Nomination for deletion
As a result of the AFD on this article, I've done a bit of digging in the London Gazette. From number Arbuthnot&selMedalType=&selHonourType= 25505 of 25 August 1885. Searching via http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveSearch.asp?WebType=0&Referer=full for William Arbuthnot between 1838 and 1893 generates 35 hits, some evidently not this chap, but I've only actually looked through the first few

"[p3] In closure. List of Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men whose services are deserving of Special Mention. [...] [p5] GENERAL OFFICERS AND OFFICERS ON HALF-PAY. [...] Colonel W. Arbuthnot. [p9, para 29] [...] Colonel W. Arbnthnot acted as Deputy Adjutant-General, and is a most able Staff Officer. He carried on the duties of the Adjutant-General's Department to my entire satisfaction. [p12] [...] To be Ordinary Members of the Military Division of the Third Class, or Companions of the said Most Honourable Order, viz. :— [...] Colonel William Arbuthnot, half-pay."

If someone has the time, it may be worth going through more? David Underdown 10:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * 26458 is relevant. 1st 2 are not. 26457 and 26388-26455 are not. - Kittybrewster  (talk) 14:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
