his Excellency Sir Ralph Abercrombie, where
he delivered it into my hands, when he at
the same time received from me, by order,
a gratuity of twenty dollars for so signal an
instance of good conduct ; aiid I do farther
Certify that 1 forwarded the standard then
taken by the above Anthony Lutz to Sir
Ralph Abercrombie then ill of his wounds,
in his Majesty’s ship Foudroyant; that his
Excellency received it accordingly, and that
it is now in our possession. — Given under
my hand at the Adjutant General’s quarters
in the camp before Alexandria, this 3d day
of April, 1801.
(Signed) John M‘Donald, assistant
. Adjutant-general.”
Extract from Brigadier-General Stuart's
regimental orders, IQth April, 1801.
“ Private Anthony Lutz, who took the
standard from the enemy on the 21st of last
month, is directed to wear the representa-
tion of a standard, (according to the model
prescribed by the Brigadier-general,) as a
mark of his good behaviour, on his right
arm.”
This badge, Lutz has worn ever since; so
that we should have thought, the fact of
his having captured the standard in question
must have been notorious to the whole army.
Where all had done their duty, it is im-
possible to praise any without injuring others.
