[6] OFFICERS PRESENT, 1st December, 1805. _Major_ George Cuyler (commanding a brigade); _Captains_ John Grant, (commanding the regiment), William Baird; _Lieutenants_ D. Morrice, N. Maclaurin, H. Steele, Thomas Lanphier, George D’Aguilar, (brigade-major); _Quarter-Master_ J. Smith; _Surgeon_, P. Deane; _Assistant-Surgeon_ R. Bellars: 48 serjeants, 19 drummers, 354 rank and file. [7] Major Edwards was killed at the storming of Bhurtpore, under Lord Cumbermere, while in command of the Fourteenth Foot. [8] The Regiment erected a handsome Monument where this officer fell, with the following inscription:-- “Lieut. John Graham Munro fell near this spot on the 8th of July, 1810, while charging the enemy, at the head of His Britannic Majesty’s 86th Grenadiers. The Officers of the Regiment have erected this Monument as a mark of their respect for his memory.” This monument having, some years back, suffered by a hurricane, the French officers stationed on the island, (to their honour be it known,) had it put in a thorough state of repair at their own expense. [9] A division of the regiment on marching through Tipperary, in 1823, halted at the village of Middleton: in the evening the commanding officer observed the soldiers assembled round a tomb in the burial ground, with their caps off; on enquiring the cause, a soldier of the grenadiers replied, “Your honour, we are come up to see our old captain.” On joining the group, he observed the tomb of his old and respected comrade, Lieut.-Colonel Lanphier, and the following words, which had been scratched by the soldiers beneath the inscription on the tomb-stone, “A BRAVE SOLDIER!” “Please your honour,” (the soldier continued) “the Boys of the company would like to fire three rounds over the grave, and would be glad to pay for the powder if your honour will let them fire.” On the following morning the grenadier company, which the deceased had gallantly commanded for a number of years, paid the last tribute of respect to their late captain’s remains which was duly appreciated by his surviving relatives, and also by the villagers. Lieut.-Colonel Lanphier entered the army as Ensign in the 10th Foot, in 1798, and was promoted to be Lieutenant in the 86th Regiment in 1800, to be Captain in 1806, to the rank of Brevet-Major in 1810, and of Brevet Lieut.-Colonel in 1819; he retired from the service by the sale of his Commission on the 30th of January, 1823, being then the Senior Captain of the 86th Regiment.
