Record of Achievement
His Majesty, King George
 * December 3rd, 1724 - Arrived in Caribbean, Commissioned as Gentleman in the St. George Squadron of the White.
 * December 30th, 1724 - Promoted to Esquire, Saint George Squadron of the White.
 * May 5th, 1725 - Mentioned in the dispatches and awarded the Military Cross. Nominated by: Jackie Tollbrook.

I hereby petition that you recognize Captain Mark Dampier and bestow upon him the Military Cross for Valour in battle against the enemies of the British Empire.

On April the Eighteenth of this year, Captain Dampier, having only just gained command of a ship of the line, did sally forth against the French in defence of the port of Jaqueme. Though the battle was hard fought, Captain Dampier's ship suffered critical damage in the exchange and he was forced to retire from the battle.

Undeterred, the good captain expedited his repairs, and was able to sally forth against the French a second time, in defence of Leogane, where he - along with all other British forces present - was defeated by the powerful French naval force.

Captain Dampier's courage in the face of the enemy can naught but serve as a shining example to all who sail under British colors.

Sincerely,

Captain Dame Jacqueline Marie Tollbrook, KB, SGC
