It will be seen by the above how little the Seventy-first has profited by the Depôt Brigade system. HARRISON AND SONS, PRINTERS IN ORDINARY TO HER MAJESTY, ST. MARTIN’S LANE. FOOTNOTES: [1] Journal of a French officer. [2] Major in the Seventy-third, Lieut.-Colonel by “local” rank, dated 23rd May, 1781. [3] The effective return of the regiment at this time was 29 officers, 934 sergeants, rank and file. [4] On the 23rd of May, 1821, His Majesty King George IV was graciously pleased to authorise the Seventy-first to bear on the regimental colours and appointments the word “Hindoostan” in commemoration of its distinguished services in the several actions in which it had been engaged, while in India, between the years 1780 and 1797. [5] The royal authority was subsequently granted for the Seventy-first to bear the words “Cape of Good Hope” on the regimental colours and appointments, to commemorate its distinguished gallantry at the capture of that colony. [6] The absurdly contradictory name of Glasgow Highland Light Infantry has not been in use for many years. [7] The correct number of rank and file wounded is not given.
