10th.—Farewell Order by General French:—
"The Lieut.-General, on relinquishing the command, desires to express his deep regret in severing his immediate connection with the splendid force it has been his honour to command throughout an almost continuous series of engagements and active operations, commencing in February last to the present time. General French recalls with pride and satisfaction the many occasions during that period upon which he has personally witnessed the intrepid gallantry displayed by all ranks of the Cavalry Division. A glorious reminiscence which will be ever present to the end of his life.
