Reading edition

Lieutenant-Colonel Pennefather was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, with the rank of Colonel, in 1846, the honor having been deferred until this period in consequence of his short standing as a Lieutenant-Colonel in 1843, the year in which the victories of Meeanee and Hyderabad were gained.

Colonel Pennefather exchanged to the Twenty-eighth Regiment, with Lieut.-Colonel S. J. Cotton, on the 2nd December, 1847, and becoming supernumerary on the arrival of the Twenty-eighth regiment from India in 1848, was placed on half-pay. In August, 1848, Colonel Pennefather was appointed to serve on the Staff of the army in Ireland.
