1 248 MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT.
2 After the review the Shah Zada and his suite
3 returned to camp, and the members of the
4 ‘Mission went to the Gor Katra to breakfast
5 with General Avitabile. Several arrangements
6 were made regarding the medical establish-
7 ment, the labour of which was much increased
8 owing to the augmentation of our camp. Re-
9 spective duties were assigned at the same time
10 men attached to them being hadly dressed in old coats of
11 divers colours, and the ordnance not having even clean-
12 liness to recommend it. Two or three regiments of in-
13 fantry came next, the soldiers being accoutred in red
14 jackets and white trowsers, black cross-belts, and pink silk
15 turbans. Adjoining them ranged some more foot artillery,
16 bad in every respect; about as many more regiments of
17 infantry, and three guns again to their right. We then
18 reached the cavalry, the dragoons occupying the left.
19 These were well mounted, and form a fine body of men
20 and horses; their dress I have already described. On
21 their right were two regiments of Allard’s cuirassiers, the
22 most noble-looking troops on parade. The men and
23 horses were all picked, and amongst the former are to be
24 seen many stalwart fellows, who appear to advantage
25 under their cuirasses and steel casques. Many of the
26 officers wear brass cuirasses; and their commandant is
27 perhaps the finest man of the whole body, and looked
28 extremely well in front of his superb regiment.”-—Barr’s
