Standish Weld, of his Majesty's 47th Regiment, youngest son of Edmund Weld, esq. of Molesworth-street, Dublin. This young officer was engaged in the attack and destruction of Rass al Khyma, in Persia, on the 12th and 13th days of the month, in which he unhappily fell. He was also present at the siege and reduction of Buenos Ayres, on the East Coast of South America -- and he had to boast of what falls not to the lot of many; namely, that in the short space of a year and six months, he bore, as Ensign, the British Standard through the four quarters of the Globe. |
