affairs), St. Lucia, and Guadaloupe ; and at the defence of the latter in the same year, including the sortie from, and assault
of Fort Fleur d’Epce, the action of the 30th Sept, at Berville, and other combats to the 7th Oct, when he was severely

Bartholomew, in front of San Sebastian, 17 July 1813, which was carried by the 9th Regt. ; repulse of the sortie 27th Aug. :
passage of the Bidassoa, and stonning of the heights ; investment of Bayonne, and sortie from the left bank of the Adour.
Served in Canada in 1814 and 15. During the above service, Sir John was once severely and twice slightly wounded, and
twice severely contused he has also had two horses shot under him, one at Busaco, the other at the Nive.
