was the soldier’s friend, and memorialist received from Sir David a certificate, 
7 of which the following is a copy :— 
“This is to certify that Sergeant James Sullivan has served as clerk in the orderly room of 
the Sixty-Second Regiment since the month of November, 1817. I have invariably found him

“ Templemore, Major Sixty-Second Regiment and Lt.-Col.” 
Feb. 25th, 1825.” 
Memorialist is grieved to see that the only distinction of his former gallant 
corps is the word “ Peninsula,” notwithstanding their valor in all parts of the 
globe, and not forgetting their recent sufferings on the march from Bangalore 
to Masulipatam, East Indies, where the ashes of many a brave Peninsular, Nive, 
Pyrenees, Genoa, Savona, and Castine warrior of the brave Sixty-Second lies 
interred between the mountains of that Heathen land. 
; Lt.-Col. Robertson, half-pay of the regiment, got the order of Maria and 
Ct Theresa for service in Sicily and Italy, and Major Hartley a gold medal for 
service in Egypt. 
The whole of which is most humbly and most respectfully submitted to the 
favorable consideration of his colonel, by his most faithful and obedient soldier 
still to. command,
