NAPIER OF MAGDALA
(Robert Cornelis, 1810-1890, Field-Marshal, from 1868 1st Baron)
Autograph Letter signed Napier of Magdala to Mr Wickham
saying that he has caused application to be made for John Waterhouse and the reply is that he is ineligible because he has no war decoration. I am very sorry for his disappointment. Where other qualifications are equal he who has most war medals is selected. He might try for a place as messenger at the War Office but competition is very great....3 sides 8vo., 63 Eaton Square, S.W., 26th June no year
