On the 30th of June, the regiment embarked for Ireland, when the following order was issued:—“Major-General Lambert cannot allow the regiments composing the left brigade of the sixth division of the army under the Duke of Wellington, to separate without requesting the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, to accept his best thanks for their services while under his command. Though the period has not been long, yet it will be ever memorable; and the distinguished good conduct of the brigade, so repeatedly mentioned during this period, especially in the action of the 10th of April, will ever make him consider his appointment to the brigade as one of the most fortunate events of his military life.”
At the close of the services of the regiment in the Peninsula and South of France, the names of the following non-commissioned officers, whose meritorious services had been rewarded with commissions, were inserted in the Record Book,—
| William Douglas. | William Bace. |
| William Hack. | Patrick Melvin. |
| James Nevin. | Andrew Connell. |
| John Abraham. | Thomas Williams. |

| John Thompson. | John Bell. |
| Simon Musgrave. | George Tyrrell. |
| William Hall. | Samuel Rose. |
