“The Wiltshire Regiment for Wiltshire.” 365 
And he does not forget “Colonel Tylden, ever indefatigable for 
repulse or assault.” 
“8th June. Sixty-Second Regiment. Killed. Major Dickson and Captain 
Foster ; Colour-Serjeants Thomas Jones and Owen Pennell; Privates John Baily, 
John Boylan, and John Quigly. 
Wounded. Lt.-Col. Shearman, dangerously, since dead; Captain Ingall, 
slightly; Drummer George Ware, slightly ; Privates John Fanelly, Patrick 
Sullivan, William Newham, severely wounded; and Edmund Browne, Patrick 
Crow'ey, Michael Dunne, John Doyle, John Halley, John Herbert, James 
McIntyre, Thomas Rountree, James Turner, Owen O'Neill, John Richards, 
Andrew Thompson, James Scott, slightly wounded.” 
In his despatch of the 12th June, 1855, Lord Raglan again refers 
to the same matter: “ Colonel Shirley likewise eulogises the conduct 
of the Sixty-Second under Colonel Shearman; and here I must be 
permitted to express my deep regret at the death of that officer, who 
fell mortally wounded ; and of Major Dickson, of the same regiment, 
who was unfortunately killed upon the occasion. Both these officers 
are serious losses to Her Majesty’s service.” 
On the 8th of September, 1855, the Sixty-Second Regiment 
formed part of the force sent to assault the Redan. They were in 
the Second Brigade of the Second Division of the Army, commanded 
by Colonel Windham; General Markham being General of the 
whole Division. The troops stormed the parapet and entered the 
salient, but after a bloody contest were unable to retain it. The 
Sixty-Second lost heavily then, and the volunteering of some of 
them, to bring back the wounded from the trenches during the 
following night, is specially mentioned.
