of the British position, and was forcing back one of the companies of
the 95th, Colborne, seeing his left endangered, started the 52nd on

Guards faced the advancing Imperial Guards on the summit of the hill,

without other prompting than that of his own genius for battle,
advanced against their flank.” Created Baron Seaton, of Seaton, Devon,
