Fan Ficer Comm
From Commander-in-Chief in China and Hong Kong
To the Commodore in Charge.
Sir,
Hong Kong.
20th May 1899.
I have the honour to inform you that the Naval Contingent which you kindly lent for my assistance for the purpose of occupying the town of Sham-Chun on Tuesday 16th instant acquitted itself to my entire satisfaction. I had arranged with Captain Clarke of H.M.S. "Undaunted" that the column should meet me at Sham-Chun at 3 p.m. on that day, and when I arrived the column was awaiting my arrival. Owing to the additional force lent to me the display of strength was imposing, and quite precluded all chance of resistance, had there been any intention on the part of the natives to offer resistance. I fear that the men had had a long, hot, and trying march, but they appeared to be perfectly fresh and contented. I have only therefore to express my thanks for the assistance so cheerfully given. I have mentioned in my report to the War Office the great help I have received not only on this but on several other occasions lately from Her Majesty's Navy.
I have, &c.
Aldi W.J. GASCOIGNE,
Major General, Commanding in China and Hong Kong.
