The notice inserted in the September Obituary R.A.I. “ Proceedings ” should 
have read as follows “ Lieut.-Colonel W. Ward, retired list, Madras Artillery, 
died at Weston-super-Mare, on 3rd July.” This officer must have retired before 
the amalgamation of the lists, as no trace of him can be found in the Regimental 
records. 
Many apologies are offered to Colonel W. Ward, Royal (Bombay) Artillery, for 
the inconvenience he must have suffered from the previous notice.
