HC Deb 07 March 1859 vol 152 c1350
GENERAL BUCKLEY

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, whether Sir Hugh Rose, in his Despatch relative to the Battle of Calpee, had made particular mention of the gallant conduct of the Camel Corps on that occasion; and whether a Clasp would be given for that Action?

LORD STANLEY

said, that on inquiry he found that the Despatch alluded to by the hon. and gallant Member had not reached this country. It appeared to have been lost on its way from head quarters at Bombay. As he had not seen it, he of course could say nothing as to its contents. He had written to India for a duplicate of it, if possible. With reference to the latter part of the Question he had to state that it was not intended to give a separate clasp for the battle of Calpee.
