| Long | C J | | Colonel | Colonel Long is a gunner of much distinguished service, and it is impossible not to admire the gallantry that led him into the crucial mistake made in the handling of the guns at Colenso on December 15. Upon that unfortunate occasion Colonel Long was dangerously wounded. It was intended that he should come into action covered by the 6th Brigade, but the 14th and 66th Batteries were led into the open, where they were subjected to a fire in which it was impossible for men to live. The story of the gallantry displayed in the effort to recover the guns is well known, and will become famous. Colonel Long entered the Royal Artillery in 1870, and became a captain ten years later, at the time of the Afghan War, in which he served, and he obtained his majority in 1886. He took part in the Nile Expedition of 1898, and was at the battle of Khartoum as Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding Egyptian Artillery. For his good service he was mentioned in despatches, received the brevet of colonel, and was thanked by both Houses of Parliament. In October, 1899, Colonel Long was appointed to command the Royal Artillery upon the staff of the Natal Field Force with Sir George White, but, on his arrival in Natal, took charge of the lines of communication at Estcourt. He was engaged in the operations in Southern Natal, and served with Sir Redvers Buller's column in the advance to the Tugela. When the General sent his despatch concerning the unfortunate engagement of December 15, he stated that Colonel Long was so dangerously wounded that his report upon the loss of the guns could not be obtained. | Royal Horse Artillery |
