This order to be translated, and to be read to every
regiment, European and native, serving in Sind.
By order,
(Signed) E. Gheen , Major,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Extract from General Orders hy His Excellency Major
General Sir C. Napier, G.C.B., Governor of Siyid.
Head Quarters, Truhkee, 1 \th March 1845.
Twenty-five brave robbers, on foot, well armed with
swords, shields, and matchlocks, met twenty of the Sind
Horse patroling in the desert. The robbers gave a volley
and charged. The Sind Horse met them ; a combat with
sabres ensued. The Sind Horse had one man killed and
two wounded ; four horses killed and two wounded. Of
the enemy, every man fell, sword in hand. Quarter was
repeatedly offered to these stern gladiators, but they
refused, and every robber bit the dust. Honour be to their
courage—more honour to their conquerors. Another laurel
leaf has been added to the rich wreath of Jacob's Horse.
The conduct of Jemedar Guftbor Mahomed and his com
panions demands the Governor's highest approbation; and
he will report their gallantry to the Governor General of
India, and to the Commander in Chief of the Bombay
army, as soon as Captain Jacob sends in the names of these
brave men.*
(Signed) C. J. Napier, G .C.B.,
Governor of Sind.
True extract, (Signed) E. Green , Major,
Assistant Adjutant General.
♦ Sir W. Napier calls the detacliment of the Sind Irregular Horse
mentioned in this order "Moguls" ; he might as well style the Men of
Kent " Jutts."—The men of the Sind Irregular Horse are Hindoo-
•tanees.
