The late Colonel Charles Chesney, R.E., 1876. Creator: Unknown.

The late Colonel Charles Chesney, R.E., 1876. 'Colonel Charles Cornwallis Chesney, an accomplished officer of the scientific branch of the Army...bore worthily the name thus inseparably connected with the triumphs of English exploration and engineering...it was at the Royal Military Staff College at Sandhurst that he chiefly worked, not only as professor of the military art and history, but also in the schools and institutions connected with that neighbourhood...In 1863 (when Captain Chesney) he published his "Campaigns in Virginia and Maryland;" and in 1868 his "Waterloo Lectures." which made his name almost as familiar in Germany as in England...Colonel Chesney's name is connected with all the late Army reforms, and it is not too much to say that his early death is a public loss, and one that will be long and deeply deplored'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
