On April 17th, 1878 a telegram from Calcuttta was received in London announcing that orders had been received by the Indian Government to despatch 7,000 native troops to Malta; the Regiments chosen from Bengal being the 9th Light Cavalry, the 13th and 31st Infantry and the 2nd Gurkhas; from Bombay, the 1st Light Cavalry, and two Regiments of Native Infantry; and from Madras, the 25th Infantry. There were also four Companies of Sappers and Miners, and two field batteries of British Artillery. | en_GB |
