A detachment of recruits, consisting of sixty-nine rank and file, joined on the 25th of April. At this period the officers of the NINETY-SECOND were directed to wear wings, instead of two bullion epaulets for all ranks as heretofore. One of the two companies stationed at Lucea marched on the 23rd of August to Montego Bay, and on the 27th of November was moved from thence to Maroon Town. [Sidenote: 1823] Major-General Sir John Keane, K.C.B., assumed the command of the troops in Jamaica, on the 1st of May, 1823, and in the early part of June visited the different stations of the regiment, when he approved highly of its discipline and appearance. Lieut.-General the Honorable Alexander Duff was appointed colonel of the NINETY-SECOND on the 6th of September, 1823, in succession to Lieut.-General Sir John Hope, G.C.H., who was removed to the seventy-second regiment. [Sidenote: 1824] A detachment of thirty recruits joined on the 10th of February, 1824, and they were stationed at Fort Augusta. The head-quarters of the regiment marched from Falmouth to Montego Bay on the 5th of April, where they arrived at daylight on the following morning; and on the 7th embarked in H. M. ship “Pyramus,” the other two divisions embarking about the same time. The regiment landed at Fort Augusta on the 10th, 12th, and 16th of April. Six companies and the head-quarters remained at Fort Augusta, and two companies were detached to Kingston Barracks. During the two years the regiment was stationed on the north side, the men enjoyed a high state of health, considering the climate of Jamaica. Of their conduct in quarters, the best judgment may be formed from the following address presented to Lieut.-Colonel Williamson, by a committee of the magistrates and vestry of Trelawny appointed for that purpose:— “Court House, Falmouth. “5th April, 1824. “SIR, “We, the magistrates and vestry of Trelawny, cannot permit the departure from this post, of the distinguished regiment under your command, without declaring our sense of the exemplary conduct of the officers and orderly demeanour of the men, during the time they have been stationed among us. In expressing our satisfaction at the cordiality that has prevailed between your regiment and the inhabitants of the district, we cannot but ascribe to you the excellent state of discipline which has led to this desirable result. “We beg to offer our best wishes for the health of yourself and officers, in whatever part of the world your military duties may call you to. (Signed) “HENRY GORDON. “_Magistrate Presiding._ “Lieut.-Colonel Williamson, Commanding NINETY-SECOND regiment.” About the middle of April, the recruits which had lately joined were attacked by fever, which carried off one-third of their number.
