JAMES SULLIVAN, 
New Castle, County Limerick, Late Col.-Sergt., and Kegt. Clerk, 
Treland, 28th July, 1838, H. M. Sixty-Second Regt. 
[Copr.]

Clerk of H. M. Sixzty-Second Regiment, who was placed on the out-pension of 
Chelsea Hospital, on the 18th day of July, 1827, at the rate of 1s. per day. 
Most humbly and most respectfully sheweth :— 
That memorialist was actually present and engaged with the enemies of his 
country near St. Jean de Luz, on the morning of the 9th November, 1813, as 
will appear by the following testimonial :— 
(EXTRACT.) ** Bhydy Gouve, Nov. 1st, 1826. 
*T certify that James Sullivan was ‘in the light company under my command near St. Jean de 
Luz, in a skirmish witb the French on the 9th, 10th, and J1th Nov., 1813, as well as at ayonne, on 
the 9th, 10th, and 11th December, 1813, and conducted himself to my perfect satisfaction. 
(Signed) “HH. L. E. Gwynne, 
** Capt. H. P. Second Battalion Sixty-Second Regiment,’’ 
That memorialist was one of the first men of Lord Aylmer’s (or the Indepen- 
dents) Brigade who crossed the ‘‘ Nive ” on the morning of the 10th November, 
1813, in pursuit of the French, being then a corporal, and commanding the ad- 
vanced section of the three light companies of the Sixty-Second, Seventy-Sixth, 
and Eighty-Fifth Regiments, under the command of a field officer of the Seventy- 
Sixth Regiment. 
Memorialist therefore most humbly prays that his Colonel Field-Marshal the 
Right Hon. Sir Samuel Hulse, may be pleased to make application to the proper 
quarter to have the honorary word ‘‘ Nive’’ placed on the colours and appoint- 
ments of H.M. Sixty-Second (or Wiltshire) Regiment of Foot. 
Memorialist begs leave most respectfully to remark, that the late Major- 
General Nathaniel Blackwell (C.B.) got the rank of colonel and a clasp or medal 
for commanding the late second battalion Sixty-Second Regiment at the battle 
of the “Nive.” The Eighty-Fifth Light Infantry has the word ‘ Nive” on 
their appointments, whilst the other two regiments of Lord Aylmer’s Brigade, 
the Sixty-Second and Seventy-Sixth Regiments are still left without that 
honorary distinction. 
Memorialist is fully aware of the gallantry displayed by the Eighty-Fifth 
Regiment on that glorious occasion, he being within a few paces of Mr. Johnston 
at the time that that officer was shot dead by the enemy, on the morning of the 
9th November, 1813, but with the greatest respect memorialist begs to remark
