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.
