Thanks for the information Baron, I shall look it up.

The 4th Native Infantry Regiment for the Army of the Pendawar Presidency. More on the blog for any interested passers by...

Did Indian (ie Sepoy) regiments of this period have a light company, as well as grenadiers? If not, what did they do for skirmishers?

Apparently not, they had two companies of Grenadiers according to Grant. I painted four figures to represent those. I'm surmising skirmishing not really a feature of the early C19th wars in India. The European regiments of the EIC had a Light and a Grenadier company, as did HM Regular battalions.

I likes them...

This is such a brilliant project and thread

Just bloody gorgeous.

Thank you for the kind words of appreciation for my meagre efforts, they are much appreciated. As a bonus 'Thank You' here is the #1 6lb brass gun and crew of the Bhyklawar Horse Artillery ~

MAGNIFICENT! My favourite uniform of all time.
