APPENDIX X
THE FINAL ACCOUNTS
To the Editor of the ‘Indian Daily News.’
Sir,—May I ask you to be good enough to publish for the benefit of the subscribers to the Indian Mounted Infantry Corps (Lumsden’s Horse) Fund a detailed account of the receipts and expenditure?
On behalf of myself, officers, and men of the corps, I desire to tender our grateful acknowledgment to His Excellency Lord Curzon, Honorary Colonel, not only for having sanctioned the raising of the corps and for his patronage, but also for the very material assistance he graciously gave us and for the interest he took in our operations on active service.
I take the opportunity, at the completion of our campaign, again to thank the public for the splendid manner in which they equipped the corps for active service in South Africa and for the cordial way they welcomed it back again. The public appreciation of their services to the Army has been to the officers and men of Lumsden’s Horse ample recompense for any hardships they may have endured. For myself I can only repeat that I never wish to be associated with more gallant comrades. I am indebted to General Sir E.R. Elles, Adjutant-General, General Gaselee, Quartermaster-General, Surgeon-General Harvey, Director-General I.M.S., and General Wace, Director-General of Ordnance, for the assistance given in obtaining equipment for the corps and facilitating its despatch.
More than special thanks are also due to Sir Patrick Playfair for the great interest he has taken in the corps from start to finish, as well as to the other members of the committee.—Yours, &c.,
D.M. Lumsden, Lieutenant-Colonel,
Commanding Lumsden’s Horse.
