APPENDIX IX.
GENERAL ORDER, No. 1, CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 30, 1854.
“The Queen having been graciously pleased to appoint General Lord
Raglan, G.C.B., to be Commander of the Forces to be employed in
Turkey in support of Her Ally, His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, and
His Lordship having arrived, all reports, etc., are to be made to
him through the channels prescribed by Her Majesty’s Regulations.
“The Commander of the Forces avails himself of the earliest
opportunity to impress upon the Army the necessity of maintaining
the strictest discipline, of respecting persons and property and the
laws and usages of the country they have been sent to aid and
defend, and particularly of avoiding to enter Mosques, Churches, and
private dwellings of a people whose habits are peculiar and unlike
those of the other nations of Europe.
“Lord Raglan fully relies upon the General and other Officers of the
Army to afford him their support in the repression of disorder, and
he confidently hopes that the troops themselves, anxious to maintain
the character they have acquired elsewhere, will endeavour to become
the example of obedience to orders and of attention to discipline,
without which success is impossible, and their presence would be an
evil instead of an advantage to those whose cause their Sovereign
has deemed it proper to espouse.
“The Army will for the first time be associated with an Ally to whom
it has been the lot of the British nation to be opposed in the field
for many centuries.
“The gallantry and high military qualities of the French Army are
matters of history, and the alliance which has now been formed,
will, the Commander of the Forces trusts, be of long duration, as
well as productive of the most important and the happiest
consequences.
“Lord Raglan is aware, from personal communication with the
distinguished Officer who is appointed to command the French Army,
Marshal St. Arnaud, and many of the Superior Officers, that every
disposition exists throughout their ranks to cultivate the best
understanding with the British Army, and to co-operate most warmly
with it, and he entertains no doubt that Her Majesty’s troops are
animated by the same spirit, and that the first ambition of each
Army will be, to acquire the confidence and good opinion of the
other.
“By Command,
“(Signed) J. BUCKNALL B. ESTCOURT,
“Brigadier-General and D. A. General.”
APPENDIX X.
DEATH OF FIELD-MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN, G.C.B.
1.
GENERAL ORDER, HORSE GUARDS, JULY 4, 1855.[484]
“The General Commanding-in-Chief has received Her Majesty’s most
gracious Commands to express to the Army the deep regret with which
Her Majesty has to deplore the loss of a most devoted and able
Officer by the death of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, the Commander of
the Forces in the Crimea.
“Her Majesty has been pleased to command that her sentiments shall
be communicated to the Army, in order that the military career of so
illustrious an Officer shall be recorded, not only as an honourable
testimony of Her Majesty’s sense of his eminent services, and the
respect due to his memory, but as an example worthy of imitation by
all ranks of her Army.
“Selected by the Duke of Wellington to be his Military Secretary and
Aide-de-camp, he took part, nearly fifty years ago, in all the
military achievements of our greatest Commander. From him Lord
Raglan adopted, as the guiding principle of his life, a constant,
undeviating obedience to the call of duty.
“During a long peace, his life was most usefully employed in those
unwearied attentions to the interests and welfare of the Army, shown
by the kindness, the impartiality, and justice, with which he
transacted all his duties.
“When war broke out last year, he was selected by his Sovereign to
take command of the Army proceeding to the East; he never
hesitated—he obeyed the summons, although he had reached an age when
an Officer may be disposed to retire from active duties in the
field.
“At the head of the troops during the arduous operations of the
campaign, he resumed the early habits of his life; by his calmness
in the hottest moments of the battle, and by his quick perception in
taking advantage of the ground, or the movements of the enemy, he
won the confidence of his Army and performed great and brilliant
services.
“In the midst of a winter’s campaign, in a severe climate, and
surrounded by difficulties, he never despaired.
-----
Footnote 484:
Kinglake, _Invasion of the Crimea_, viii. 283.
-----
“The heroic Army, whose fortitude amidst the severest privations is
recognised by Her Majesty as beyond all praise, have shown their
attachment to their Commander by the deep regrets with which they
now mourn his loss.
“Her Majesty is confident that the talents and virtues which
distinguished Lord Raglan throughout the whole of his valuable life,
will for ever endear his memory to the British Army.
“By Command of General the Right Hon. Viscount Hardinge,
“Commanding-in-Chief.
“(Signed) G. A. WETHERALL,
“Adjutant-General.”
2.
FRENCH ARMY OF THE EAST, NO. 15 GENERAL ORDER.[485]
“Death has suddenly taken away, while in full exercise of his
command, the Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, and has plunged the British
in mourning.
“We all share the sorrow of our brave Allies. Those who knew Lord
Raglan, who knew the history of his life—so noble, so pure, so
replete with service rendered to his country—those who witnessed his
fearless demeanour at Alma and Inkerman, who recall the calm and
stoic greatness of his character throughout this rude and memorable
campaign, every generous heart indeed, will deplore the loss of such
a man. The sentiments here expressed by the General-in-chief, are
those of the whole Army. He has himself been cruelly struck by this
unlooked-for blow.
“The public grief only increases his sorrow at being for ever
separated from a companion-in-arms, whose genial spirit he loved,
whose virtues he admired, and from whom he has always received the
most loyal and hearty co-operation.
“(Signed) A. PÉLISSIER,
“Commander-in-chief.”

Footnote 488:
This table is not absolutely correct, as it accounts only for 691
instead of 699 Non-commissioned officers and men, who fell in the
war, either killed, or wounded, or by disease. According to Dr.
Wyatt, who does not classify the casualties by months, the total
losses were 81 killed in action, 54 died of wounds, and 564 died
by disease, or 699 men. But the above return has been given, as it
indicates sufficiently the months during which the bulk of the men
lost their lives.

APPENDIX XIII.
THE VICTORIA CROSS.
This, the most honourable and coveted Order that can distinguish a
British soldier, was instituted by Her Majesty the Queen by Royal
Warrant, dated January 29, 1856, for the purpose of rewarding
Officers and men of the naval and military services, who, while
serving their Sovereign in the presence of the enemy, perform “some
signal act of valour or devotion to their country.” The decoration,
conferred upon those whose deeds of bravery, during naval operations
or on the field, entitle them to belong to this highly prized Order,
is called the Victoria Cross, and consists of a Maltese Cross of
bronze, bearing the motto “For Valour,” which is suspended—on the
wearer’s breast to the right of every other medal,—by a blue riband
in the Navy, and by a red riband in the Army. The Order is open to
every soldier and sailor, entirely irrespective of rank, of long
service, or of wounds received in battle; it is bestowed only where
“the merit of conspicuous bravery shall be held to establish a
sufficient claim to the honour.” Should a man obtain the Victoria
Cross, and again be adjudged worthy of the same distinction, a bar
is added (like a clasp) to the riband, and so on for every other act
of bravery. Warrant and Petty officers and seamen of the Navy, and
Non-commissioned officers and men of the Army receive an annuity of
£10 for the Victoria Cross, and £5 additional a year for every bar
they may obtain.[489]

ROLL OF THE VICTORIA CROSS IN THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.
NO. 1. BREVET-MAJOR GERALD LITTLEHALES GOODLAKE.
For distinguished gallantry whilst in command of the sharpshooters
furnished by the Coldstream Guards on October 26, 1854, on the
occasion of the “powerful _sortie_ on the Second Division,” when he
held the Windmill [Careenage] Ravine below the Piquet-house, against
a much larger force of the enemy. The party of sharpshooters then
under his command killed thirty-eight (one an Officer), and took
three prisoners of the enemy (of the latter, one an Officer), Major
Goodlake being the sole Officer in command. Also for distinguished
gallantry on the occasion of the surprise of a piquet of the enemy,
in November, 1854, at the bottom of the Windmill Ravine, by the
sharpshooters, under his sole leading and command, when the
knapsacks and rifles of the enemy’s party fell into his hands.
NO. 2. NO. 3968 PRIVATE WILLIAM STANLOCK.
For having volunteered, when employed as one of the sharpshooters in
October, 1854, for reconnoitering purposes, to crawl up within six
yards of a Russian sentry, and so enabled the Officer in command to
effect a surprise; Private Stanlock having been warned beforehand of
the imminent risk which he would run in the adventure.
NO. 3. NO. 4787 PRIVATE GEORGE STRONG.
For having, when on duty in the trenches, in the month of September,
1855, removed a live shell from the place where it had fallen.
NO. 4. BREVET-MAJOR JOHN AUGUSTUS CONOLLY.
In the attack by the Russians against the position held by the
Second Division, October 26, 1854, Major Conolly, then a Lieutenant
in the 49th Regiment, while in command of a company of that
regiment, on outlying piquet, made himself conspicuous by the
gallantry of his behaviour. He came particularly under the
observation of the late Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, while in personal
encounter with several Russians, in defence of his post. He
ultimately fell, dangerously wounded. Lieutenant Conolly was highly
praised in General Orders, and promoted into the Coldstream Guards
as a reward for his exemplary behaviour on this occasion.
NOTE.—Captain Hon. R. Campbell would have been fifth on this list,
had he survived his act of bravery. The following gives the
circumstances under which Lieut. Lysons and Private Fowler (90th
Regiment), who gallantly followed Captain Campbell, obtained the
Victoria Cross: “On the 28th March, 1879, during the assault of the
Inhlobane Mountain, Sir Evelyn Wood ordered the dislodgement of
certain Zulus (who were causing the troops much loss) from strong
natural caves commanding the position in which some of the wounded
were lying. Some delay occurring in the execution of the orders
issued, Captain Hon. Ronald Campbell, Coldstream Guards, followed by
Lieut. Lysons, A.D.C., and Private Fowler, ran forward in the most
determined manner, and advanced over a mass of fallen boulders, and
between walls of rock, which led to a cave in which the enemy lay
hidden. It being impossible for two men to walk abreast, the
assailants were consequently obliged to keep in single file, and, as
Captain Campbell was leading, he arrived first at the mouth of the
cave, from which the Zulus were firing, and there met his death.
Lieut. Lysons and Private Fowler, who were following close behind
him, immediately dashed at the cave, from which led several
subterranean passages, and firing into the chasm below, succeeded in
forcing the occupants to forsake their stronghold. Lieut. Lysons
remained at the cave’s mouth for some minutes after the attack,
during which time Captain Campbell’s body was carried down the
slopes.”[490]
-----
Footnote 490:
_Hart’s Army List_, 1896, p. 270 (_a_). Sir E. Wood states in the
account, “One of the Bravest Deeds I ever saw” (_Pearson’s
Magazine_, February, 1896), already alluded to (_ante_, p. 337),
that Captain Campbell fully recognised the risk to the leading man
who should try to enter the Zulu stronghold, and when there was a
delay in the execution of the order, he called out, “Then I will
do it myself,” and, jumping over a low wall, ran forward in the
manner mentioned above.

EXTRACTS FROM GENERAL ORDERS ISSUED AFTER THE
BATTLE OF TEL EL-KEBIR.
HEAD-QUARTERS, TEL EL-KEBIR, SEPTEMBER 14, 1882.
“The following telegram has been received from Her Majesty by the
General Officer the Commander-in-chief:—
“‘The Queen sends Her warmest congratulations, and thanks God for
victory. Express to all my admiration, and sympathy and sorrow for
heavy loss.’”
HEAD-QUARTERS, CAIRO, SEPTEMBER 16, 1882.
“1. Her Majesty desires to convey to Her Army hearty congratulations
on the bloodless occupation of Cairo, on the capture of Arabi, and
other rebels against the authority of the Khedive, and on the
termination of a campaign in which Her brave troops have so greatly
distinguished themselves.
“2. The General Commander-in-chief directs the following orders be
read and explained to the men at three consecutive parades:—
“The Army-Corps in Egypt will shortly be assembled in Cairo. Its
discipline will now be subjected to a scrutiny the more searching
because fatigue and privation nobly borne and victory brilliantly
achieved will naturally direct upon it the attention of the
civilized world.
“The General Commander-in-chief therefore appeals to all ranks to
show, by a strict attention to duty and discipline, that it is not
only in the field that the British Army is distinguished.
“It must be remembered that the Army is here in Cairo as the friend
of the people of Cairo, whom it has relieved from the despotism of
rebellion.
“3. The police and gendarmerie are not to be disarmed, but, on the
contrary, are in every way to be assisted and supported in their
authority.
“The soldiery has already been disarmed so far as is considered
necessary.
“4. No soldier will be allowed to leave barracks, except on duty,
until 4 p.m. Sergeants must be posted at the gates to see that no
one goes out improperly dressed. Belts must be pipeclayed. Tattoo
will be sounded at 8 p.m., and patrols sent out until all men are
brought to barracks. Passes are not to be given for any hour later
than 10 p.m., and very sparingly. In the event of any drunkenness or
outrage or breaking into houses being reported, the regiment
complained of will be immediately marched two miles outside the town
to Abrasia, and there quartered as long as the Army is at Cairo.”
HEAD-QUARTERS, CAIRO, SEPTEMBER 17, 1882.
“The General Commanding-in-chief congratulates the Army serving in
Egypt upon the brilliant success which has crowned its efforts in
the campaign terminated on the 14th inst., by the surrender of the
citadel of Cairo and of Arabi Pasha, the chief rebel in arms against
the authority of His Highness the Khedive. In the space of
twenty-five days the Army has effected its disembarkation at
Ismailia, has traversed the desert to Zagazig, and has occupied the
capital of Egypt. It has fought and defeated the enemy five times:
on the 24th of August, at El-Magfar; on the 25th of August, at Tel
el-Makhuta and at Mahsama; on the 28th of August and on the 9th of
September, at Kassassin; and, finally, on the 13th of September, at
Tel el-Kebir, where, after an arduous night march, it inflicted upon
him an overwhelming defeat, storming his strongly entrenched
position at the point of the bayonet, and capturing all his guns,
about 60 in number. In recapitulating the events which have marked
this short and decisive campaign, the General Commanding-in-chief
feels proud to place upon record the fact that these brilliant
achievements are to be ascribed to the high military courage and
noble devotion to duty which have animated all ranks under his
command. Called upon to show discipline under exceptional
privations, to give proof of fortitude in extreme toil, and to show
contempt of danger in battle, the General Officers, Officers,
Non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the Army have responded
with zealous alacrity, adding another chapter to the long roll of
British victories.”[492]
-----
Footnote 492:
It is stated in the _Official Account_ , p. 106, that, “on the 4th
of October, the General had issued a congratulatory order,
complimenting the troops alike upon their conduct in the campaign
and upon their behaviour as conquerors in Cairo.” This order is
not given in the above work; and as it is not to be found in the
Battalion Order-book, it has not been possible to reproduce it in
this volume.

EXTRACT OF REPORT ON ARMY SIGNALLING IN EGYPT.
“To Lieutenant Lovell, Coldstream Guards, and Sergeant Dunster and
men, my thanks are due for their willing and most efficient help
rendered on more than one occasion. With the assistance of
Lieutenant Lovell and a party of signallers, Coldstream Guards, to
whom I am much indebted for most efficient help, communication was
opened from Kassassin Lock to Ismailia. Sergeant Dunster, in charge
of this party, rendered very good service, both on this station and
later at Cairo.”
