Note 50 — REGIMENTAL LISTS.

The following creditable conduct of this young officer is narrated by Capt. Moorsom in the History of the 52nd:—“Ensign John Montague was ordered to the rear with a detachment of invalids a few days before Waterloo, and had gone back a day’s march, when he met a party proceeding to the front to join the 52nd. As an engagement was daily expected he asked the date of commission of the young officer proceeding to Waterloo, and, finding himself the senior, assumed command of the whole—directed the junior to proceed with the invalids, while he (Montague) returned to his regt. By so doing he was able to be present at the great conflict.” Capt. in 40th Regt. 7th Aug., 1823. Living 1830.
