25s Brigade Surgeon C. M. Douglas was decorated with the Victoria Cross, together with four Privates of the 24th
Regiment, "for the very gallant and daring manner in which, on the 7th May 1867. they risked their lives in man-
ning a boat and proceeding through a dangerous surf to the rescue of some of their comrades, -who formed part of
an expedition which had been sent to the island of Little Andaman, by order of the Chief Commissioner of British
Burmah, with the view of ascertaining the fate of the commander and seven of the crew of the ship Assam
Valley, who had landed there, and were supposed to have been murdered by the natives. The Officer who
commanded the troops on the occasion reports: 'About an hour later in the dav, Dr. Douglas, 2nd Battalion,
24th Regiment, and the four privates referred to, gallantly manning the second gig, made their way through the
surf almost to the shore, but finding their boat was half- filled with water, they retired. A second attempt made by
Dr. Douglas and party proved successful, five of us being safely passed through the surf to the boats outside. A.
third and last trip got the whole of the parry left on shore safe to the boats.' It is stated that Dr. Douglas accom-
plished these trips through the surf to the shore b.y no ordinary exertion. He stood in the bows of the boat, and
worked her in an intrepid and seamanlike manner, cool to a degree, as if what he was then doing was an ordinary
act of everyday life. The four privates behaved in an equally cool and collected manner, rowing through the
roughest surf when the slightest" hesitation or want of pluck on the part of any one of them would have been
attended by the gravest results. It is reported that seventeen officers and men were thus saved from what must
otherwise have been a fearful risk, if not certainty of death,"
