Biography
68th Native Infantry
Lieut Stephen Nation of the 68th Regiment was arraigned on the following charge.
"With conduct highly unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having at Kyouk Phyoo, on the evening on the 20th March 1842, at a hostile meeting with Lieut and Brevet Captain George Perry Brooke, of the same corps, after two shots had been mutually exchanged, and the seconds had declared against the affair proceeding further, challenged Lieut and Brevet Cpt Brooke , to continue the duel, by insultingly and repeatedly saying to him "Stand to your ground if you are a man!', and in having, when Lieut and Brevet Cpt Brooke, by the advice of his second, declined to do so, grossly upbraided him for refusing the challenge, by repeatedly calling him a coward."
The Court found the prisoner, Stephen Nation, guilty and he was dismissed from the service.
