APPENDIX.
“_Horse Guards_,
“_16th May, 1801._
“GENERAL ORDERS.
“The recent events which have occurred in Egypt have induced His
Majesty to lay his most gracious commands on His Royal Highness
the Commander-in-Chief, to convey to the troops employed in that
country His Majesty’s highest approbation of their conduct; and
at the same time His Majesty has deemed it expedient that these
his gracious sentiments should be communicated to every part of
his army, not doubting that all ranks will thereby be inspired
with an honorable spirit of emulation, and an eager desire of
distinguishing themselves in their country’s service.
“Under the blessing of Divine Providence, His Majesty ascribes
the successes that have attended the exertions of his troops in
Egypt to that determined bravery which is inherent in Britons;
but His Majesty desires it may be most solemnly and most forcibly
impressed on the consideration of every part of the army, that
it has been a strict observance of _order_, _discipline_, and
_military_ system, which has given its full energy to the native
valour of the troops, and has enabled them proudly to assert the
superiority of the national military character, in situations
uncommonly arduous, and under circumstances of peculiar
difficulty.
“The illustrious example of their Commander cannot fail to have
made an indelible impression on the gallant troops, at whose
head, crowned with victory and glory, he terminated his honorable
career; and His Majesty trusts that a due contemplation of the
talents and virtues which he uniformly displayed in the course of
his valuable life, will for ever endear the memory of SIR RALPH
ABERCROMBY to the British army.
“His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief having thus obeyed
His Majesty’s commands, cannot forbear to avail himself of this
opportunity of recapitulating the leading features of a series of
operations so honorable to the British arms.
“The boldness of the approach to the coast of Aboukir, in
defiance of a powerful and well-directed artillery; the orderly
formation upon the beach, under the heaviest fire of grape and
musketry; the reception and repulse of the enemy’s cavalry and
infantry; the subsequent charge of our troops, which decided the
victory, and established a footing on the shores of Egypt, are
circumstances of glory never surpassed in the military annals of
the world.
“The advance of the army, on the 13th of March, towards
ALEXANDRIA, presents the spectacle of a movement of infantry
through an open country, who, being attacked upon their march,
_formed_, and _repulsed_ the enemy; then advanced in line
for three miles, engaged along their whole front, until they
drove the enemy to seek his safety under the protection of his
entrenched position. Such had been the order and regularity of
the advance.
“Upon the 21st of March, the united force of the French in Egypt
attacked the position of the British army.
“An attack, begun an hour before daylight, could derive no
advantage over the vigilance of an army ever ready to receive
it. The enemy’s most vigorous and repeated efforts were directed
against the right and centre. Our infantry fought in the plain,
greatly inferior in the number of their artillery, and unaided by
cavalry.
“They relied upon their discipline and their courage. The
desperate attacks of a veteran cavalry, joined to those of a
numerous infantry, which had vainly styled itself ‘_Invincible_,’
were everywhere repulsed; and a conflict the most severe
terminated in one of the most signal victories which ever adorned
the annals of the British nation.
“In bringing forward these details, the Commander-in-Chief does
not call upon the army merely _to admire_ but _to emulate_
such conduct. Every soldier who feels for the honor of his
country, while he exults in events so splendid and important in
themselves, will henceforth have fresh motives for cherishing
and enforcing the practice of discipline, and by uniting, in
the greatest perfection, order and precision with activity and
courage, will seek to uphold, and transmit undiminished to
posterity, the _Glory_ and _Honor_ of the _British Arms_.
“Nor is a less useful example to be derived from the conduct of
the distinguished Commander who fell in the field. His steady
observance of discipline, his ever-watchful attention to the
health and wants of his troops, the persevering and unconquerable
spirit which marked his military career, the splendour of his
actions in the field, and the heroism of his death, are worthy
the imitation of all who desire, like him, a life of honor and a
death of glory.
“By Order of His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief,
“HARRY CALVERT,
“_Colonel and Adjutant-General_.”
The following Regiments were employed in EGYPT, in 1801, and were permitted by His Majesty King George the Third, to bear on their colours the _Sphinx_, with the word “EGYPT,” as a distinguished mark of His Majesty’s Royal approbation, and as a lasting memorial of the glory acquired to His Majesty’s arms by the zeal, discipline, and intrepidity of his troops in that arduous and important campaign, _viz._:—

“_His Majesty’s Ship, ‘Audacious,’_
“_18th January, 1809._
“GENERAL ORDERS.
“The irreparable loss that has been sustained by the fall of the
Commander of the Forces (Lieut.-General Sir John Moore), and the
severe wound which has removed Lieut.-General Sir David Baird
from his station, render it the duty of Lieut.-General Hope to
congratulate the army upon the successful result of the action of
the 16th instant.
“On no occasion has the undaunted valour of British troops ever
been more manifest. At the termination of a severe and harassing
march, rendered necessary by the superiority which the enemy had
acquired, and which had materially impaired the efficiency of the
troops, many disadvantages were to be encountered.
“These have all been surmounted by the conduct of the troops
themselves; and the enemy has been taught, that whatever
advantages of position, or of numbers he may employ, there is
inherent in the British officers and soldiers, a bravery that
knows not how to yield, that no circumstances can appal, and that
will ensure victory when it is to be obtained by the exertion of
any human means.
“The Lieut.-General has the greatest satisfaction in
distinguishing such meritorious services, as came within his
observation, or have been brought to his knowledge.
“His acknowledgments are, in a peculiar manner, due to
Lieut.-General Lord William Bentinck, and the brigade under his
command, consisting of the fourth, forty-second, and fiftieth
regiments, and which sustained the weight of the attack.
“Major-General Manningham, with his brigade, consisting of
the Royals, the twenty-sixth and eighty-first regiments, and
Major-General Warde, with the brigade of Guards, will also be
pleased to accept his best thanks for their steady and gallant
conduct during the action.
“To Major-General Paget, who, by a judicious movement of the
reserve, effectually contributed to check the progress of
the enemy on the right; and to the first battalion of the
fifty-second and ninety-fifth regiments, which were thereby
engaged, the greatest praise is justly due.
“That part of Major-General Leith’s brigade which was engaged,
consisting of the fifty-ninth regiment, under the conduct of the
Major-General, also claims marked approbation.
“The enemy not having rendered the attack on the left a serious
one, did not afford to the troops stationed in that quarter an
opportunity of displaying that gallantry which must have made him
repent the attempt.
“The piquets and advanced posts, however, of the brigades
under the command of _Major-Generals Hill and Leith_, and
_Colonel Catlin Craufurd_, conducted themselves with determined
resolution; and were ably supported by the officers commanding
these brigades, and by the troops of which they were composed.
“It is peculiarly incumbent upon the Lieut.-General to notice the
vigorous attack made by the second battalion of the _fourteenth_
regiment under _Lieut.-Colonel Nicolls_, which drove the enemy
out of the village, of the left of which he had possessed himself.
“The exertions of _Lieut.-Colonel Murray_, Quarter-Master
General, and of the other officers of the General Staff, during
the action, were unremitted, and deserve every degree of
approbation.
“The illness of _Brigadier-General Clinton_, Adjutant-General,
unfortunately deprived the army of the benefit of his services.
“The Lieut.-General hopes the loss in point of numbers is not so
considerable as might have been expected; he laments, however,
the fall of the gallant soldiers and valuable officers who have
suffered.
“The Lieut.-General knows that it is impossible, in any language
he can use, to enhance the esteem, or diminish the regret, that
the army feels with him for its late Commander. His career has
been unfortunately too limited for his country, but has been
sufficient for his own fame. Beloved by the army, honored by his
Sovereign, and respected by his country, he has terminated a life
devoted to her service, by a glorious death,—leaving his name as
a memorial, an example, and an incitement, to those who shall
follow him in the path of honor, and it is from his country alone
that his memory can receive the tribute which is its due.
(Signed) “JOHN HOPE, _Lieut.-General_.”
“_Horse Guards_,
“_1st February, 1809._
“GENERAL ORDERS.
“The benefits derived to an army from the example of a
distinguished Commander, do not terminate at his death; his
virtues live in the recollection of his associates, and his fame
remains the strongest incentive to great and glorious actions.
“In this view, the Commander-in-Chief, amidst the deep and
universal regret which the death of Lieut.-General Sir JOHN MOORE
has occasioned, recalls to the troops the military career of that
illustrious officer for their instruction and imitation.
“Sir JOHN MOORE from his youth embraced the profession with the
feelings and sentiments of a soldier; he felt that a perfect
knowledge, and an exact performance of the humble, but important
duties of a subaltern officer, are the best foundations for
subsequent military fame; and his ardent mind, while it looked
forward to those brilliant achievements for which it was formed,
applied itself, with energy and exemplary assiduity, to the
duties of that station.
“In the school of regimental duty, he obtained that correct
knowledge of his profession so essential to the proper direction
of the gallant spirit of the soldier; and he was enabled to
establish a characteristic order and regularity of conduct,
because the troops found in their leader a striking example of
the discipline which he enforced on others.
“Having risen to command, he signalized his name in the West
Indies, in Holland, and in Egypt. The unremitting attention with
which he devoted himself to the duties of every branch of his
profession, obtained him the confidence of Sir Ralph Abercromby,
and he became the companion in arms of that illustrious officer,
who fell at the head of his victorious troops, in an action which
maintained our national superiority over the arms of France.
“Thus Sir JOHN MOORE at an early period obtained, with general
approbation, that conspicuous station, in which he gloriously
terminated his useful and honorable life.
“In a military character obtained amidst the dangers of climate,
the privations incident to service, and the sufferings of
repeated wounds, it is difficult to select any one point as a
preferable subject for praise; it exhibits, however, one feature
so particularly characteristic of the man, and so important to
the best interests of the service, that the Commander-in-Chief is
pleased to mark it with his peculiar approbation—
“THE LIFE OF SIR JOHN MOORE WAS SPENT AMONG THE TROOPS.
“During the season of repose, his time was devoted to the care
and instruction of the officer and soldier; in war he courted
service in every quarter of the globe. Regardless of personal
considerations, he esteemed that to which his country called
him, _the post of honor_, and by his undaunted spirit and
unconquerable perseverance, he pointed the way to victory.
“His country, the object of his latest solicitude, will rear a
monument to his lamented memory, and the Commander-in-Chief feels
he is paying the best tribute to his fame by thus holding him
forth as an EXAMPLE to the ARMY.
“By order of His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief,
“HARRY CALVERT, _Adjutant-General_.”
