AN HISTORICAL NOTE 
REGARDING THE LATE 
LIEUTENANT E. BAYLY, (h.p.), R.A. 
BY 
LIEUT.-GENERAL Sir R. BIDDULPH, G.C.M.G., C.B., R.A. 
There are two interesting facts with regard to Lieutenant Frederick 
Bayly (h.p.), Royal Artillery, whose death is recorded in the Obituary, 
in “ Proceedings” of R.A. Institution for December, 1891. 
1st, He was the last surviving officer whose name appeared in the 
Army List as having fought under the Duke or Wellington. The last 
Waterloo officer in the Army List was General Whichcote, who died a 
few months earlier. Lieut. Bayly was the last who had the letter $J 
before his name; see the Quarterly Official and monthly Army Lists 
for October 1891, and the obituary in the December Army List (p. 798). 
2nd, He was in the 101st year of his age, having completed his 100th 
year in July, 1891. 
It seems desirable that the above facts should be noted in the 
“ Proceedings” of the R.A. Institution, and so form a permanent record 
of two facts very interesting to future generations of officers of Royal 
Artillery. 
His services, in the Official Quarterly Army List for October, 1891, 
are recorded as follows :— 
“ Bayly, F. (Lieut., late R.A). 
Peninsular War, 1810-14. Battles of Busaco and Castalla. (Medal 
with clasp). 
American War, 1814-15. Attacks on Baltimore and New Orleans 
(slightly wounded). 
With the Prussian Army in 1815, taking of fortresses of Maubenge, 
Landrecies, Phillipeville, and Rocroy.”
