinguished Service in the Field: Corporals A Clark (wounded), B J Money, Acting-Bombardier J H Reeve; Drivers C J Woodward, W Robertson (wounded). W Wright (wounded). A C Hawking, J P Lennox, A Nugent (killed), J Warden, A Felton (wounded), T Musgrove, Trumpeter W W Ayles (wounded).

I have differentiated in my recommendations, because I thought that a recommendation for the Victoria Cross required proof of initiative, something more, in fact, than mere obedience to orders, and for this reason I have not recommended Captain Schofield, RA, who was acting under orders, though I desire to record his conduct as most gallant.

From General Buller's despatch, December 17, 1899: -

Royal Field Artillery-2nd Lieutenant Holford, 14th Battery, displayed particular gallantry.

Devon Regiment (2nd Battalion)-Colonel Bullock behaved with great gallantry; he did not receive the orders to retire; his party defended themselves and the wounded of the two batteries till nightfall, inflicting considerable loss on enemy, and it was only when surrounded that he consented to surrender, because enemy said they would shoot the wounded if he did not.

COLESBERG, December 15, 1899, to January 25, 1900

From Lieutenant -General French's despatch, February 2: -

Staff-Major Generals J P Brabazon, CB, and B A P Clements, DSO, have rendered me much assistance, and I am anxious to acknowledge their valuable services. Colonel T E Stephenson, Essex Regiment, has, on several occasions, rendered me valuable assistance; his leading of the infantry brigade during the reconnaissance in force on January 25 was excellent. Major D Haig, 7th Hussars, Acting AAG and CSO, has shown throughout the same zeal, untiring energy, and consummate ability as have characterised his conduct and bearing since the very commencement of the campaign (in Natal), during the whole of which time he has acted in this capacity; I have had occasion to speak of him in a similar sense in former despatches. Captain J Vaughan, 7th Hussars, my senior ADC, has acted for the past two months as DAAG, and has done excellent service in that capacity. Major G O Welch and Captain T D Foster, ASC, DAAG's, have shown untiring zeal and energy in supervising the transport and supply services, which, in a force operating as this has been, on a very wide front, and often many miles from a railway, has been an arduous and difficult task. I am much indebted to Major Honourable H A Lawrence, 17th Lancers, for the great assistance he has. rendered me in having established such an excellent system of intelligence; his good work has been attended with the best results. Captain P A Kenna, VC, 21st Lancers, provost-marshal, has performed his duties with zeal and energy: he has on more than one occasion shown an excellent example of bravery by going personally to the assistance of wounded men. Lieutenant S L Barry, 10th Hussars, divisional signalling officer, has performed excellent service. Lieutenant Sir J Milbanke, Baronet, 10th Hussars (wounded), and Captain J F Laycock, Nottingham Yeomanry, my ADC's, have displayed the same marked zeal, energy, and conspicuous courage as I have commented upon in former despatches.

1st Life Guards-Major G Carter has at various times shown considerable skill and resolution as squadron commander in the field, and has done valuable service.

2nd Life Guards-Lieutenant C Champion-de Crespigny, when in command of a patrol on January 19, showed great gallantry, and an excellent example to his men, in bringing wounded men out of action.

6th Dragoon Guards-Colonel T C Porter has frequently been employed as a brigadier and in command of advanced posts; he has always carried out the tasks allotted to him with much skill, zeal, and indefatigable energy. Major F S Garratt has at various times shown considerable skill and resolution as squadron commander in the field, and has done valuable service.

6th Dragoons-Major E H H Allenby has at various times shown considerable skill and resolution as squadron commander in the field, and has done valuable service. Major M F Bimington, employed in command of a Corps of Guides, has rendered me much assistance since he has been attached to this command.

Royal Horse Artillery-Lieutenant Colonel F J W Eustace, officer commanding BA, Cavalry Division, has displayed conspicuous skill and sound judgment in his handling of the artillery, which has played so important a part throughout these operations; he has been of the greatest help to me, and indefatigable when the most severe strain was thrown upon him and his command. He has received much help from his adjutant, Captain A D'A King, who is deserving of great commendation. Majors Sir J H Jervis-White-Jervis, Baronet, and B Burton deserve the highest credit for the manner in which they have worked their batteries throughout these operations; in face, very often, of a most galling fire from the enemy's well-concealed and protected artillery positions, they have uniformly maintained an excellent practice with most telling effect on the enemy. Lieutenants E F Talbot-Ponsonby, J W F Lamont, J B Aldridge, and W G Thompson (wounded and a prisoner), deserve mention for signal services they have performed with their guns.

Royal Field Artillery-Major A E A Butcher, who joined with his battery of field artillery soon after the bombardment of Colesberg was commenced, with great energy and perseverance succeeded in placing two field guns on the top of a steep hill called Coles Kop, 800 ft high, and from this commanding position has inflicted great damage and loss on the enemy.

Royal Engineers-Brevet Major A G Hunter-Weston has commanded the field equipment, RE, attached to the Cavalry Division, and has acted as CBE to this force. I am much indebted to him for many services performed, not the least of which has consisted in his maintaining a perfect system of telegraphic and telephonic communication throughout the force on a front of 38 miles. He has received able assistance from Captain C O C Bowen, Lieutenant C Russell-Brown, and 2nd Lieutenant H L Mackworth.

Mounted Infantry-Captain H De B De Lisle, DSO, Durham Light Infantry, has done excellent service in temporary command; his action in the engagement of January 4, and the reconnaisance of the 25th, was of special value. Captain A H S Hart, East Surrey Regiment, and Lieutenant C Saunders, Dorset Regiment (attached), on two occasions made valuable reconnaissance sketches of important parts of the enemy's position with very indifferent cover in a nullah (down wHich they had crept), from a galling fire. Captain H L Buck-Keene, Oxford Light Infantry, Lieutenants Honourable C B Clegg-Hill, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and L K Smith, Boyaf Scots, have done specially good service.

Yorkshire Regiment-Lieutenant Colonel H Bowles has done very good service at critical times in command of his battalion. Captain M H Orr was dangerously wounded during the attack on New Zealand Hill, which post he commanded with great credit.

Royal Berkshire Regiment-To Major F W N Mc-Cracken and the four companies serving with this force is the successful attack on Colesberg on January 1 principally due; I cannot speak too highly of this officer's coolness, courage, and intrepidity, or of the gallantry and discipline displayed by his officers and men in making the night assault which he led so well; the regiment have intrenched themselves, and have established such an excellent system of defence that the enemy's fire, although nearly unceasing, is practically harmless. In connection with this work, I bring forward the names of Lieutenant A G E Bingley, acting adjutant, and Captain Sir T E S Pasley, Baronet. [Marker p10/1]

New Zealand Mounted Infantry-Major A W Bobin, commanding, deserves special mention for the frequent occasions upon which he and his men have performed signal service during these operations.

Colonel Viscount Downe was deputed to accompany the Military Attaches representing foreign Powers, and has discharged his duties with tact and discretion.

Major General G Pretyman, RA, acted as headquarters commandant to my entire satisfaction. I selected him to take charge of General Cronje on the journey to Oape Town, and on my arrival here I appointed him to the responsible post of Military Governor of Bloemfontein.

Lieutenant Colonel G Henderson (local Colonel), York and Lancaster Regiment, Director of Military Intelligence, reorganised the Intelligence Department., and gave me valuable and reliable information regarding the physical features of the country and the dispositions of the enemy.

Captain C Mackenzie (Brevet Major and local Lieutenant Colonel), Seaforth Highlanders. On Colonel Henderson being invalided, he was succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel Mackenzie, who afforded me material assistance by the accurate and valuable reports he submitted. Lieutenant Colonel Mackenzie has drawn special attention to the good service rendered in the Intelligence Branch by Major C Hume, RA

Major General W Kelly, CB, DAQ, has afforded me very great assistance in the responsible position he has filled, and the vigilance and energy he has shown in the performance of his duties have been most marked.

Major H Hamilton (local Lieutenant Colonel), DSO, DAAG

Captain R Poore (Brevet Major), 7th Hussars, Provost-Marshal, exercised his responsible duties, whether as regards care of prisoners or in maintaining order in camp and on line of march, most satisfactorily.

Colonel G Marshall (local Major General), RA, has been untiring in his supervision of the large force of artillery in this country, and I would specially refer to the value of the service he rendered during the bombardment of enemy's entrenchments from February 19 to 27, 1900. Major General Marshall mentions the able and unceasing assistance he has received from Major (local Lieutenant Colonel) H Sclater, AAG, RA

Colonel E Wood (local Major General), RE, Chief Engineer, supervised arrangements for pushing forward trenches towards enemy's laager at Paardeberg, and the successful result attained there is due in large measure to his efforts.

Colonel Sir W Nicholson (local Major General), RE, undertook, at my request, organisation of a transport department in the limited time available; he performed this duty with conspicuous ability.

Colonel W Richardson, ASC, DAG, Director of Supplies, has successfully overcome many difficulties connected with arranging for the supplies of the Army in a district where scarcely any forage, and no rations, except fresh meat, are procurable.

Lieutenant Colonel R Hippisley, RE, Director of Telegraphs, was indefatigable in endeavouring to ensure that I should be in communication with the whole of my force. That such a result was on most occasions attained, despite the distance which had to be traversed in an enemy's country, is most creditable to him, as well as to Captain E Godfrey-Faussett, RE, who was in immediate command of the Telegraph Division during the march to Bloemfontein.

Captain E Girouard (Brevet Major and local Lieutenant Colonel), DSO, RE, Director of Railways, has carried out his duties in a highly creditable manner; the concentration of troops prior to my advance was carried out by him without a hitch, and Be has recently performed valuable services in restoring through railway communication between the Orange Free State and Cape Colony.

Surgeon-General W Wilson, MB, has had responsible and important duties to perform; the arrangements necessary to provide for the wants of the many sick and wounded nave required unremitting care and forethought, and the successful way in which they have been carried out reflects the greatest credit on horn.

Colonel W Stevenson, Royal Army Medical Corps, has been PMO with the force, and I desire to draw attention not only to the efficient manner in which he has supervised the working of the corps, bat also to the assistance I have received from him at all times.

Mr Watson Cheyne, FRS, and Mr Kendal Franks, FRCSI, consulting surgeons, who accompanied the Army, have rendered invaluable service by their advice and assistance to the medical officers. They have been unwearying in their work among the wounded and sick, and, humanly speaking, many a valuable life has been saved by their skill.

Major J Fiaschi, NSW Medical Staff Corps, is deserving of special mention on account of the assistance which he rendered to the sick and wounded, as well as upon the efficient condition in which he has kept the ambulance under his command.

Honourable Colonel Lord Stanley, 2nd VB Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, has carried out the difficult duties of Press censor with tact and discretion.

Cavalry Division.

Major General J French (local Lieutenant General), commanding, carried out to my entire satisfaction the arduous and important duties entrusted to his charge. By his rapid movement from Dekiels Drift to Kimberley he relieved that beleaguered town on February 15, 1900; after engaging the enemy the following day he made a forced march to Koedoesrand Drift and cut off line of retreat of enemy's force. He bore a distinguished share in engagements of March 7, 10, and 13, on which latter date ne dislodged enemy from vicinity of Bloemfontein.

MAFEKING, October 13, 1899, to May 17, 1900

From Major General Baden-Powell's despatch, May 18, 1900:

Major Lord E Cecil, DSO, as chief staff officer, was of the greatest assistance to me; he stuck pluckily to his work, although much hampered by sickness during the first part of the siege; he did a great amount of hard work in the first organisation of the frontier force, and his tact and unruffled temperament enabled our staff dealings with the Colonial civilians to "be carried on with the least possible friction.

Captain Ryan, ASC, as DAAG (B), proved an exceptionally capable and energetic supply officer; on his shoulders fell the whole work of feeding the entire community-garrison, non-combatants, and natives-a duty which he carried out with conspicuous success.

Excellent Service-Colonel C E Beckett, CB, AAG; Lieutenant Colonel R W Mapleton, Royal Army Medical Corps; Major C Hamilton, RA, who has been acting throughout as DAAG on my Headquarter Staff; Major H Mullaly, RE, DAAG; Brevet Major A King, Royal Lancaster Regiment, ADC to Major General Sir A Hunter, KCB, DSO; Captain F Lyon, RFA, ADC; Captain J Young, RE, railway staff officer; Captain F Tatham, Natal Mounted Rifles; Reverend E Macpherson, BA, senior chaplain, Church of England; Reverend O Watkins, acting Wesleyan chaplain; T Bennett, resident magistrate, Ladysmith; D Giles, resident magistrate, Upper Tugela magistracy; Conductor W Ashmore, Indian unattached list; Quartermaster Sergeant E Morton, Corps of Military Staff Clerks; Sergeant P Burke, Staff Clerk Section, ASC; Guides A Allison, T Loxton, and P Greathead, Natal Corps of Guides.

From Sir G White’s despatch, March 23, 1900. [Marker p17/2]

Major General Sir A Hunter, who acted as my Chief of the Staff, is an offieer of well-known reputation. I cannot speak too highly of him, whether for the performance of staff duties or for bold leading in the field; he is a most loyal and efficient staff officer, and I recommend him for advancement with the utmost confidence, being well assured such a step would be for the good of the State.

Major General F Howard, commanding 8th Brigade and in charge of Section B of defences, has proved himself a careful and able administrator; the works constructed in his section were exceptionally strong and well maintained.

Colonel I Hamilton, commanding 7th Brigade and in charge of Section C of defences, has during whole of operations been in charge of the most exposed and most extended front, including the immense position of Caesar's Camp and Waggon Hill, over four miles of perimeter. I cannot speak too highly of his indefatigable zeal in organising the defence of his front, and in keeping up the hearts of all under him by his constant and personal supervision; his leadership on January 6 was the most marked factor in the success of the defence.

Colonel W Knox, colonel on staff in charge of Section A of defences, exercised the command entrusted to him with great zeal and skill. The works constructed on his front were models of semi-permanent entrenchment, laid out from the commencement on a pIan which enabled him to strengthen them day by day until they became practically impregnable; he is an officer of fine nerve and a strong disciplinarian. I trust his services may be adequately rewarded.

Colonel W Royston, commanding Natal Volunteer Forces, and in charge of Section D of defences. I can only repeat the high praise which I had the pleasure to bestow on Colonel Royston in my despatch of December 2. He commanded Section D in an admirable manner, and with Ms force, though much reduced in numbers by casualties and disease, continued to the end to perform invaluable service. He is an officer exceptionally suited to his important position as commandant of the Natal Volunteer Forces, and I trust he may receive some suitable reward.

Major General J Brocklehurst continued to command the Cavalry Brigade until the horses became useless from starvation; in all cavalry actions round Ladysmith his personal gallantry was conspicuous.

Colonel C Downing, commanding RA, did all that a highly-trained specialist couid do to assist me, both as regards the employment of £is batteries as mobile units and also in their distribution and action when it became necessary to demobilise them and place the guns in fixed epaulments; he is an officer in whose knowledge and judgment in artillery matters I have every confidence.

Major S Rice, commanding RE, was indefatigable in his exertions both by day and night, and showed considerable skill in laying out works and in giving to commanders of sections of the defences that advice and assistance in their construction which the trained officers of the Royal Engineers can so ably afford.

Brevet Colonel E Ward, CB, ASC, AAG (b). As the siege continued and the supply difficulties constantly increased, his cheerful ingenuity met every difficulty with ever-fresh expedients; he is unquestionably the very best supply officer I have ever met, and to his resource, foresight, and inventiveness the successful defence for so long a period is very largely due; he is exceptionally deserving of reward, and I trust that he may receive tne advancement which his services have merited.

Colonel B Duff, ISC, assistant military secretary, performed the duties of his office with his characteristic ability and zeal; he also took a prominent part in the general staff duties of headquarters, in which his services were equally valuable; this officer is fitted for the highest posts.

Colonel R Exham, Royal Army Medical Corps, did all that a PMO could do in organising the medical services under circumstances of exceptional difficulty, and with personnel and materiel both inadequate for a siege of such long duration, accompanied by such a great amount of sickness.

Lieutenant Colonel R Mapleton, Royal Army Medical Corps, in charge of Intombi Hospital Camp, was placed in a most exceptional position, in charge of a neutral camp, where maintenance of discipline in the ordinary way was impossible, but in face of all difficulties he did everything possible to maintain sanitation of the camp and to ensure the well-being of sick and wounded.

Veterinary Lieutenant Colonel I Matthews, Army Veterinary Department, PVO, did excellent work in maintaining: so far as want of proper forage would admit, the efficiency of all animals belonging to the force; he was a very valuable adviser on veterinary matters both to myself and to general officer commanding Cavalry Brigade.

Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Sir H Rawlinson, Baronet, Coldstream Guards, DAAG, who officiated throughout the siege as AAG (a), is a staff officer of great ability and activity, with a wonderful eye for the topography of the country; his constant observations of enemy s positions and movements were of much value to me in forecasting their intentions; he is well worthy of advancement.

Brevet Lieutenant Colonel H Lawson, additional AAG (a), is a staff officer of the highest ability and the soundest judgment, and rendered me most valuable service.

Major B Altham, AAG for Intelligence, has had to contend with all the difficulties inseparable from intelligence work under the limitations imposed by siege conditions; all that was possible under these conditions he has done, and I consider him an excellent intelligence officer in every respect.

Brevet Major H Henderson, DAAG for Intelligence. Towards the latter end of the siege Major Altham was attacked by enteric fever, and Major Henderson assumed charge of the Field Intelligence Department.; he is a bold and accurate reconnoitrer, and the intelligence he brought back was always reliable; whether as a subordinate or as head of Field Intelligence Department. he has always afforded me the greatest assistance. I recommend him for reward.

Major C Hamilton, DAAG (a), has done a good deal of most useful work, and has shown himself a Staff officer of high promise.

Major W Hawkins, Director of Army Telegraphs, was indefatigable in maintaining electric communication between my headauarters and all portions of defence; the service thus rendered was of highest value, and conduced greatly to the successful defence.

Major G Heath, in charge of Balloon Section, is a bold and enterprising aeronaut, and rendered useful service; the constant watch which he kept on enemy's movements being a source of much disquiet to them.

Major W Savile, Senior Ordnance Officer, conducted the duties of his department with zeal and ability.

Colonel J Dartnell, Chief Commissioner, Natal Police, possesses an exceptional knowledge of the Colony of Natal and of native character; I am greatly obliged to him for the advice and assistance which he has always been ready to afford me, of which I have availed myself freely, and which I have found of the highest value.

Magistrates-Mr T Bennett, Resident Magistrate, was placed by me in charge of the civil camp at Intombi, and performed much good service in strictly enforcing the conditions on which I was permitted by Commandant General Joubert to maintain that camp. Mr D Giles acted as resident magistrate during Mr Bennett's absence, and was of great assistance in maintaining discipline among the civil population, both European and native.

Chaplains-Reverends E Macpherson, O Watkins, T Murray, and Father Ford, senior chaplains of the Church of England, Wesleyan, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic denominations respectively, showed the greatest zeal and self-sacrifice in their attention to the sick and wounded as well as in their ministrations to those in health.

Royal Field Artillery: Lieutenant Colonel J A Cox-head, 2nd Brigade Division; Majors J W G Dawkins, 13th Battery; W E Blewitt, 21st Battery; C E Goulburn, 42ud Battery; A J Abdy, 53rd Battery; J F Manifold, 67th Battery; F D V Wing, 69th Battery; Lieutenant Colonel C W Park, 1st Battalion Devon Regiment Lieutenant Colonel A E R Curran, 1st Battalion Manchester Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel C T E Metcalfe, 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade.

Lieutenant Colonel W Allin has been PMO of the force in the field, and has had to make all the arrangements for the evacuation of hospitals and the removal of the wounded, which have, under great difficulties, been performed with great regularity and yet with the greatest consideration for the wounded.

From General Buller's despatch, dated Laing's Nek, June 19, 1900.

Colonel J Brocklehurst (local Major General)-The 2nd Cavalry Brigade had no opportunity of combined action, but General Brocklehurst's dispositions contributed to the general success. On June 10, the 18th Hussars gave valuable assistance and well-timed support to the South African Light Horse; on June 11, a valuable reconnaissance, through a difficult country occupied by the enemy, was made by Captain E Haag, 18th Hussars, and on the 12th the occupation of Volksrust by Captain E Harrison, 11th Hussars, attached to 19th Hussars, with a small party of that regiment was very well affected, and the measures he took for the seizure of archives and telegraph instruments were well considered, and proved of value.

Colonel Earl of Dundonald (local Major General), 3rd Mounted Brigade-This brigade gave most valuable assistance on the right at the capture of Botha's Pass on June 8; their ascent of the mountain and their getting up machine guns and two guns, BHA, was most valuable, and it is largely due to Lord Dundonald's action that our casualties were so small. On June 11 the action of the brigade on our right flank was excellent, and owing to Lord Dundonald's good dispositions, he first contained and eventually drove off a force of the enemy far exceeding his own in number. In connection with this, I recommend that Privates A Budworth, 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade, and J Bobson, Durham LL, both of the Composite Mounted Infantry Regiment, be granted the Distinguished Service medal.

Lieutenant Colonel E Hamilton, 2nd Infantry Brigade-This brigade was employed in the front both in the attack of Botha's Pass and at Allemann's Nek, and did well.

Colonel Talbot Coke (local Major General), 10th Infantry Brigade-This brigade occupied Van Wyk on June 8 successfully, and formed the right of the attack on Alleman's Nek on the 11th; I was much pleased with their action.

Colonel A Wynne (local Major General)-The 11th Brigade formed the left of the attack on Botha's Pass on the 8th, and General Wynne's dispositions were entirely satisfactory.

Royal Artillery-Colonel L Parsons' arrangements were, as usual, exceedingly good, and he was of the greatest assistance. The heavy guns that accompanied the force were placed under the direction of Major E May, who displayed energy and zeal. As usual, the fire of the 61st Howitzer Battery, under Major A Hamilton-Gordon, was admirably directed.

South African Light Horse-Major Honourable J H C Byng (local Lieutenant Colonel) (10th Hussars). The regiment acted as an independent unit, and performed its duties exceedingly well throughout; Lieutenant Colonel Byng proved himself, as usual, a valuable commander. Captain B Brooke (local Major) (7th Hussars), was specially recommended to me for the manner in which he commanded the left of our line on Tan Wyk on June 6.

Captain Minchin's dispositions were good, and he brings to notice the names of Lieutenant Green, Corporal Teadall, and Private McGregor.

From Sir R Buller’s despatch of September 13, 1900, dealing with the affair at Bergendal on August 27: -

General Kitchener especially brings to notice the conduct of Corporal W Macdonald, Gordon Highlanders, and of Lieutenant A C Jeffcoat, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, while in command of gun detachments.

Lieutenant General Lyttelton's dispositions for the day were excellent, and the manner in which his instructions for the assault were carried out by General Kitchener was most praiseworthy.

The dispositions throughout the day of Colonel L W Parsons, officer commanding RA, were excellent.

Lieutenant Colonel C T E Metcalfe, Rifle Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel R L Payne, DSO, Royal Inniskllling Fusiliers, and Major T A H Davis, DSO, 1st Devon Regiment, showed conspicuous ability, and Major G M Cockburn DSO, Rifle Brigade, deserves the greatest credit for the manner in which, on his colonel being wounded, he assumed command, and the moment the assault was successful, reformed his regiment, and pushed on in pursuit.

I much regret the death of Captains Lysley, Steward, and Campbell, of the Rifle Brigade, each of whom led their companies most gallantly.

Lieutenant Colonel J F Burn-Murdoch (local Brigadier General) commanded throughout the mounted troops employed in defence of Newcastle and surrounding district; his excellent arrangements and rapidity of movement secured the town and district from invasion, though it wan, on many occasions, seriously attacked by superior forces, and notably on August 20, 21, 22, and 29.

General Burn-Murdoch brings the following to notice: -

1st Cavalry Brigade Staff Captains A Taylor, 13th Hussars, brigade major; a thoroughly good staff officer of a cavalry brigade in the field. Captain R Smyth, 21st Lancers, intelligence officer; Lieutenant Honourable u. Guest, Royal Dragoons, assistant provost marshal; both have done excellent work.

Captain C Stuart and Lieutenant and Adjutant W Winwood are highly spoken of. Sergeants W Berry, H Harris; Private R Mills.

1st (Royal) Dragoons-Major Lord Basing, commanding, has done very good work throughout, and has, on several occasions, handled the regiment in the field against superior forces with considerable skill. Major J Rogers has always shown great military ability, as has also Captain H McNeile. Captain G Steele has been adjutant throughout the campaign, and has done good work. Lieutenants R Glyn, W Grant, C Calvert, and Captain T Pitt have done good work; the latter as regimental transport officer, has done thoroughly good work.

Captains J Tremayne (adjutant), E Wiggin; Lieutenant E Denny; So-Sergeant Major Prentice; Privates J Pritchard, T Farrance, S Herbert.

No. 11 Field Hospital-C and D Sections acted as field hospital to 1st Cavalry Brigade. The arrangements of Captain K M Cameron, MB, RAMO, gave every satisfaction, and he specially brings to notice the services of 3rd Class AsSt Surgeon, R Hart, ISMD, as an excellent medical warrant officer, well worthy of advancement, and of Private A McKay, 1st Battalion Scottish Rifles, who has acted as nurse in special hospital cases throughout, and done most consistently good work.

Bethune's Mounted Infantry-Lieutenant Colonel E Bethune, 16th Lancers, raised the regiment and commanded most efficiently throughout the campaign. Captains C Collopy, E Capell, Lieutenants Norman Packer and M Prior have distinguished themselves on more than one occasion.

Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry-In the area commanded by Lieutenant General Sir C F Clery, the mounted work was done by the regiment under Major (local Lieutenant Colonel) A W Thorneycroft, Royal Scots Fusiliers, who merits the highest commendation I can bestow; his talents, both as organiser and as a leader of men, are of the highest order. Captain (local Major) G St Aubyn, King's Royal Rifle Corps, second in command, is a leader of high ability and courage, much above the average of his rank, and has shown great tact in dealing with Colonial troops. Captain M Farquhar, who has performed exceptionally good service throughout, only joined for the war, anu I recommend him for especial consideration. Captain E Molyneaux, 12th Bengal Lancers, a dashing and capable leader of men, has distinguished himself on several occasions.

Major W Peyton, 15th Hussars, succeeded Captain (local Major) Q St Aubyn as second in command on July 23, when that officer was invalided; with a quick grasp of the situation, he is a leader of high ability and is also a valuable officer in matters of interior economy. Privates A Neilson and W Strong are brought specially to notice for gallant conduct.

In conclusion, General Buller says: -In bringing the foregoing to notice, I specially mention the mounted corps separately, because in the protection of a line of railway the duties which fall to them are so much more onerous and dangerous than those which fall to other corps, that I thought it but fair to mark, by reporting upon them separately, my sense of their really excellent work.

In his final despatch of same date, General Buller brings to notice the following as deserving of special mention, and requests that the mentions be taken as a whole in connection with his despatch of March 30: -

Colonel J Wolfe-Murray (local Major General), has commanded the Lines of Communication in Natal throughout) his services have been invaluable; he has maintained throughout a perfect military organisation, and the best possible relations with the civil authorities. He is an officer of great military value, and I know of no position he could be allotted in which I should not feel with perfect confidence that he would distinguish himself.

Headquarter Staff, Lines of Communication- Major H Heath (local Lieutenant Colonel), Yorkshire Light Infantry, AAG, has been CSO to General Wolfe Murray, throughout; possessed of great power of work, thorough knowledge of his duties, and shrewd common sense, he has contributed much to the efficiency of the service he had charge of; I recommend him strongly for advancement. Lieutenant Colonel T O'Dell, ASC, AAG (b), has been of the greatest possible assistance; he has a thorough knowledge of all the duties pertaining to his branch of the staff, and especially those relating to the transport of troops by sea and their movement by land; I cannot speak too highly of his work. Captain T H Shoubridge, DSO, Northumberland Fusiliers, Staff Captain, has worked most creditably; he is well deserving of notice and of promotion. Captain C Southey, Royal Irish Fusiliers, ADC to General Wolfe Murray, has taken his share of the work; he is a smart, promising officer, with an acute knowledge of military detail. Staff Sergeant Major C Williams, Staff Clerk Section, ASC, has been chief clerk throughout; a capable worker, he thoroughly understands the management of an office, and has done most excellent work; I regret to say that when I left Natal I thought him suffering from overwork.

Durban-Colonel A Morris succeeded Captain P Scott, RN, as commandant; he has had a difficult and onerous position to fill, and has shown great tact and ability in dealing with the numerous and delicate questions that have presented themselves in connection with the administration of martial law at this most important seaport; the best testimony I can bear to his work is that when I was leaving Durban I was asked by the Mayor not to relieve the town from martial law, as it was, he said, working admirably under Colonel Morris. Major Bousfield, Natal volunteers, has devoted his local knowledge, his professional skill, and his singular personal influence to making the administration of martial law easy,; I owe him a deep debt of gratitude. Captain C Toogood, Manchester Regiment, has acted as military landing officer throughout; practically the whole of the military embarkation and disembarkation work at Durban has devolved upon him; he was very junior for so important a position, which was one of great responsibility, and proved himself fully equal to the occasion; I strongly recommend him for advancement.

Pietermaritzburg-Brevet Colonel R Martin, commandant, has worked steadily and well in a position which was not, I think, at all in accordance with his tastes, but he accommodated himself to his duties, and has carried them out to my entire satisfaction. Major E Kennedy, West India Station staff officer, has proved himself a hard-working, painstaking and reliable officer; I can confidently recommend him to notice. Captain H A Coddington, Royal Irish Fusiliers, baggage master, has had a very difficult task to carry out; he has shown great energy and considerable power of organisation; I trust his labours may be rewarded. Army Schoolmaster A Arthur has done excellent work while employed as clerk.

Depots-Major R Sandwith (local Lieutenant Colonel), Leicester Regiment, has commanded the General Depot almost throughout the campaign; with no permanent staff, and at one time 3,000 men in depot, the duty has been a difficult one, and has been discharged in a manner that I can commend. Lieutenant Colonel B Quill organised and has commanded the Convalescent Depot formed after the relief of Ladysmith with great success. He is an energetic officer, who takes much interest in the welfare of the men under him. Major T Glynn, Liverpool Regiment, has done excellent work as adjutant and quartermaster of Convalescent Depot. Lieutenant Colonel Quill speaks most highly of his work and capacity, and I agree that much of the success which has attended this depot must be attributed to Major Glynn, whose work I commend to notice. Corporal S Mackenzie, 5th Dragoon Guards, has done very good work as orderly room clerk of Convalescent Depot.

Station Staffs-The following have done very useful service at various stations on Lines of Communication:- Lieutenant Colonel G Mills, 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers, as commandant at Estcourt. Brevet Lieutenant Colonel J Dalrymple-Hay, West India Regiment, as commandant at Railhead and Volkrust Lieutenant Colonel T McGubbin, Durban Light Infantry, as commandant at Mooi River, Estcourt, and Dundee. Major M Curry (local Lieutenant Colonel), Devon Regiment, as commandant at Ladysmith. Major C Watts, Derbyshire Regiment, as station staff officer, Mooi River and Volkrust, and latterly as commandant, Volkrust.

Royal Engineers-Lieutenant Colonel H Rawson, CRE, who has had charge of the whole of Engineer works on the Lines of Communication, has been indefatigable; bi.s technical knowledge, his vigour of mind and body, and his tact have overcome every difficulty; I can confidently recommend him for your most favourable consideration. Major J Cowan, staff officer, has done much good work; a good engineer, with a cool head, and full of resource; I trust his good work and abilities will not be lost sight of. Colonel Rawson. mentions, as specially deserving of consideration, Quartermaster Sergeant E Plowright; Sergeant Major Foreman of Works A Carmichael (since deceased; Quartermaster Sergeant V Knowles; Staff Sergeant R Chilcott; all of whom have done excellent work, and in the absence of superior officers, work of higher quality than would, under ordinary circumstances, have been expected from them.

Censors' Department-The following deserve special mention and thanks; their work, which is, at any time, unpleasant and difficult, has been carried out efficiently, and with, I think, the least possible friction:-Majors W Jones, Wiltshire Regiment, principal press censor; H Vowell, West Yorkshire Regiment; S Bird, Royal Dublin Fusiliers; W F Walter, Lancashire Fusiliers; C Glyn, (late 32nd Foot); T Fraser, Of these., Major Jones, Mr Glyn and Mr Fraser have been employed throughout, and I specially recommend them for favourable consideration.

Supply-Major H Morgan (local Lieutenant Colonel), ASC, has been throughout in charge of the Supply of the Natal Field Force; in addition to undertaking the extremely onerous duties of supply, he also charged himself with the supervision of the "Natal field Force Canteen," an institution which proved the greatest possible boon to all officers and men, and which, under his able direction, supplied the best possible goods at lowest possible rates. Colonel Morgan's arrangements for it were admirable, and will, I hope, be made a model for use on any future compaign. He has shown himself to be possessed of great talent for administration and power of work, and of that appreciation of responsibility which enabled him not only to accept but to discharge in the most responsible way every difficulty with which he was faced; no work has been too severe for him, and in my judgment no reward would be too good for him. Lieutenant Colonel F A le P Trench, ASC, Assistant Director of Supplies, is accurate, painstaking, of good judgment and great business capacity; I recommend him very favourably to notice. Major G M V Hunt, ASC, who has rendered good service throughout the campaign, works hard, and gets good work out of his subordinates; he is a valuable staff officer. Major N A D Barton, Connaught Rangers, attached to ASC, has been in charge of the Supply Duties at Durban, a post of great responsibility; -with no previous experience of such duties, he has fulfilled them with remarkable success, and developed business aptitude of a very high character; I recommend him strongly as a most deserving officer. The work of the Army Service Corps employed on the lines of communication has been of a most arduous nature. The following warrant and NCO's. and men have been brought to my notice as having performed specially good work:-1st Class Staff Sergeant Majors J Fisher, F Walsh, W Bateson; Staff Sergeant Majors E G Singleton, J Sinister, Einton, Reed, W Harris; Staff Quartermaster Sergeants E Barris, S Lea, Ashley; Farrier Quartermaster Sergeant Shaw; Company Quartermaster Sergeant F Stanton; Staff Sergeants B Sharpe, J Connor; Sergeant a.. Alien; Corporals T Hamer, F Siddle, H Mills, Privates Harris, Fish; Sub-Conductor P Lowry, Indian Commissariat Department. Quartermaster and Honorary Lieutenant T Doherty and Quartermaster and Honorary Lieutenant H Beaumont, ASC, have performed excellent work in connection with Supply and Reserve Depots, and are deserving of recognition.

Transport-Lieutenant Colonel G Stanley, ASC, Director of Transport throughout, has been conspicuously successful in meeting all requirements, and his resource and forethought are only equalled by his unfailing cheerfulness; in my opinion, Colonel Stanley's services have been of immense value, and no reward which can be given to him would be top great. Captain G Conway-Gordon, ASC, Assistant Director of Transport, has filled a responsible position most successfully; of varied attainments and good ability, he has done first-rate work. The following officers are brought to notice by Colonel Stanley:-Major G Hamnett, ASC, on whom the work of preparation of the transport has chiefly fallen; Captain C Dodgson, ASC, has commanded the Transport Remount Company throughout, and his work has been very heavy; Captains H Burrard, ABC, and J Hennessy, ISC, have done excellent work. The following officers have been attached to Army Service Corps, and have all done excellent work:-Captains Cecil Yonge, Natal Volunteers; E Vaughan, 1st Battalion Manchester Regiment; Lieutenants J Livingstone, 3rd Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders; I G Sewell, Royal Fusiliers; Riding-Master and Honourable Lieutenant T Kearns and Quartermaster and Honorary Lieutenant C Bamford, ASC, have done good service and deserve recognition; Staff Sergeant Major F Derbyshire, ASC, has performed duties of chief clerk most efficiently, and is deserving of promotion; Sgfc-Major F Kennedy, AMS, is a capable and energetic warrant officer, and Sergeant J Buckley, ASC, has worked exceptionally'well; Conductor M Maher, LSC, has done good work in connection with the Indian Pack Mule Train.

Remounts-Colonel R Stevenson, Inspector of Remounts, discharged his duties most satisfactorily; of unbounded energy, he exercised great foresight in providing for possible requirements; I trust his exertions will be recognised. Captain R Sparrow, 7th Dragoon Guards, who has acted as DAAG, Remounts, throughout, is a steady, conscientious, hard-workingofficer 5 he has done right well. Quartermaster and Honorary Lieutenant R Pillinger, Remount Establishment, has performed arduous duties with the utmost zeal. Farrier-Major Stroud, 1st (King's) Dragoon Guards, has worked throughout with great energy and success, and has performed his duties in an admirable manner.

Medical Department-Colonel T Gallwey, MD, has been PMO of the Natal Field Force througnout; I believe he has succeeded in maintaining on the lines of communication, and at the front, a higher standard of comfort in general, stationary, and field hospitals, and a better service in bearer companies than has ever Before been attained with a force in the field; his unbounded energy and his unrivalled powers of organisation have aided him in this work, but beyond this he has shown a devotion to his work, a grasp of situation, and a capacity of forethought that justifies me in saying that I consider his services eminently deserving of the highest consideration. Colonel J Clery, PMO, of the lines of communication, is an officer of sound judgment, common sense, and high administrative power; in his hands the hospital of Mooi River became remarkable as a model of what a hospital should be, and since that he has done most valuable service in supervising the hospitals and medical work along the lines of communication in Natal; I trust his services may be rewarded. Lieutenant Colonel P Johnsson, MD, did admirable work at a time of great pressure at the commencement of the campaign, showing much foresight and good powers of organisation. The following deserve mention for the excellent duties they performed in connection with general and stationary hospitals:-Lieutenant Colonels J Mac-Neece, No. 7, General; H Martin, MB, No. 14General; Majors T Lucas, secretary and registrar, No. 4 General; F Daly, No. 1 Stationary; H Johnston, Mooi River General; G Brazier-Creagh, excellent service with ambulance train; S Westcott, R McCormack, MD, Base Depot, Medical Stores; Lieutenants and Quartermasters, No. 4 General; F Ball, Howick General.

The number of warrant and non-commissioned officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps who have performed work locally considered worthy of special mention, is very large, and the same remark applies to the Militia and Volunteer Medical Staff Corps, St John's Ambulance Brigade, Army nursing sisters, Indian Medical Service (attached), Imperial Irregular Corps, and Natal Volunteers, civil surgeons, and Colonial nurses. I am quite unable to make a selection of the names forwarded to me, and have forwarded the list to the Director-General, AMS, begging him to obtain permission to publish such names as ne may think desirable.

I express the gratitude of the whole force to the following:-HRH Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein for the gift of a hospital train, which has been the greatest blessing to our sick and wounded; Red Croat Society, under Sir J Furley; Durban Women's Patriotic League; Army Hospital Aid, Pietermaritzburg; Mr A Mosely for his munificent donation of Princess Christian Hospital, Pinetown; Mr F Stevens, who gave the use of his house and grounds for Princess Christian Hospital; Mr Coope, who, gave his yacht "Sunrise" for the use of sick and wounded officers; Sir Samuel Scott, who similarly took sick and wounded officers on board the "Golden Eagle." These cases stand out, but there were many other instances in which private individuals generously contributed.

Ordnance-Lieutenant Colonel (local Colonel) E Appelbe, Chief Ordnance Officer, deserves the highest praise; hard-working, resourceful, with a thorough knowledge of his subject, he has worked at very high pressure throughout; he has made no difficulties, foreseen every want, and kept the Field Force thoroughly well supplied; I strongly recommend him for reward. The Ordnance Department has been short-handed throughout, and an unusual amount of work has fallen upon individuals, and I submit the following m order of merit as specially deserving;-Captains G H Stoyle, A Barton; Major W Savile; Sub-Conductors W Dickson, G Longstaffe; Quartermaster Sergeant E Sydney; Privates J Armstrong, E Stupple; Corporals W Bunt, A Passaway, Private J Wallace; 1st Class Armourer Sergeant G Woodhall, J Hepburn.

Army Pay Department-Colonel W Mortimer, chief paymaster, has rendered most valuable assistance; of great experience and sound judgment, his advice has been most valuable, while his energy and knowledge have, I hope, been proved by the regularity with which he has rendered his accounts; I recommend his good work for favourable consideration. Lieutenant Colonel R Ireland has been Senior Field Paymaster throughout, and has rendered good and valuable service. Major F G Hamley has done excellent •work as Colonel Mortimer's senior assistant. Captain J O'Hara has been Chief Cash Officer throughout, and has discharged bis duty in a thoroughly good and business-like manner. 1st Class Staff Sergeant Major H Yates and Staff Sergeant Major H George deserve consideration.

Veterinary Department-Veterinary Major (local Lieutenant Colonel) C Rutherford, was, for a time, senior veterinary officer on lines of communication; of high professional attainments and good business capacity, he is deserving of promotion. Veterinary Captain R Raymond, senior veterinary officer, lines of communication, has held a position of considerable responsibility, and has proved himself equal to the occasion; I believe him to be above the average, professionally, and recommend him for promotion. Veterinary Lieutenants G Williams, F Wilson, R Cochrane, have done good work, as have Farrier Quartermaster Sergeant Padfleld, 18th Hussars; Staff Corporal-Farrier Hives, Royal Horse Guards; Farrier Quartermaster Corporal R Peacock, 2nd Life Guards; Staff Corporal-Farrier D McKenzie, 2nd Life Guards. Civil Veterinary Surgeon D Quinlan, attached, has been in charge of Veterinary Hospital Remount Depot, Mooi River, and given every satisfaction and done much good work.

Civil-His Excellency the Honourable Sir W F Hely-Hutchinson, GCMG, Governor of Natal, and Honourable Sir A Hime, KCMG, Prime Minister of Natal, have spared no time, labour or forethought to help us; to them, the Natal Field Force owes a deep debt of gratitude, and it is due, possibly, to their efforts that all the) officials of the Natal Government have assisted us in the most noble manner. Among these officials I must mention:-Colonel (local Brigadier General) J G Dartnell, CMG, who has commanded the Natal Police and the Natal Volunteers, and been unwearying in his efforts. Mr David Hunter, CMG, general manager of the Natal Government Railways. Mr Shaws, chief engineer, and the engineer staff of that railway. Mr Barnes, chief engineer, and Mr P Harrison, district engineer of the Public Works Department. All have always ungrudgingly, promptly and willingly, given every assistance in their power, I fear often at some inconvenience and loss to their own departments. Mr Hunter, besides meeting all our demands for railway transport in the most prompt manner, has also placed workshops at our disposal, where most of our heavy gun mountings and fittings for hospital trains and hospital ships have been constructed.

Railways-The military part of the railway administration has been under the direction of Major G Elliot, RE, Assistant Director of Railways, who is an officer of unbounded energy and thorough knowledge of construction; his services have throughout been important. Captain H Livingstone, RE, Deputy-Assistant Director, Has shown good sense and tact, and done good work as our military representative with Natal Government Railways. Lieutenant Fuller, RE, has proved himself a capable and promising young officer in a responsible position. Captain C H Harrington, Liverpool Regiment, who has acted as staff officer at various stations with conspicuous success, is an officer of first-rate ability, business capacity, and tact; I strongly recommend him for promotion.
