WARRANT FOR FORMATION OF THE FIRST COMPANY OF THE CORPS.
GEORGE R.
Whereas it hath been represented by the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Chief Engineer of our garrison and fortress of Gibraltar, that many advantages would arise to our service if the fortifications, buildings, and repairs in that place, which are under the department of the Ordnance, were performed and carried on for the future by a military company of artificers, and that besides a saving of expense, the said company, by being subject to military command and discipline, would be more orderly and regular in their behaviour than has been hitherto experienced in the hired artificers employed there: Our will and pleasure therefore is that a company of artificers be forthwith raised, formed, and from time to time recruited with such soldiers serving in any of our regiments doing duty at Gibraltar, as may be fit for that purpose, being volunteers, and having the consent of the Colonels or Field Officers commanding such regiments respectively, or with any other men properly qualified, who shall have been bred to the trades of stonecutters, masons, miners, lime-burners, carpenters, smiths, wheelers, or gardeners, and who shall be duly enlisted in the said company, which shall not exceed the number of sixty-eight, non-commissioned officers and drummers included, with the respective pays mentioned in the establishment hereunto annexed. Our will and pleasure also is, that as soon as the said Company is raised and completed, you do cause them to be employed in performing and carrying on the fortifications, buildings, and repairs at Gibraltar, and to be instructed and paid, from time to time, by the paymaster of the Ordnance there, upon the same footing as the rest of our troops in that garrison are paid. And you are to cause such of the artificers hired in England, and now employed on the works at Gibraltar, as shall not enlist in the said company, to be sent back to England as soon as the nature of the service will admit. Our further will and pleasure is, that the said company shall be under the command and direction of the chief engineer of the said garrison for the time being, who is hereby appointed captain of the said company, and of such engineer or engineers serving at Gibraltar, as he shall find necessary for his assistance in the command of the said company. And we do hereby authorize you to pay, or cause to be paid, unto the non-commissioned officers and private men composing the said company, such allowance per diem for working money as you shall think fit, not exceeding two reals per diem each for the days they are actually employed on the fortifications, works, and repairs, over and above their established pay; the expense of the whole to be inserted in your estimates, and to be presented to Parliament.
Lastly, we do hereby require the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, or Officer commanding in our said Garrison now and for the time being, to be aiding and assisting to the utmost of their power in carrying these our orders into execution; and for so doing, this shall be as well to you, as to them, and to all others concerned, a sufficient warrant.
Given at our Court of St. James’, the 6th day of March, 1772, in the 12th year of our Reign. By His Majesty’s command, (Signed) ROCHFORD.
_To our Trusty and well-beloved Councillor Henry Seymour Conway, Lieutenant-General of our Ordnance, and to the rest of the principal Officers of the same, and to the Master-General, Lieutenant-General, and the principal Officers of our Ordnance for the time being._
ESTABLISHMENT of a MILITARY COMPANY of ARTIFICERS to serve in the GARRISON and FORTRESS of GIBRALTAR.

” WILLIAM YOUNG }
June 26. THOMAS CONNOLLY } Still serving in the corps.
Dec. 17. MICHAEL BRADFORD }
COMMISSIONED INTO OTHER CORPS.
1796 May 1. JOHN JOHNSON, enlisted March 13, 1788, and attached to the Portsmouth company. Was commissioned in the 29th foot as ensign.
Oct. GEORGE ROSS, enlisted July 31, 1788, and attached to the Gosport company. Was appointed lieutenant in the Carnarvon militia.
1799 May 22. MATTHEW SINGLETON, enlisted into the corps as sergeant-major, September 10, 1798, and promoted to the 46th regiment as quartermaster.
1828 Jan. 24. THOMAS TOWNSEND, commissioned as second lieutenant and adjutant of the second battalion 60th regiment. Ultimately he received a captaincy in the same regiment. A few years later he sold out, and is now a barrackmaster in the Ordnance department at Gibraltar.
1851 Sept. 23. EDWARD HILL possessed very creditable attainments. His duties, either as a clerk or as an overseer, were always executed with diligence and efficiency. Sir William Reid, under whom he was employed at Woolwich, praised him for his exertions and services. Ambitious and enterprising, he accepted the adjutancy of the Gold-Coast corps, and filled, in addition to his regimental offices, the appointments of colonial engineer, and clerk of works in the royal engineer department. In three or four expeditions against neighbouring chiefs, his military acquirements were found of great advantage in directing the formation of camps and the construction of roads and bridges. Once he commanded at Mansu, a body of 12,000 fighting men, gathered from the native tribes in alliance with the British Governor; and, a little later, he had under his orders four field-pieces and an army of 21,000 men, 18,000 of whom bore arms. His head-quarters were at Yancoomassie, and his force—distributed as far as Douguah, with divisions intermediately at Wartett and Donasi—carried out, under his personal orders, the field services necessary to render the movements of the contingents unchecked and successful. The army, intended to bring the king of Ashantee to terms, had the effect of inducing that powerful chief to accept, without a blow, the ultimatum of the Governor. Early in the next year Adjutant Hill was detached to Accra, to defend the Christianburg castle against an armed body of natives who menaced it. With his usual spirit and bravery he set about the work and met his fate on February 22, 1854 (a few days after he was commissioned to be lieutenant), by the explosion of a small powder magazine while he was in the act of firing a gun upon the enemy. His employment in the colony was noticed in honourable terms in ‘The Globe’ for January, 1853. “Yesterday,” wrote Colonel Hill, the Governor, “the service lost a gallant, zealous, and most energetic and useful officer, by the demise of my valued adjutant, to whose memory much praise is due for the very efficient manner he ever performed his onerous duties in this trying climate, and to whom myself and the service are much indebted for his valuable and faithful services.” His widow, through the feeling appeal of Colonel Hill, received the Queen’s Bounty of 60_l._ a-year; and from the Compassionate Fund, an allowance of 40_l._ a-year for her three infant children.
1854 Oct 6. JOHN JOSEPH GRINLINTON, commissioned as ensign in the 65th regiment, and afterwards removed to the 4th King’s Own, with a view to render his sound practical intelligence and experience available in the Crimea. During his short career as an officer he has won golden opinions from his own circle and his commanding officers. Indeed it would seem that his connexion with the ranks has rather helped to increase than diminish his success, and the appreciation evinced for his exertions and efficiency. On his transfer to the 4th foot, his commanding officer officially stated, that his removal would be a loss to the 65th depôt. In less than six months after doffing the uniform of a non-commissioned officer, he received promotion as lieutenant, March, 1855; and in allusion to this rise, his former commanding officer, in a congratulatory letter, made this gratifying observation: “I frankly tell you that you carry under your head-piece the makings of a good officer.” Subsequently was at the siege of Sebastopol, where, receiving an appointment as assistant engineer, was generally employed on surveying duties, and recommended by Sir Harry Jones for promotion in a dispatch dated 16th September, 1855.
1855 June 12. JAMES SIMPSON. Was commissioned as staff-quartermaster to the British Swiss Legion stationed at Dover, and on its disbandment, was removed with the same rank on the 1st October, 1856, to the depôt battalion at Stirling.
” 26. GEORGE ALLAN. From quartermaster; was commissioned as Captain in the Turkish Contingent Engineers.
July 13. JOSEPH LONGLAND. Commissioned as battalion quartermaster in one of the British foreign legions stationed at Shorncliffe. The duties of his office in connection with the organization of a new force, which were most irksome, shattered his health, and induced him to resign on the following 31st August.

1853 Apr. 1. WILLIAM READ, serving at Chatham.
1854 Aug. 1. JOHN J. GRINLINTON, in the space of ten years became sergeant-major of the survey companies. Well educated, clear-headed, and accurate, he was intrusted with duties of great responsibility. For several years he annually disbursed about 24,000_l._ on the public service; and such was his physical activity and mental strength, that no amount of labour seemed to tire or weaken his energies. In the absence of his officers on particular duty, he acted with intelligence, decision, and firmness in emergencies and difficult cases. It was these capabilities, coupled with his gentlemanly manners, address, and deportment, that induced Colonel Hall, the superintendent of the ordnance survey, to bring forward his merits, to obtain for him a commission in the line. In this he succeeded. The Colonel stated, in his official recommendation of sergeant-major Grinlinton, that his ability could be turned to good account in a regiment by instructing young officers in the mode of sketching ground, describing localities and positions, and in various other staff duties essential for the movements of an army across a country. Being a good surveyor and draughts-man, and possessed of attainments to render him successful in services of reconnaissance, he was regarded as specially adapted for a post in the Quartermaster-General or Adjutant-General’s department of the army. In October, 1854, he was commissioned as ensign in the 65th regiment; and a few officers, under whom he had served, presented him with a purse of forty sovereigns, accompanied by a letter full of expressions of eulogy and esteem.

1837 Sergeant HUGH LANYON. From the Governor of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. A case of mathematical drawing instruments, “for the intelligence, zeal, and uniform good conduct evinced by him in charge of the detachment employed in field-work instruction at the college.”
1838 Sergeant-major JENKIN JONES. By the sergeants of Chatham garrison. A silver tankard, “in testimony of their gratitude for the undeviating attention evinced by him while superintending the formation of a military swimming-bath.”
1838 Second-corporal WILLIAM CAMPBELL. By the Commissioners of Education in Ireland. A case of mathematical drawing instruments, “in testimony of the intelligence and ability he displayed in teaching surveying and levelling to the inspectors of national schools.”
1838 Corporals WILLIAM SPRY and WILLIAM RICHARDSON. Gold medals from Sultan Mahmoud II. for service in Constantinople from 1836 to 1838.
1841 Private HENRY ENTWISTLE. From the Royal Humane Society. A silver medallion and vellum certificate for courage and humanity, during the pontoon practice on the 30th August, 1841, in plunging into the river Medway, near Rochester Bridge, and at imminent personal risk, rescuing from drowning private Samuel Turner of the corps, who had accidentally fallen overboard, and was unable to swim.

1845 Private PATRICK J. HOGAN. From H. R. H. Prince Albert. A present of 5_l._ in admiration of his talents as an artist, as displayed in a beautiful etching of the Victoria Oak, in the Green Park at Windsor.

A silver snuff-box “for his valuable and successful services as secretary to the Institution.” This non-commissioned officer was chief clerk in the Assistant-Adjutant-General’s office at Chatham. His attainments are of a character to make his services very efficient and satisfactory. Having studied in King’s College, Aberdeen, where he graduated M.A., he has a fair knowledge of Greek and Latin, and is well grounded in mathematics. For many years, apart from his military duties, he held the office of secretary to the Woolwich Institution; and to his perseverance and untiring advocacy, it was mainly indebted for continuing so long in existence. When it passed from under his superintendence into other hands, it gradually lost energy and vitality, and, in time, uniting itself to a local speculation, fell to pieces with the insolvency of its new alliance. It should also be mentioned, to his credit, that sergeant Mutch had the honour of originating in Woolwich the movement in favour of the Great Exhibition. By consulting a few leading men, the project received the countenance it merited, and eventually, a meeting to extend the object, the largest demonstration ever known in Woolwich, was held in the riding-school, under the auspices of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, who presided on the occasion.

1850 Private ROBERT MCDONALD. A handsomely-bound Polyglot Bible, from the teachers and children of the village of Elrig, Mochrum, “in token of his Christian benevolence in founding the Sabbath school at Elrig, and conducting it with unwearied labour and at much sacrifice of his limited means and time to its present flourishing condition.” The Bible was presented at a soiree, and Mr. Routledge, on the part of the meeting, “expressed the gratitude felt to private McDonald for having reclaimed so many poor children, and brought them together for a purpose so calculated to promote their interests.”
1851 Colour-sergeant JOHN CARLIN. Gold pen and engineering pencil-case, from Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, “for showing himself exceedingly clever in calculations of a rather puzzling nature, and being a most zealous, active, and painstaking non-commissioned officer.”
1852 Sergeant HENRY QUODLING. By a number of civilians at York. A case of professional instruments, “was a token of their affectionate regard on his leaving England for Van Diemen’s Land.” It was presented to him at a dinner provided by the subscribers; “and it must,” writes the ‘Yorkshire Gazette’ of June 12, 1852, “be highly gratifying to the members of the corps connected with the ordnance survey in the city, to find that their general conduct has been such, as to win for them the respect of the citizens of York.”
1854 Sergeant BENJAMIN CASTLEDINE. From the Governor of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. A case of mathematical drawing instruments, “for intelligence, zeal, and uniform good conduct in charge of the detachment employed in the field-work instruction at the college.”
1855 Quartermaster MICHAEL BRADFORD. From the non-commissioned officers of the corps at Woolwich. An elegant double-handled silver goblet, “as a mark of regard and esteem.”
1855 Sergeant-major JAMES STEEL and Quartermaster-sergeant B. KEEN SPENCER. Each a present of 10_l._ from Prince Albert, “as a mark of H.R.H.’s approval of their attention and care in making the survey of Osborne.”
1856 Quartermaster MICHAEL BRADFORD. From Captains Theodosius Webb, G. Ross, F. E. Cox, Fitzroy Somerset, and Lieutenant G. R. Lempriere, R.E. A regimental sword, “as a mark of their regard and esteem for his character and conduct.” He was the sergeant-major at head-quarters, while the officers who made the presentation successively filled the appointment of Acting Adjutant.
1856 Staff-sergeant JAMES RAINEY MUTCH. From “inhabitants of Woolwich.” A neat silver tea-service of three pieces, “in grateful acknowledgment of the eminent services he has rendered to the Literary and Scientific Institution, the Mutual Benefit Building Society, and other associations, having for their object the benefit of the community.” The service was handed to sergeant Mutch by Richard Pidcock, Esq., the church-warden, at a public meeting of the subscribers. Mr. Mutch has since been promoted to be Quartermaster in the Corps.
1856 Corporal JAMES FRANKHAM CHURCH. From the Royal Geographical Society of London. A silver watch and appendages, by Frodsham, in appreciation of “his meritorious and intelligent services on the Central African Expedition, 1853–54.” The testimonial was presented to him by the President, Admiral Beechey, and Sir John Burgoyne did the corporal the honour of replying to the observations of the Admiral, and thanking the society for the gift.

Transcriber’s Note
Hyphens appearing in compound words on a line or page break are retained or removed based on the preponderance of instances of the word elsewhere in the text.
On p. 48, the table at the top of the page appeared in mid-paragraph. It has been moved to precede that paragraph.
On occasion, tabular data which spanned pages repeated some headings. These repetitive lines are moot in this format, and have been removed.
On p. 166, the tabulation of corps strength incorrectly computes the total comprising “the band”, missing the three non-commissioned officers. The total strength should have been 3331.
Appendix IX consists of a very wide table of casualties, presented in landscape orientation. It has been separated into three separate tables here: the first containing ‘increases’, the second two, both containing ‘decreases’, include ‘discharges’ and other outcomes, respectively.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The corrections below refer to page and line in the original printed text. The prefix ‘n’ refers to the note number as it is numbered in this text.
