CAMPAIGN, 1858."
THE
following notes are appended, b}' way of correction
or addition, to the account already published, as the
result of correspondence with brother officers still survi\'ing,
to whom copies of the little book was sent. D. W.
Inverness, January, 1S92.
Pages 3 and 4 of book (pages 659-60, Vol. II., of
magazine)—Lw/ of Officers and Sergeants.— It is very diffi-
cult, after the lapse of so many years, to ascertain correctly
to which Companies the subalterns and sergeants belonged
in 1857-58. Some changes were made soon after landing
in India, and as time rolled on many changes were made,
and one associates a particular individual with a given
Compan}', but feels uncertain as to the date. I was myself
in charge, in different years, of Xo. i. No. 9, and the
Grenadiers, though I belonged to the latter Compan\' from
the time I rejoined from sick leave, early in i860.
I have no doubt as to the officers of the Grenadiers,
Light Company, Xo. i, and Xo. 6 ; the\^ were as stated
Those of Xo. 2 were probably Capt. Maitland, Lieuts.
Cleather and F. P. Campbell ; of X^o. 3, Capt. Turner
Lieuts. Mackesey and Crawford, and Ens. Lord Louth ; of
Xo. 4, Capt. Percival, Lieuts. De Carteret and M'Murdo
and Ens. J. B. Campbell ; of X^o. 5, Capt. Miller, Lieut.
Allen, and Ens. Dougal ; of X'^o. 7, Capt. Leith, Lieut
Alleyne, and Ens. M'Causland ;
of Xo. 8, Capt. Currie,
Lieuts. Xeil Campbell and Gawne.
Capt. Leith and Ens. M'Causland were on board the
•" Louisiana," with part of X^o. 7 Company ; Lieut. Alleyne
and the remainder, in the " Tyburnia." Lieut. De Carteret
