5. The Lieutenant-General avails himself of this
opportunity to return his warmest thanks to the whole
of the troops placed under his command for service in
Persia, for their very exemplary conduct since their
arrival in this country, evinced by the fact of scarcely
one instance of misconduct on the part of any individual
having heen brought to his notice. This entire absence
of crime amongst so large a body of troops assembled in
camp, redounds to the credit of both officers and men,
and is the strongest possible proof of the high state of
discipline of the force ; whilst their conduct throughout
the expedition to Borazjoon, and in the engagement at
Kooshab, bore ample testimony to the gallantry of all
ranks before an enemy, and to their patient and cheerful
endurance of fatigue and hardship under the most try
ing circumstances.
6. Lieutenant-General Sir James Outram, as a soldier
who has been honoured with such a command, cannot
help expressing his deep regret that more opportunity
has not been afforded the troops by the enemy for a
display of that prowess and gallant spirit which he
knows to pervade all ranks; but as a peace has been
concluded by her Gracious Majesty's Government, it is
a source of much satisfaction to the Lieutenant-General
that a great portion of the force is thus enabled to
return at once to India before the monsoon commences,
and he hopes that an early compliance on the part
of the Persian Government with the conditions of the
treaty, will shortly remove the necessity which still
exists of a further occupation of Bushire.
