The record of the services of the SEVENTH, or QUEEN'S OWN HUSSARS, for a period of one hundred and fifty years, (as contained in the preceding pages,) exhibits a proof, among the other portions of the British army, of attachment to their officers, of loyalty and fidelity to their sovereign, and of zeal and devotedness to their country. On all occasions, when their services have been required to meet a foreign enemy, they have entered upon the difficulties of active warfare with readiness and a determination to perform the duties allotted them; and their bravery and contempt of danger have been strongly evinced. Their gallantry at the battle of Dettingen in 1743; their conduct at _Warbourg_ in 1760, under the Marquis of Granby, and on other occasions in Germany during the Seven years' War;--their boldness and intrepid bearing in conflict with the enemy at _Cateau_, _Roubaix_, _Tournay_, and _Mouvaux_, under the Duke of York, in 1794, which received His Royal Highness's strongest commendations, afford instances of the most determined bravery. The proofs of true courage were further adduced by the firm conduct of the SEVENTH HUSSARS in the advance into Spain under Lieut.-General Sir John Moore in 1808, and in the retreat to Corunna in January, 1809, as detailed in the Regimental Record. The gallantry of the regiment at the battle of Waterloo, in June, 1815, gained an imperishable addition to its fame; and the deeds of the officers and men, who fought on that glorious occasion, are sufficient to perpetuate an emulous desire in the present and future members of the corps to rival the exertions of their brave predecessors. The smart, active, and soldier-like appearance of the regiment, its correct and orderly conduct in quarters, and its gallantry in the field, have acquired a high character in the estimation of the country, and proved it to be a valuable acquisition to the crown and to the government. In thus recording the commendations due to so distinguished a regiment as the SEVENTH Hussars, the compiler of this Record, with true respect towards the gallant officer and nobleman at the head of the corps, ventures to associate his fame and honour with those of his regiment, with which, for more than forty years, they have been identified: General the Marquis of Anglesey, K.G. and G.C.B., assumed the command of the SEVENTH Hussars as Lieutenant-Colonel on the 6th of April, 1797; he shared with his regiment in the dangers and honours of the conflicts in Holland in 1799; at Sahagun and Benevente in 1808; in the retreat to Corunna in 1809; and at the all-crowning victory of Waterloo in 1815, where he lost his leg by a cannon shot. In future ages the gallant and heroic deeds of this nobleman will be the admiration of every member and friend of the British army.
