Note 74 — Chapter XIV · 1859—THE END OF THE MUTINY
Reading edition
Extracts from a Report by General Somerset, to Assistant Adjutant-General:—
“Camp, Puchore, 15th April 1859.
“... my Brigade-Major, Lieutenant Wood, 17th Lancers, with whose previous services and conspicuous gallantry in action, the Major-General is already acquainted, ... as my only Staff officer he has shown the most unvaried zeal, particularly on occasions of rapid pursuit of the enemy, when his position did not admit of his taking advantage of the few short hours others had for rest.”
