6. The Battery formed part of the defence during the attack on Stonecutters' Island and the Mine Fields on the 26th, and displayed great keenness in the operations, and intelligence in carrying out the various orders.
7. During the very limited time set apart for the Battery, 33 men were put through the Recruit's Course of Musketry.
8. The attendance was exceedingly good; out of a total strength of 95 of all ranks, no less than 87 were present in Camp for periods varying from 3 to 10 days.
9. The average daily attendance was 60.
10. The conduct of the Battery was excellent.
11. I wish to record the indebtedness of the Battery to the Adjutant, Captain BAND, R.A. It was principally due to that Officer's example and his untiring energy that the success of the Camp was assured.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
ARTHUR CHAPMAN, Major, Officer Commanding Field Battery,
Hongkong Volunteer Corps.
