PARTIAL DESCRIPTION FROM THE BIOGRAPHY: MAJOR-GENERAL J.. P. BRABAZON, C.B. The military career of Major-General John Palrner Brabazon is of exceptional interest, inasmuch as it furnishes an instance in which an officer left the army,after obtaining Captain's rank, and rejoined it as a subaltern at the age of thirty-one. It certainly speaks well for General Brabazon, that, notwithstanding the serious disadvantages under which he laboured when he determined to return to military duty, he has gone steadily forward, until he occupies to-day, a prominent position in South Africa. Born on February 12th, 1843, it was on February 4th, 1863, that Gentleman Cadet Brabazon, was gazetted to a Cornetcy in the 16th Lancers. Six months afterwards, the young " Scarlet Lancer" was promoted to the rank of Ensign and Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, and on July 10th, 1869, he was further advanced to the rank of Lieutenant and Captain. On February 26th, 1870, he exchanged to the 69th,Regiment, and on September 24th, 1870, retired from the service by the sale of his commission. .
