BERKSHIRE YEOMANRY continued.
MAJOR-GENERAL'S PRAISE.
Major-General Peyton wishes to convey
to all ranks of the Second Mounted Division
his high appreciation of their bearing on the
first occasion they took part in a general
engagement. He watched with pride the
steadiness of the movement from Lala Baba
to Chocolate Hill under heavy shrapnel fire
and later the gallantry and determination
displayed in the attack. He deplores the
loss of our gallant comrades who fell and
knows their memory will stimulate to maintain
in the future the high reputation the
division has already earned for itself.
Brigadier-General Kenna, who commanded
the Division, has already conveyed to me his
admiration of the conduct of all ranks
throughout the day, especially of the 2nd
Mounted Brigade in reaching Hill 70 in spite
of heavy casualties and the loss of their gallant
commander, Lord Longford.
