    --- "Leicester Journal" 30 Oct 1812, page 4
    WAR DEPARTMENT.--- Downing-street,
    October 25.
    A dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been this day received at Earl Bathurst's office, addressed to his Lordship by General the Marquess of Wellington, dated Villa Toro, 11th of October, 1812.

    The enemy have made two sorties on the head of the sap, between the exterior and interior lines of the Castle of Burgos, in both of which they materially injured our works, and we suffered some loss. In the last, at three in the morning of the 8th, we had the misfortune to lose the Hon. Major Cocks, of the 79th, who was Field-officer of the trenches, and was killed in the act of rallying the troops who had been driven in. I have frequently had occasion to draw your Lordship's attention to the conduct of Major Cocks, and in one instance very recently, in the attack of the hornwork ofthe Castle of Burgos, and I consider his loss as one of the greatest importance to this army and to his Majesty's service
