'Colonel Charles George Hayter, C.B., who died on May 1, was in the fiftieth year of his age. At the age of sixteen he went to India as a cadet in the Hon. East India Company's service, and served with distinction throughout the Indian Mutiny. He also took an active part in the Bhootan War of 1861 and 1865, and in the expedition against the Nagas in 1867. He distinguished himself during both the Afghan Campaigns, from 1878 to 1880, when he was promoted to be Lieutenant-Colonel, having been mentioned in despatches, and received the thanks of the Governor-General of India in Council for his services. During the Egyptian Campaign in 1882 he was appointed Director of Transport, and was present at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir in Egypt, when he was again mentioned in despatches; he was then made a C.B., and received no less than seven decorations for his war services'.
