Colonel Stawell, and the officers commanding the other regiments, which attended this august ceremony, had the honor of having a gold medal presented to them by command of Her Majesty. On the 9th of July the TWELFTH Royal Lancers were reviewed, with a number of other corps, in Hyde Park by Her Majesty; they subsequently marched to Brighton, where they were stationed in 1839. [Sidenote: 1839] On the 28th December of this year, Colonel His Royal Highness The Prince George of Cambridge, was, by authority of Her Majesty, attached to the TWELFTH Royal Lancers, and authorised to wear the uniform of the regiment. The Prince joined in February, 1840, and continued to do duty with the regiment for two years[7]. [Sidenote: 1840] Leaving Brighton in June, 1840, the regiment proceeded to Liverpool, where it embarked for Ireland. [Sidenote: 1841] The regiment has since continued in the garrison of Dublin, and remains on that duty at the period of the termination of this record. [Sidenote: 1842] In 1842 the regiment was again clothed in _blue_. The Historical Record of THE TWELFTH ROYAL LANCERS, as given in the preceding pages, which is confirmed by the testimony of the highest military commanders, under whom the regiment has served, sufficiently proves the value of this corps to the crown, and that it has, on all occasions, either in conflict with a foreign enemy, or in patient endurance, when domestic disturbances have required its services, fulfilled its duties with honor, and with advantage to the country. The distinguished conduct of the regiment in EGYPT; its gallant bearing and _esprit de corps_ during the PENINSULAR WAR; the noble and daring charge made by the corps, on a column of French infantry, at the battle of WATERLOO, on the 18th of June, 1815, with the heroic manner in which it led the attack of the right wing, at the close of the action, have established the character of the regiment, and proved its merit of the honors which have been conferred on it by royal authority.

[2] Some of the officers proceeded to Rome, and had the honor of being introduced to the Pope, who received them in a very gracious manner, and taking a helmet into his hand, ejaculated a wish "that Heaven would enable the cause of truth and religion to triumph over injustice and infidelity," and he then placed it on Captain Browne's head. [3] About three hundred men were mounted in the first instance, and three hundred more at a subsequent period. [4] The following is a description of the Column erected by General R.
