Siborne makes the following mention of this officer in his
history:—“The ensign carrying the regimental colour of the 32nd was
sev. wnded. Lt. Belcher, who commanded the left centre sub-division,
took it from him. In the next moment it was seized by a French officer
whose horse had just been shot under him. A struggle ensued between
him and Lt. Belcher; but while the former was attempting to draw his
sword, the covering colour-sergt. (named Switzer) gave him a thrust in
the breast with his halbert, and the right-hand man of the
sub-division (named Lacy) shot him.”
