[9] The following allusion to Captain Gilchrist is made by Captain Munro, in his Narrative:—
“Here our regiment had the misfortune of burying Captain Gilchrist, a brave and experienced officer, whose loss the SEVENTY-THIRD had much cause to lament, he having always acted as a mentor to the young and inexperienced gentlemen of his corps. This veteran had the honor, when a subaltern, of witnessing the exploits of General Wolfe upon the plains of Quebec, and was now at the head of our grenadier company; but, having exerted himself too much upon the march to Conjeveran, he was seized at that place with a fever, which disabling him from conducting the grenadiers upon the detachment under Lieut.-Colonel Fletcher, affected his mind so deeply, particularly when he heard of their dismal fate, that a delirium came on during this march, of which he died, regretted and justly lamented by all.”
