------------------------------------------------------------- The European Regiment was in the following palces: 1811 Dutch East Indies garrison and defence 1816 India 1824 Burma 1826 India 1835 Malucca ------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst there is no documentary evidence other than the raw records of his military career. An insight into life in the East India Company Regiments is provided by Lt Colonel WJ Wilson's History of the Madras Army (1883) . In volume3 pp384-6 he has the following observations. July 1814: Dress Regulations ------------------------------------------------------------- Wellington pantaloons and half boots are to be worn by all officers of engineers, artillery, infantry and pioneers. Black kid-skin* caps of the same muster in every respect as in use with the Madras European Regiment are to be worn by all officers of engineers, infantry and pioneers. For bad weather and cold climates, Wellington pantaloons of dark grey cloth are permitted to be worn quite plain without trimmings or ornament. plain great coats of the same colour are also established, made single-breasted withregimental buttons and distinguishing eppaulets or wings for all regimental officers. Sword belts and sashes are to be worn above the great coats. the full dress coats of the general staff as have facings are always to be worn with the lapels buttoned down. * These were found so unsuited to the climate that they were abolished in 1816. He was at the Madras Military Institution 1813-1814, two years later it was closed down. |
