"Camp at Port Durnford, July 21st, 1879.
" As the Naval Brigade is now about to embark, General Sir Garnet Wolseley wishes to place on record his very high appreciation of the services it has rendered while acting on shore. The conduct of the men has been admirable, and their bearing in action in every way worthy of the service to which they belong, while they have worked hard and cheerfully in those laborious duties which constitute so important a part of all military operations. In returning to their ships, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that all recollection of the Zulu War will be associated with the Naval Brigade, which has borne so distinguished a part in it.
" (By order), G. POMEROY COLLEY,
" Major-General, Chief of the Staff."
