Reading edition
From Major-General Sir H. Barnard, Commanding Field Force, to the Adjutant-General of the Army.
"Camp, Delhi, June 16th, 1857.
"Sir,—While inclosing for the information of the Commander-in-Chief the reports of the late attack made by the enemy on the force under my command, I would wish to bring to his notice the assistance I have received in every way from the services of Lieut. W. S. Hodson, 1st Bengal European Fusileers.
"Since the arrival of his regiment at Umbâla, up to the present date, his untiring energy and perpetual anxiety to assist me in any way in which his services might be found useful, have distinguished him throughout, and are now my reasons for bringing this officer thus specially to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief.
(Signed) "H. M. Barnard, Major-General."
