[155] Siborne, i. 106. [156] Ibid. 109. [157] He was shot through the abdomen, and died, in a house at Quatre Bras, next morning. [158] He died of his wounds. [159] Major-General FitzMaurice, K. H., died December 24, 1865. [160] ‘Supp. Desp.’ x. 751. [161] Kincaid, ‘Adventures in the Rifle Brigade,’ p. 353. [162] I have extracted the above return from the ‘Wellington Despatches,’ xii. 487, and it is signed by Lieutenant-Colonel Waters, Assistant Adjutant-General, but it is certainly incorrect as regards the 1st Battalion. Two Field Officers were certainly present, Barnard and Cameron: both were wounded, and are so returned (‘Army List,’ August, 1815), nor is it easy to account for the number (185) reported as ‘sick absent.’ A note to the original states that the large number of ‘sick absent’ in this (and some other regiments) is owing to their losses at Quatre Bras; yet the 1st Battalion had only forty-eight men wounded there. It will be seen on comparing this return with the lists of casualties that the 1st Battalion lost of all ranks in killed and wounded more than three-eighths of its numbers; the 2nd Battalion rather less than one-third; and the 3rd Battalion a little more than a fifth, and the whole Regiment (fourteen companies) about a third. [163] I presume as Kincaid calls Worsley, then residing on his estate in Nottinghamshire, as a living witness to the truth of this statement, it may here be recorded. It has been confirmed to me by independent testimony. [164] A memoir of General Beckwith has been published by M. Meille, of which there is an English translation, London, 1873. [165] Simmons’ MS. Narrative. [166] He was placed on half-pay at the reduction of the 3rd Battalion, and after serving in some other regiments, died in the Norwich Military Lunatic Asylum, July 6, 1847. [167] I cannot mention George Simmons’ name here for the last time without recording how much I have been indebted to his Journal in the Peninsula from 1809 to 1814, and to his Narrative of Quatre Bras and Waterloo, in compiling this History. After a service of nearly thirty years in the 1st Battalion he left it in 1838, on promotion to an unattached majority, and died March 5, 1858. [168] ‘Supplementary Despatches,’ x. 537.
