Since the date of the at Despatch, but before I assumed command, the Indian Army Corps left this country for service in the East. They had given a year's valuable and gallant service under condi. tions of warfare which they had not dreamt of, and in climate peculiarly difficult for them to endure. I regret their departurs, but I do not doubt that they will continue to render allast and effective service alnuwbare, as they have already done in this country.
