Note 219 — TEL-EL-KEBIR. September 13th, 1882.

Among the officers killed was the gallant Lieutenant Wyatt-Rawson, R.N., who had guided the Highland Brigade by the stars, throughout the night, and was among the first to enter the Egyptian works. He was Naval aide-de-camp to Sir G. Wolseley, to whom his last words were “Didn’t I lead them straight, General!” Major Strong and Captain Wardell, of the Royal Marines, were both shot dead while leading and cheering on their men up the glacis, within twenty yards of the enemy.
