Watching events in Guzerat was General Sir H. Grant Keir, with the 17th Lancers, the 47th (Loyal North Lancashires), and four battalions of Bombay native infantry; whilst at Nagpore was Colonel Adams, with a regiment of Bengal and one of Madras cavalry, and seven battalions of Madras infantry. Reserve Bombay Division (Brigadier Munro): 22nd Light Dragoons, 7th Madras Cavalry, a battalion composed of the flank companies of the 34th, 53rd, 69th, and 84th Regiments, the 1st Bombay European Regiment, and three battalions of Bombay sepoys. Prior to the army being put in motion, we had as garrisons at the various capitals, or in their immediate vicinity, the following troops: At Secunderabad, watching the Nizam, a wing of the Madras European Regiment and three battalions of Madras sepoys. At Poonah, watching the Peishwa, a detachment of the Bombay European Regiment and four battalions of Bombay sepoys, whilst another detachment of the 65th Foot (York and Lancaster) was on the march as a reinforcement. At Nagpore were the 6th Bengal Cavalry, the Madras Bodyguard, and two battalions of sepoys. KIRKEE, NOVEMBER 5, 1817. This honour is borne on the colours of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. 102nd Grenadiers. 113th Infantry. 112th Infantry. 123rd Outram's Rifles. The attitude of the Peishwa's advisers left little room for doubt as to their intentions, and Colonel Burr, who was in command at Poona, took the necessary steps to secure the safety of the Resident and to maintain a hold on the capital of the Mahratta Confederacy. He concentrated his forces at Kirkee, where on November 5 he was attacked by the whole of the Peishwa's army. From a study of the casualties, it would appear that the British regiment was not engaged seriously, and there is no doubt that the brunt of the fighting fell on the Bombay sepoys, who behaved with exemplary steadiness. The result of the day was a serious check to the Peishwa's forces, our losses being inconsiderable. General Lionel Smith now pushed up reinforcements, and assumed command at Poona, where, on the 17th of the month, a second action was fought, known as the Battle of Poona; and though this is not borne on the colours of the regiments engaged, the troops present were awarded the India medal, with a clasp inscribed "Poona." Those who were at both engagements received one clasp, with the names of both actions engraved. CASUALTIES AT THE ACTION AT KIRKEE, NOVEMBER 5, 1817.
