Colonel Thomas Heatcote Stisted retired by sale of commission in 1870. Still in Harts Army List in 1890. Whilst serving in the Indian Mutiny Major Stisted and four troopers were in dire peril on a sandbank, in the swollen Raptee river. Volunteering to swim to them in the turbulent waters, and under musketry fire, Major Charles C Fraser successfully rescued them from their seemingly hopeless position, for which he received the Victoria Cross and Royal Humane Society Silver/Gilt medal in 1860. London Gazette 8th November 1860. Major Charles Crauford Fraser VC 7th now 11th Hussars. On the 31st December 1858. For Conspicuous and cool Gallantry, in having volunteered at great personal risk, and under sharp musketry fire, to swim to the rescue of Captain Stisted and some men of the 7th Hussars, who were in imminent danger of being drowned in the River Raptee, whilst in pursuit of the rebels. Major Fraser succeeded in this gallant service, although at the same time partially disabled, not having recovered from a severe wound received in the right hand while leading a squadron in a charge against some fanatics in the action at Nawab-Gunge on the 13th June 1858. Described in Mr G W Forrest's History of the Indian Mutiny. Also received the gold class RHS medal for this deed. The brother of Lt Gen H W Stisted, son of Lt Col Charles and Caroline Edensor Heathcote Born 1826 Died 1905. Lord Clive of India's despatch 12/4/1859. On the 29th the troops returned to Nanparah, made a forced march on the night of the 30th to the vicinity of Bankee, where the enemy had loitered under the Nana. He was surprised and attacked with great vigour, driven through the jungle which he attempted to defend, finally into and across the Raptee, the 7th Hussars entering the river with the fugitives. On this occasion the troops distinguished themselves more particularly the 2nd Rifle Brigade under Colonel Hall, and the 7th Hussars under Lt Colonel sir William Russell. I have to deplore the loss of Major Horne of the 7th Hussars, who was drowned in the waters of the Raptee. He led the first wing of the regiment, Captain Stisted who led the 1st Squadron, was rescued with great difficulty from a similar fate. See Illustration
A THREE BAR MGS TO AN OFFICER IN THE 12th Lt DRAGOONS. A three bar Military General Service medal in unworn condition, correctly named to Lt E Penfold 12th Lt Dragoons. Confirmed on the roll as entitled to the medal with the clasps Nive-Nivelle and Vittoria. It was under the command of Sir James Stewart Bt, that his high principles and stringent desire to have only the best officers allowed into the Regiment. He required to know all details including Clubs and Lineage, before acceptance. Himself in debt for £4000 from the re-provisioning of his troops and horses, on return from the Egypt Campaign was taken in his stride. He was much a respected commanding officer, from his own words and actions. 'I look upon Officers as the main spring of the army and they should be formed out of the best and purest metal.' The Regimental History is full of the details to which he went, to only allow competent officers in his Regiment. In 1909 the Regiment had not seen active service for some time. They took part in the ill fated Walcheren expedition, though the Regiment never actually landed. Disease and quarrels between senior officers only put paid to the success of the attack. Then the Regiment was placed under the command of Lt Col the Hon Frederic Ponsonby, son of the Earl of Bessborough. Considered the 'beau ideal' of a Cavalry commander, his four years of service with the 12 Lt Dragoons were considered the most brilliant in their history. In 1813 on June 21st Wellington attacked at the Vittoria River, an attack by the 16th and 12th Lancers became a debacle. Ponsonby calmly walked his horse into the Melee, reforming the line. The attacked and drove back the French Cavalry, colliding them with their own Infantry. It was in this charge that Cornet Hammond was killed. Crossing into France was a scene of celebrations, Cpt's Andrews and Vandeluer had themselves rowed across to be the first British invaders. The 12th Dragoons in Hays column crossed into France in October 1813. On the 12th November they broke across the Nivelle, to capture a bridge that had been already blown up. Then onto the River Nive where they rode up almost to the walls of Bayonne. After a hard winter in February 1814 they saw their last minor action after entering Bordeaux to a rapturous welcome. It was against French Infantry at Etoliers, that they finished the campaign. Through the Peninsula the 12th never lost a piquet or patrol to capture, not a man deserted or tried by Court Martial. High praise indeed and such a magnificent record of service.. Edward Penfold was a Lt by purchase in 1812 having entered the Army as a Cornet 29/8/1811. without purchase. Put on Half Pay by reduction in the Regt in 1814. For many years after the reduction of the 12 Light Dragoons I fell anxiously desirious of being recalled to active service at the period when I possessed a strong constitution, but so much time has elapsed that my desire to resume the duties of a Subaltern, has for obvious reasons become not desirable. Edwin Stacey 1794-1860 married Maria Penfold 1799-1885 (Edwards sister). Their daughter was Camelia Sophia Stacey 1822-1905. Edward Penfold married in June 1822, residing at Tiverton Devon.
