Reading edition
Extract from the Despatch of Brigadier Hope Grant, Commanding Cavalry Division.
"Head-Quarters, Delhi, Sept. 17th, 1857.
"The behavior of the Native Cavalry was also admirable. Nothing could be steadier, nothing more soldierlike, than their bearing. Lieutenant Hodson commanded a corps raised by himself, and he is a first-rate officer, brave, determined, and clear-headed."
