MARCH 1.

Bengal Native Infantry,

For a daring act of bravery, in July, 1857, when the Indore Presidency was suddenly attacked by Holkar's troops, in having charged the guns with only five men to support him, and driven the gunners from the guns, thereby creating a favourable diversion, which saved the lives of many persons, fugitives to the Residency. It is stated that officers who were present considered that the effect of the charge was to enable many Europeans to escape from actual slaughter, and time was gained, which enabled the faithful Bhopal Artillery to man their guns. Col.

Travers's horse was shot in three places, and his accoutrements were shot through in various parts. He commanded the Bhopal Levy.

Lieut.-Colonel Samuel James Browne, C.B., late 46th Bengal Native Infantry,

For having, at Seerporah, in an engagement with the rebel forces under Khan Allie Khan, on the 31st of August, 1858, whilst advancing upon the enemy's position, at daybreak, pushed on with one orderly Sowar upon a nine-pounder gun that was commanding one of the approaches to the enemy's position, and attacked the gunners, thereby preventing them from reloading, and firing upon the infantry, who were advancing to the attack. In doing this, a personal conflict ensued, in which Capt. (now Lieut-Col.) Samuel James Browne, Commandant of the 2nd Punjaub Cavalry, received a severe sword-cut wound on the left knee, and shortly afterwards another sword-cut wound, which severed the left arm at the shoulder--not, however, before Lieut.Col. Browne had succeeded in cutting down one of his assailants. The gun was prevented from being reloaded, and was eventually captured by the infantry, and the gunner slain.

natives. At about 4 o'clock, P.M., a very heavy and well-directed fire was suddenly opened upon them from the bush and the high ground on the left. Three men being wounded simultaneously, two of them mortally, assistance was called for in order to have them carried to the rear; a file was immediately sent, but had scarcely arrived, when one of them fell, and Lieutenant Rees was wounded at the same time. Colour-Sergeant Lucas, under a very heavy fire from the rebels, who were not more than 30 yards distant, immediately ran up to the assistance of this officer, and sent one man with him to the rear. He then took charge of the arms belonging to the killed and wounded men, and maintained his position until the arrival of supports under Lieutenants Gibson and Whelan.
