He performed the duty well, and was highly spoken of the following morning by the late Captain Maunsell. Was also one of the party on the Woronzoff-road on the 2nd of August, 1855, when a sortie of the Russians, reported to consist of 2,000 men, attacked the chevaux-de-frise.

Lieutenant Smyth, in command of the party, asked for volunteers to accompany him and ascertain the cause, and states that Lawrence Lind, Martin Lyons, and M'Cluskey, of the light company, cheerfully volunteered to accompany him, and they brought in a wounded sergeant of the 38th Foot, who had been lying for fifteen hours at some distance from the Cemetery in advance. The party attracted the attention of the enemy, and consequently had to perform the duty under a heavy fire, and approached very close to the Russian sentries. On another occasion Major Leckie states that Lawrence Lind volunteered his services to go out in advance of the ordinary sentries, under trying circumstances.

Sergeant George Pegram-Almost every officer has on various occasions spoken most highly of the service in the trenches of Sergeant Pegram, as a remarkably brave, willing, and forward non-commissioned officer.

On the 29th March, when a part of the guard went, before it was dark, towards the Woronzoff-road, under Captain Baird, and brought on a fire from which Colour-Sergeant James Rodd lost his life, Ryan is reported to have been one of four men who behaved remarkably well. On the 25th of April he was on sentry on the chevaux-de-frise on the Woronzoff-road when the enemy opened a heavy fire, and remained at his post steadily and attracted attention by his good conduct. On the 2nd of August, on the occasion of the large sortie referred to in Michael Bugle's case, Ryan was on sentry, and when driven in kept retreating up the hill on one side of the ravine, and continued firing on the Russians till they finally abandoned the attack. He was wounded on the 23rd of May, when going to the trenches, in the thigh, by a splinter from a shell.

Private John M'Carthy-Served in the trenches from the arrival of the regiment in the Crimea, on 12th of November, 1854, till the fall of Sebastopol, on the 9th of September, 1855, and was present with the regiment on all occasions of its being engaged against the enemy during that period. Was severely wounded at the attack on the Redan on the 8th of September, 1855.

63RD FOOT.-Sergeant-Major Robert Hughes-Distinguished himself in the trenches before Sebastopol, 3rd of October, 1855, being with a company of the regiment far in advance to cover a working party, and the company being exposed to a cross fire; he showed great coolness and intrepidity, keeping the men steady and firm; and subsequently, the colours of the regiment having been brought from the camp by a company left to guard them, and afterwards ordered out, he took one of the colours, and earried it under a heavy fire. He was wounded at Inkermann, but, notwithstanding, was very instrumental in defending an officer of the regiment who had been severely wounded. He continued with his regiment the whole war.

Colour-Sergeant James Ward-When in the trenches on a sortie of the enemy, which excited some alarm, immediately went round the sentries, and posted himself with the most advanced one, and took a prominent part in repulsing the enemy, maintaining the character he had acquired during previous engagements. Colour-Sergeant William Morris-At the battle of Inkermann, finding himself far in advance, with a number of men, he collected them, took the command, and, though attacked by superior numbers, he maintained his post, repulsing the attacking party.

Sergeant William Ahern-During the battle of Inkermann a portion of the regiment in their ardour having gone beyond their position, and on their return it being known that Ensign Clutterbuck was killed, and that his body was left on the field, Sergeant Ahern instantly volunteered to fetch it, and, being accompanied by a private, he went far in advance, and brought in the body. On the same day, the only officer of his company being wounded, he took the command of the company, and held it during the charge, maintaining discipline and conduct.

Private John M'Gowan-At the battle of Inkermann behaved in a particularly gallant and bold manner, charging, forwarding, and being the first to clear a breastwork in pursuit of the enemy. In the trenches he exhibited a cool and dauntless bearing on every occasion of danger.

Private Daniel Sullivan-One of his comrades being made prisoner at the battle of Inkermann by five of the enemy, he rushed at them, killed three, and rescued his comrade. He was in the battle, and on every occasion, whether in the trenches or in open field, distinguished for his valour and spirit.
