FOOTNOTE: [11] The position of the troops on this plan is that of November 27, 1857; but the plan will explain the actions on the other days. _Erratum._ Page 337, line 31: the name of the sergeant who distinguished himself is James Harrywood. THE RIFLE BRIGADE. CHAPTER I. Towards the close of the last century Colonel Coote Manningham and Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable William Stewart addressed a representation to the Government, pointing out the importance of having a corps furnished with arms of precision, and the advantage of training such a corps in the special duties of Riflemen. It would have been interesting to preserve the text of this document; but I regret that it does not now exist. Every search has been made in the records of the War Department, by the kindness of Mr. Denham Robinson, of the War Office, but, I regret to say, without success; and it has been suggested that it may probably have been transferred to the Small Arms Department, and may have perished with the records of that office in the fire at the Tower of London in 1841.
