"Veteran soldier dead," Inverness Courier, April 4, 1913, p. 5f.
 
"The death occurred yesterday morning at Bathampton, near Bath, of Lieut.-General Frederick George Thomas Deshon, C.B., in his 95th year. He entered the army in the year Queen Victoria ascended the throne, and served in the Seinde and the South Mahratta campaigns and the Crimean War, being present at the siege of Sebastopol. Until the end of last week he enjoyed good health, but was taken ill on Sunday, and gradually sank. A few years ago he was made Colonel of his old regiment, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry."
