Captain Glubb’s company, now 5 Battery, 5th Brigade; 2 gunners died of their wounds; 2 gunners wounded slightly. Captain Holcombe’s company, now 4 Battery, 2nd Brigade; 1 gunner killed; 17 non-commissioned officers and men wounded. Captain Lawson’s company, now H Battery, 8th Brigade; 1 gunner died of his wounds; 2 gunners wounded. Captain Sympher’s company (K.G.A.); 1 gunner killed; 3 gunners wounded. The ammunition expended was:--8950 rounds from 24-pounders, and 565 from 18-pounders. [Sidenote: To Lord Liverpool, dated 20 Jan. 1812.] In Lord Wellington’s despatch, announcing the successful termination of the siege, he--after extolling Major Dickson’s conduct of the Artillery operations--proceeded to say: “The rapid execution produced by the well-directed fire kept up from our batteries affords the best proof of the merits of the officers and men of the Royal Artillery, and of the Portuguese Artillery, employed on this occasion; but I must particularly mention Brigade-Major May, and Captains Holcombe, Power, Dyneley, and Dundas, of the Royal Artillery.” General Borthwick’s name is not mentioned, either in the despatch or among the wounded; but he appears in Kane’s list--generally most accurate in its details--as having been in command of the Artillery, and also as having been wounded, during the siege. Ciudad Rodrigo had hardly fallen, before Lord Wellington resolved to attempt a third siege of Badajoz,--now that he had suitable ordnance. He ordered Major Dickson to proceed on the 30th January to Setubal, calling at Elvas to make some necessary arrangements. From Setubal he was directed to send 16 24-pounders of a new battering train, which had arrived, to Elvas,--as well as 20 guns of the same calibre, which were to be furnished from the navy. The whole of these guns were to travel on block carriages. The difficulty of sending the heavy guns of the train at Almeida to Elvas led to this arrangement: but it was decided to send the 24-pounder howitzers, as being much lighter, and also a number of 24-pounder carriages, which were stored at Almeida. By this means it was hoped to have speedily equipped at Elvas a new battering train of 36 iron 24-pounder guns, and 16 24-pounder howitzers,--an armament very different from the brass Portuguese guns which had assailed the stronghold of Philippon twice before.
