FOOTNOTES:
[1] The Regimental Band at the date referred to in this chapter
consisted of a Bandmaster at 4_s._ per diem, and 8 private men, who were
borne on the strength of the companies at Woolwich.
[2] The Duke of Wellington, being at this time Master-General of the
Ordnance, invariably selected the artillery for reductions rather than
the cavalry and infantry.
[3] These were withdrawn about 1861.
[4] i. e. Amalgamation of Royal and Indian Artilleries.
[5] It is but just to say, that much that is good in the care of the
horses in the Royal Artillery in the field comes traditionally from the
Horse Artillery attached to the German hussars in the Peninsula: and the
riding of the Corps was first taught by a German riding-master brought
from Hanover by George III.--_Communicated by Sir D. E. Wood._
[6] In the year of Trafalgar, some artillerymen under Lieut. Robertson
served on board the ‘Victory’ with Nelson, in the West Indies.

[9] Afterwards Sir Edmund Curry.
[10] This Company’s Peninsular services were very distinguished.
[11] Although anticipating matters somewhat, the Author cannot resist
adding a few words with reference to the very distinguished services of
this--unhappily defunct--company during the Indian Mutiny. No. 3
Company, 8th Battalion, left Ceylon for India on the 11th June, 1857. It
was commanded by the 2nd Captain, Maude: Lieutenants Maitland and Dadson
were the other officers. After remaining a week in Calcutta, it
proceeded on the 20th June to join the force then being formed at
Allahabad under General Havelock. The strength of the company had been
reduced by cholera, &c., to 51. It marched with Havelock’s column to
Cawnpore, fighting on the way at Futtehpore, Pandu Nuddy, Avung, and
before Cawnpore. After remaining at Cawnpore a short time to recruit the
energies of his force, Havelock marched across the Ganges into Oude,
hoping to penetrate to Lucknow. He fought four actions, viz.: (1) Onao;
(2) Basarat Gunj; (3) Basarat Gunj; (4) Boorbeaki Choki, close to
Basarat Gunj, having to fall back from Basarat Gunj each time from
weakness. These four actions were fought on three successive
Wednesdays--the two first on the same day. He then returned to Cawnpore.
Reinforcements under Generals Neill and Outram began to arrive, and
during the end of August and beginning of September the force increased
to 3000 men. They therefore left Cawnpore on the 18th September (leaving
a small garrison), fighting at Mangalwarra and at Alumbagh, close to
Lucknow, and then prepared for the great struggle of entering the city.
After coming out of Lucknow, the company was reinforced by some
Artillerymen from England, and by Lieutenants A. Ford and S. Brown, and
remained at Alumbagh under Sir James Outram to hold the swarms of
natives in Lucknow in check. During this time frequent skirmishes and
two real actions took place, all ending in the natives being repulsed
with loss. In March, Lord Clyde came up with a large force, and the
company went to take Lucknow, forming part of the siege train, and being
told off to 18-pounders, 8-inch howitzers, and 5½-inch mortars. After
this, the company was engaged in a few affairs of minor importance in
Oude, until the country was pacified.
If it should be the Author’s privilege to write the History of the Royal
Artillery during the Indian Mutiny, he is fortunately in a position to
amplify the above sketch with instances of individual heroism and
suffering.
[12] The General Order referred to was issued by Sir John Stuart on the
6th July, 1806, and contains the following passage: “The Artillery were
well provided, and most effectually served, under the directions of
Major Lemoine, the Commandant of that corps.”
[13] The Bishop was a leading member of the Royal Council.
[14] The force had originally been destined for South America.
[15] Afterwards 8 Battery, 13 Brigade, but reduced on 1 Feb. 1871.
[16] Captain Wilmot was in command of the Company which is now D
Battery, 4th Brigade.
[17]
The Infantry force with the Expedition numbered 33,096
The Cavalry 3,015
Sir J. T. Jones, from whose work these numbers are taken, gives only the
_field_ and not also the _siege_ Artillery companies.
[18] The armament and numbering of these batteries differ from those
given in Sir J. T. Jones’s ‘Sieges;’ but as they are taken from Captain
Gardiner’s MS. diary--written in his own hand--they must be correct.
Probably they show the armament of the batteries when the bombardment
_commenced_; and Sir J. Jones may give the armament when at its maximum.
[19] From MS. return found among Sir A. Dickson’s papers.
[20] The Dutch Mayor’s French petition is peculiar; but it is given as
in the original.
[21] The officers of the Chestnut Troop on its arrival in the Peninsula,
were Captain--afterwards Sir H. D.--Ross, 2nd Captain G. Jenkinson,
Lieutenants G. J. Belson, J. Macdonald, and Smith, and Assistant-Surgeon
O’Brien. The following is a copy of the Embarkation Returns. _See next
page._
[22] The gallant Norman Ramsay was 2nd Captain of Bull’s troop.
[23] It will be observed that, as before stated, the Regiment had,
before the end of 1810, fallen below the establishment shown at pages
263-265.
[24] The Artillery of the Allies at Fuentes d’Onor was as follows:--
Royal Horse Artillery 12 guns.
Royal Artillery 12 ”
Portuguese Artillery 18 ”

SIR A. DICKSON’S MSS.
[25] In his notes on the various sieges in the Peninsula, Sir A. Dickson
frequently differs from Sir J. Jones’s well-known work. But as the
latter had more to do with engineering details, and as Sir A. Dickson’s
MSS. contain occasional marginal notes of later date, saying that his
statement is correct, and Sir J. Jones’s wrong, it has been decided to
accept his account, when differing from the latter work.
[26] _Vide_ note at Table B, p. 299.
[27] In answer to an inquiry from General Macleod about these guns,
Major Dickson, writing from Oporto, on 27 Aug. 1811, said: “They were
brass Portuguese guns of the time of John IV. and his son Alfonso,
bearing dates 1646, 1652, and 1653, &c.; also some Spanish guns of
Philips III. and IV.--dates 1620, 1636, &c.”
[28] This battering train consisted of 78 pieces, according to Sir J. T.
Jones, but, as will be seen presently, only 64 pieces went up the
country with Major Dickson from Oporto.
[29] Captain Thompson’s company--now D Battery, 11th Brigade--was
afterwards employed in the operations on the east of Spain.
[30] According to Sir J. Jones, the guns in action on the 19th were 29
24-prs. and 1 18-pr.; but Sir A. Dickson, who was in charge of the
Artillery, says as above. The difference is, however, infinitesimal.
[31] Sir J. Jones’s statement _includes_ the Portuguese Artillery.
[32] Now No. 7 Battery, 17th Brigade R.A., Captain Gardiner having been
posted _vice_ Raynsford.
[33] These numbers, which differ from those given by Napier, are taken
from the official MS. Regimental Returns prepared immediately after the
siege, which include all, even _slightly_ wounded. Doubtless many such
were not included in the Army returns.
[34] The rank of Lieut.-Colonel had at first been conferred on him by
the Portuguese government. He received the same--by brevet--from the
English Government on 27th April, 1812.
[35] Appointed Brevet Lieut.-Colonel on 27th April, 1812.
[36] “A few days after the battle of Salamanca, the troop of Horse
Artillery, under Captains Lefebure and Whinyates (which was on the Tagus
with Hill’s force), distinguished itself in a brilliant affair,
resulting in the total defeat of the French cavalry at Ribera.
Major-General Long, who commanded, spoke in the highest terms of all the
troops under his command, particularly the Horse Artillery, who
displayed great activity in their movements, and rapidity in their
fire.”--BROWNE.
[37] “On the 10th August an engagement took place with a body of the
enemy’s cavalry which had been sent forward to watch the movements of
the Allies. This force was driven in by General D’Urban, but made
another attack. General D’Urban ordered the Portuguese cavalry, with
which was Captain Macdonald’s troop of Horse Artillery, to charge.
Before reaching the enemy they were seized with panic and fled, leaving
Macdonald’s guns, which had been moved forward in support, utterly
unprotected. The exertions of the troop got the guns moved off, but
owing to the state of the ground, three got damaged and fell with
Captain Dynely and their detachments into the enemy’s hands.”--BROWNE.
[38] “The total expenditure of ammunition during the siege was as
follows:--
920 24-pr. round shot.
1854 18-pr. ”
333 French 8-pr. round shot.
90 ” 6-pr. ”
288 French 4-pr. round shot.
203 24-pr. common shell.
182 ” spherical case.
192 French 6-pr. shot.”
--JONES’S ‘Peninsular Sieges.’
[39] As will be seen, on reference to the chapter on the Old Tenth
Battalion, Captain Cairnes had also to give up to the pontoon train his
second supply of horses in the end of this year.
[40] It would appear from Sir A. Frazer’s letters that Webber Smith’s
troop was for a time attached to the Hussars, but ultimately to the 7th
Division, in lieu of Captain Gardiner’s troop, which joined the Hussar
Brigade.
[41] Passages de la Calçada.
[42] Jones’s ‘Peninsular Sieges’ would appear to err here:--and to show
one gun less than the real number in No. 4 Battery.
[43] “The number of rounds expended during the second operation was
43,112. The strength of the Artillery (including 187 Portuguese) was
681. The casualties amounted to 7 _killed_ and 31 _wounded_.”--JONES’S
‘Peninsular Sieges.’
[44] In the end of January 1814, after giving over the horses to the
pontoons, 460 were deficient for the Artillery, and 200 others were sick
or worn out. To meet this deficiency, 500 had been promised, and were to
leave England in February.
[45] Sir A. Dickson, being only _regimentally_ a 1st Captain, had been
appointed to the command of G Troop, on Sir A. Frazer’s promotion; and
in his absence in America, Captain Mercer held the command. At Waterloo,
Sir A. Dickson was otherwise employed.
[46]
[Sidenote: Communicated by Sir D. E. Wood, K.C.B., &c. &c.]
In recent times, the most remarkable march made by Artillery was on one
occasion during the Indian Mutiny, when a battery of R.H.A. marched 78
miles in 24 hours, and continued marching, elephants carrying the
forage.
[47] Many of the guns at Waterloo actually became unserviceable _from
incessant firing_.
[48] The casualties at Waterloo promoted Captain Mercer to the rank of
1st Captain.
[49] Although a Colonel in the army, Sir George Wood was only a
Regimental Lieutenant-Colonel in 1815.
[50] This seems the must probable solution of the difficulty.
[51] At this time, according to the Duke’s letter, he had nothing but
his reserve Artillery, the rest having quitted the field!
