'I leave you with deep regret, and of course I must feel this
particularly for the last of my old Irish brigade with which I began
the war.

'In departing, I give you this scrap of advice: Be individually,
whenever opportunity offers personally, not only kind but generous to
the inhabitants of this country which we have taken from them, and
among whom so many of our countrymen and countrywomen will have to
dwell. It will not diminish your soldierly strength, and it will
hasten a welcome for the pleasant government of peace.'

LETTER FROM CAPTAIN ANLEY.

The following extracts from a letter received from Brevet-Major Anley,
Commanding 3rd M.I., are published for information:--

'The behaviour of your M.I. company continues to be very good.
Lieutenant Garvice and thirty men of the company did excellent service
the other day, when acting as rearguard to a convoy which was leaving
Carolina. It was reported that it was due to the steadiness of the men
of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, and the able manner they were handled
by Lieutenant Garvice, that the convoy got in without loss.

'The Inspector-General M.I. wrote and asked me to congratulate
Lieutenant Garvice on the behaviour of his men. No. 4701, Private
Kelly, R.D.F., was recommended for gallantry on this occasion.

'(Signed)
F. GORE ANLEY,

_Brevet-Major Commanding 3rd Battalion M.I._'
