Henry Young, of the 17th Light Dragoons, second son of the late Bishop of Clonfert. This gallant officer distinguished himself at the sieges of Seringapatam, Assaye, and Vellore; and received, while serving with the 19th Light Dragoons, at the latter place, at the head of his Regiment, for most meritorious conduct, the thanks of Colonel Gillespie. In 1808 he returned to this country with his Regiment, after an absence of 11 years. Preferring, however, an active situation, he exchanged into the 17th Dragoons, then on their way to India, whither he proceeded to join them; and on the day he reached their quarters was seized with a fever, which, after 17 days, terminated an existence honourable to his memory. The whole Garrison of Surat attended his funeral with military honours. |
