THE Right Honorable the Governor-General is pleased to direct the publication of the following letter from the Adjutant-General of the Army, No. 478A, dated 7th July, 1858, bringing to notice the services of the Military Train, which were not prominently stated in the despatches published regarding Lucknow. No. 2. The Adjutant-General of the Army to the Secretary of the Government of India, Military Department, with the Governor-General. SIR, Head-Quarters, Allahabad, No. 478A. IT having been brought to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief, that the services of the 2nd Battalion Military Train, under Lieutenant-Colonel J. P. Robertson, have not been adequately acknowledged in the despatches connected with the relief of Lucknow, in November, 1857, and the capture of that city in March last, his Excellency desires to rectify these omissions. 2. The Military Train joined the force, under the personal orders of the Commander-in-Chief, just prior to the relief of Lucknow, and, with portions of Her Majesty's 9th Lancers and Punjaub Cavalry, under Brigadier A. Little, was usefully and actively employed at the Dilkhoosha in protecting the stores and covering the rear of the troops engaged in the relief of the residency, during which period the cavalry were daily engaged with the enemy. 3. At the capture of Lucknow, the Military Train again rendered good and gallant service, particularly on the occasion of an attack made on our troops at Alum Bagh, on the 16th March, when a very large force of the enemy's horse was kept in check and regulsed, principallly by the fire of artillery, aided by the bold countenance shown by the Military Train. 4. His Excellency has pleasure in bearing witness to the efficient service rendered by the 2nd Battalion Military Train, and while recommending the Corps to the favorable consideration of the Right Honorable the Governor-General, trusts that his Lordship will order steps to be taken to rectify the omission of acknowledgements for the services of the corps in the despatches above adverted to. I have, &c., W. MAYHEW, Lieutenant-Colonel, R. J. H. BIRCH, Colonel, Secretary to the Government of India, THE Right Honorable the Governor-General is pleased to direct the publication of the following despatch from the Adjutant-General of the Army, No. 486A, dated 8th July, 1858, forwarding one from Major-General Sir H.
