On Thursday, March 7th, the British Army and the British

nation suffered a grievous loss through the death of Colonel G. F. R. Henderson, C.B., who died at Assouan in his forty-ninth year. We will say no more ; for what Colonel Henderson was as a man and a soldier, and what is the loss we have endured, have been written by a master-band in our correspondence columns. Of " Linesman's " eulogy of the dead soldier we need only say that it is worthy of its subject.
