[30] The five 1st Battalion companies had thus been _eleven months_ on board ship. [31] The three companies of the 2nd Battalion at Monte Video had been engaged, on June 7, at San Pedro, when Major Gardner and Assistant-Surgeon Turner, 1 sergeant and 26 rank and file were wounded. I find no particulars of this affair beyond the mention of it, and the casualties, in the Record of the 2nd Battalion. [32] ‘Brigadier Craufurd’s Evidence on Whitelocke’s Court-martial,’ p. 335-6. [33] Two majors, 5 captains, 19 subalterns, 3 staff, 24 sergeants, 12 buglers, and 495 rank and file of the Rifle Corps (including the wounded) surrendered to the enemy. ‘Return in Whitelocke’s Court-Martial,’ Appendix, p. 45. [34] Lieutenant Patrick Turner died of his wounds. [35] Major-General Sir Dudley St. Leger Hill, K.C.B., died February 21, 1851. [36] ‘Annual Register,’ xlix.; ‘London Gazette,’ September 13, 1807; and Record of the 1st Battalion. This narrative is evidently drawn up by an eye-witness: no doubt Sir Amos Norcott, by whom the regimental Record is signed. [37] ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. 4. [38] ‘Supplementary Despatches,’ vi. 10. It is strange that no mention of their services in this expedition appears in the 1st Battalion Record. That of the 2nd Battalion mentions only the casualties on the 17th before Copenhagen. [39] ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. 4. [40] Surtees, 60-72. Leach, 28-38. ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. and: Supplementary Despatches,’ vi. [41] Major-General Sir John Ross, K.C.B., died April 31, 1835. [42] Major-General Sir Alexander Cameron, K.C.B., died July 20, 1850. [43] ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. 28. [44] Ibid. iv. 27. [45] Ibid. iv. 77. [46] ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. 94. [47] Afterwards Major-General Sir Hercules R. Pakenham, K.C.B. The Duke of Wellington, applying for his promotion on October 15 following, mentions his being wounded in this affair, and adds ‘that he is really one of the best officers of Riflemen that I have seen.’ (‘Supplementary Despatches,’vi. 160.) He was his brother-in-law. He remained in the Regiment till 1810. [48] ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. 95. [49] ‘Supplementary Despatches,’ vi. 115. [50] Properly _Roliça_. I retain the name granted to the Regiment, and borne on its badge. [51] Leach, 47. [52] At Kinsale, where is this inscription in the church: SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF LIEUTENANT THOMAS COCHRANE OF THE RIFLE BRIGADE. HE DIED IIND OF JULY MDCCCXXIII., AGED XXXIV. YEARS. AS A SOLDIER HIS ZEAL, GALLANTRY, AND INTELLIGENCE RENDERED HIM VALUABLE TO HIS COUNTRY; AS A MAN HIS PRIVATE VIRTUES, EMBRACING EVERY ENNOBLING AND ENDEARING QUALIFICATION, SECURED TO HIM THE ESTEEM AND LASTING ATTACHMENT OF HIS BROTHER OFFICERS, WHO HAVE RAISED THIS MONUMENT TO HIS MEMORY. [53] Leach, 50, who was on this picquet. [54] ‘Wellington Despatches,’ iv. III; and ‘Supplementary Despatches,’ vi. 121.
