F. CHAPMAN C.B. The Indian Artillery of "John Company's" days produced some distinguished soldiers. Amongst them was General Edward Francis Chapman. Born November 14th, 1840, this gallant Officer joined the Bengal Artillery as a 2nd Lieutenant, June12th, 1858. Unfortunately, he landed in India too late to participate in the glories of the Mutiny Campaign. This was a great disappointment to him, the more so as ill luck followed for ten years. Early in his career, however, his abilities were recognised, for no less an authority than Lord Roberts, predicted that Chapman would "make his mark." It was principally due, no doubt, to Lord Roberts influence that the youthful Gunner was selected in 1868 to take out to Abyssinia B Battery Mounted Ordnance from England, to join the Expedition under Sir Robert Napier, then being organised in Bombay. So conspicuous was Lieutenant Chapman on landing, that Brigadier-General Petrie, Commanding the Artillery, appointed him to his Staff as Aide-de-Camp, and it was in that capacity he was present at the Action of Arogee and Fall of Magdala. For his services he was mentioned in Despatches, and received the War Medal. VERY GOOD CONDITION. Printed on heavier textured-glossy type paper.
