Edmund L’Estrange was a hero in every sense of the word. He was eldest son of Capt. Anthony L’Estrange of the 88th Regt.—one of the Irish representatives of the ancient family of Le Strange, of Hunstanton, co. Norfolk. Was A.D.C. to Sir Denis Pack in the Par. War, and his especial gallantry, on several occasions, attracted the notice of Wellington. Made a brevet maj. at the early age of 26. His right leg was shattered by a round shot at Waterloo, and he died soon after suffering amputation. Had he lived, a great future was in store for him. A pension was granted to his mother whom he had supported. MAJOR OF BRIGADE. Bt.-Maj. Chas. Smyth, 95th Foot, K. Bn. 8th Jan., 1786. Distinguished himself in the Par.

Succeeded to the command of the British troops before New Orleans, in Jan. 1815, on the deaths of Generals Pakenham and Gibbs, who nobly fell whilst heading an attack on the “Crescent City.” The disorganised state of the British troops, and the utter impracticability of forcing the American entrenchments, induced General Lambert to retreat, which he was able to do without meeting with any opposition, having captured Fort Bowyer. With their natural love of exaggeration, the Americans magnified both their victory and our defeat:—
