I have great pleasure in endorsing
the high opinion I have always entertained of the exemplary character uniformly borne of Sargent Major James Sperryn of the 68th Nat Inf since he finished the Big insurrection in 1844- exhibiting as it was those qualifications in a Non Commissioned Officer that personally qualifies him for the responsible and important position he has xxxxx, and stamping him as deserving the support and rxxard hxxxout to those who exhibit qualities that rxxxxr those? the sxxxing of advancement. Sargent Major Sperryn was engaged in the battle of "Sobraon" and distinguished him self by his gallant intrepidity in being among the hxxxrs and charging the Men forward at the critical moment of xxtxing the Enemy's Works - on that occasion his cool demeanour was the remark and admiration of all who witnessed his conduct and can bear testimony to his conspicuous galantry on that eventful day.
