Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Alison, Bart., C.B., 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Irvine. 'This distinguished officer, who has been raised from the Companionship to the Knighthood of the Bath, for his services in the Ashantee War, holds the rank of Colonel in the Army, but acted as Brigadier-General during the late campaign...He served, as a Captain in the Crimean War, at the siege of Sebastopol, and in the expedition to Kertch. He received two medals and a clasp and the Turkish medal for his conduct in that war. In the war of the Indian Mutiny Major Alison was Military Secretary to Field Marshal Lord Clyde, and lost his left arm at the siege of Lucknow...As Brigadier, serving in the late Ashantee War, under Sir Garnet Wolseley, he commanded the front column, composed of the 42nd Highlanders and some of the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers, at the battle of Amoaful, on Jan. 31'.
