Since that period , with but little interruption , I may say it has been almost constantly under my notice . For three years it formed part of the brigade I commanded in the army of occupation . For five years , as inspector of cavalry , it was again under my orders . It has now , during the last year , been serving in that part of the army , at the head of which I have had the honor to be placed ; and for more than six years I have been its Colonel . During the whole of that time , the conduct of the 12th regiment has been most exemplary , and highly to its honor . In the field before the enemy it was ever distinguish ed for its valour- ( hear . ) I should appear tedious were I to attempt to detail the many occasions on which , during the war in Spain , the gallantry of this corps called forth the approbation of the great commander at the head of that army . I shall not occupy you now with the facts and deeds with which you are generally so familiar , but I cannot omit noticing the prominent part which the 12th Lancers took in the battle of Waterloo- ( hear , hear . ) when it formed a distinguished portion in Sir William Ponsonby's heavy brigade of cavalry , under the immediate direction , and led by the Earl of Uxbridge ( the Marquis of Anglesey . ) The 12th , on that memorable occasion , assisted in the complete defeat of a large body of the enemy's troops , in an attempt to obtain temporary posses sion of thirty pieces of artillery , and by the enemy's own admission to paralyze their efforts in that part of the field during the remainder of the day . Such has been the character of the regiment abroad whilst at home it has been at all times equally dis tinguished for discipline and good conduct . From all the colonels under whose command it has served I have received the strongest letters of praise. During the last six months , stationed in a most dis turbed part , and frequently called on to perform ordinary , and perhaps most unpleasant duties , it has merited and received the approbation of all the authorities , civil and military , under whom it served . Sir Edward Blakeney , Sir Thomas Arbuthnot , Sir James Douglas , the late Sir George Bingham , have all done justice to the merits of this corps - have all spoken of it in the highest terms of praise while under their orders . It is to mark my approbation of such admirable conduct it is as your Colonel , an honor of which I am justly proud- ( loud applause ) -to show my respect and regard for the soldiers of that regiment - to express my respect and regard at its being about to leave this country , that I invited you here this day . But wherever the regiment goes it goes , accompanied with my best wishes . Success and happiness attend all those connected with it . Its interests will ever be in my consideration . The gallant General concluded by proposing " The King , " which was drank with the loudest applause . The following toasts - the Marquess of Angle sey , the Duke of Wellington , Lord Hill and the Army ; the Colonel of the 12th Lancers , Sir H. Vivian , were next passed ; Sir Hussey then gave " Honor and happiness to the 12th Lancers wher ever they are quartered . " The guests shortly after retired , delighted with the day they had spent .
