Note 19 — SIEGE AND STORM OF BHURTPORE. January, 1826.

In consequence of the scarcity of European infantry with the infantry, it was deemed necessary to call for volunteers from the cavalry, each King’s regiment to furnish three officers and eighty rank and file. This number was at once obtained. The officers’ names were Captain Browne, Lieutenant Windus, and Comet Pearson, of the 11th. Dragoons, and Captain Luard, and Lieutenants McConchy and Walker, of the 16th. Lancers. Viscount Combermere had formerly served in the latter regiment.
