On reverse plans and sections of ordnance inscribed: ‘A 10 inch Mortar and Bed. C.D. Waddell’.
Note: Major Schoedde was in charge of the assault on Chinkiang. The fleet anchored off the town, situated on the grand canal, on 19 July 1842. The artillery dropped a quarter mile down the canal to escape enemy fire and approached overland. Waddell was severely wounded during this exercise. A fellow artillery officer, Lieutenant Baker, was the first to mount the assault when the walls were escaladed.
