Major-General Richard Lluellyn, C.B., was appointed Colonel of the Thirty-ninth regiment on the 17th of January 1853, in succession to Lieut.-General George Burrell, C.B., deceased.
The regiment proceeded from Clonmel to Cork in February 1853, where it was stationed on the 30th of June, the date to which this Record has been brought.
Note.—The compiler of the Regimental Records feels it his duty to acknowledge the assistance which he has received in the compilation of the History of the Thirty-ninth and certain other regiments, from Mr. Thomas Carter, of the Adjutant-General’s Office, who, by much labour and research, has endeavoured to supply the deficiencies in the manuscript narratives transmitted by regiments, particularly in the details of their earlier services.
