Hello List Further to the previous correspondence, here are some more references to Captain James Stewart. This link, page 57 from Battles of the Honourable East India Company: Making of the Raj by M. S. Naravane says that Capt Stewart prior to the expedition had visited Poona and made secret observations of the Marathas and had written a report, one of two which convinced the Bombay government a successful war could be waged. http://books.google.com.au/books?id=bxsa3jtHoCEC&pg=PA57 or http://tinyurl.com/2cebydy This link, page 126 (onwards) from A history of the Maratha people, Volume 3 (1750-1818)] by C.A Kincaid and R B D B Parasnis 1918 Archive.org gives details of Capt Stewart's death when he climbed a tree to reconnoitre the enemy's position. CA Kincaid was the author of the book on Captain Stewart mentioned in an earlier email http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofmaratha03kincuoft#page/126/mode/2up/s earch/Stewart or http://tinyurl.com/25rchnw This link from the Chandigarh Tribune Online 17 November 2003 about a current battalion states it traces its history to 1778 when it was raised by Capt James Stewart at Mumbai as an ad hoc Grenadiers battalion by taking two Grenadiers companies each from the three sepoy battalions of the erstwhile Bombay Army. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20031118/cth1.htm#9 or http://tinyurl.com/2bhr4fa The FIBIS Fibiwiki has the page 101st Grenadiers http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=101st_Grenadiers which gives brief details, including the link just mentioned. 17th-18th Century Burney Collection Newspapers, has an item from Gazetteer and New Daily Advertiser (London, England), Friday, September 10, 1779; Issue 15 781 "Extract of a Letter from an Officer at Bombay, March 16,1779". All that is said about Capt James Stewart, was he was killed, along with the second in command Lieutenant Colonel Cay , and they were "two of our best officers". Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
