Note 386 — 1841.

Was pensioned at 2s. a-day in January, 1851. In the corps he served nearly twenty-four years, of which period he was seventeen and a-half abroad, at Corfu, the Euphrates, Gibraltar, Syria, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. His great merits obtained for him the grant of an annuity of 10l. a-year, and a silver medal, and an appointment as messenger to the commanding royal engineer’s office, in the London district. Through Lieutenant-Colonel Aldrich, his commanding-officer in Syria, he was also appointed a yeoman of the Queen’s Guard. The emoluments derived by him from these different sources, amounting to about 160l. a-year, with excellent quarters, are the hard and just earnings of a life full of vicissitude and devotion to the service.
