    1. Re: [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Medal Roll - Indian Mutiny
    2. Moira Breen
    3. Hi Peter: My g-grandfather John Breen who is on the Mutiny Medal Roll was with The First Madras Fusiliers an all British regiment with the Hon. East India Company and when the Mutiny broke out, this regiment was sent by boat fom Madras to Calcutta and up the Ganges River, partly by train, boat and bullock cart to Cawnpore and Lucknow, under the command of Colonel Neill - this took almost three weeks! This is described in detail in "Neill's Blue Caps" 1639-1826  by Col. H.C. Wylley, C. B., Gale and Polden Ltd. A few years ago only about seven copies were available of this work - I borrowed it from the Library in Minnesota - but I believe it has since been reprinted and the cost is reasonable.  Moira Breen USA ________________________________ From: Peter Rogers <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, June 16, 2010 4:05:38 AM Subject: Re: [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Medal Roll - Indian Mutiny Query? Isn't this Medal Roll only British Army Troops not the Hon East India Coy's Army?
