action in which his distinguished corps
took part during the Peninsular campaign ;
and for his conduct at Ronces Valles, on
the 25th July 1813, received the flattering
commendation and thanks of General Sir
John Byng (now Lord Strafford). He
was again thanked by Sir Henry Fane for
his courage and military skill at the passage
of the Gave d'Oleron, in February 1814,
shortly before the battle of Orthes ; at
the latter place the gallant Maclean was
wounded and made prisoner. The 13th
dragoons were present at Waterloo, the
glories of which Colonel Allan Maclean
also shared. The Colonel has the reputa-
