Action in Sindh
In 1843 the 10th Regiment was sent to Sindh to reinforce Sir Charles James Napier : it started with a strength of fourteen European officers and one thousand native officers and sepoys. After about a year and a half in Sindh the corps marched back to Hindustan, through the desert, with only two officers and about three hundred men remaining out of the fine body that a short eighteen months previously had left the country.

Famous quotes containing the word action:
“These people who are always briskly doing something and as busy as waltzing mice, they have little, sharp, staccato ideas.... But they have no slow, big ideas. And the fewer consoling, noble, shining, free, jovial, magnanimous ideas that come, the more nervously and desperately they rush and run from office to office and up and downstairs, thinking by action at last to make life have some warmth and meaning.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
