Five hundred and sixty non-commissioned officers and soldiers having volunteered to remain in India, transferring their services to other corps, the remainder of the regiment sailed for England in April, and in October anchored off the Nore, where the ship was placed under quarantine, Lieutenant John Campbell and several soldiers having died during the voyage. On the 23rd of October, the regiment landed at Gravesend, after an _absence from England of twenty-three years and four months_, bringing back only _two individuals_, MAJOR D. MARSTON and QUARTER-MASTER R. GILL, who embarked with it in June, 1796, the latter as a private. The regiment joined the depôt companies at Canterbury, where Lieut.-Colonel John Johnson succeeded to the lieut.-colonelcy, on the promotion of Colonel Fraser, C.B., to the rank of major-general. [Sidenote: 1820] During the winter, the regiment marched to Chichester, sending two companies to Brighton, and in April, 1820, it was removed to Weedon and Northampton, where two hundred and fifty recruits joined from Ireland. [Sidenote: 1821] [Sidenote: 1822] In February, 1821, the regiment proceeded to Chatham; in October it embarked at Bristol, for Ireland, and, after landing at Waterford, occupied quarters at that place, having nine detached parties, until April, 1822, when the head-quarters were removed to Naas, and in July, the regiment occupied Richmond barracks, Dublin. [Sidenote: 1823] From Dublin, the regiment proceeded, in May, 1823, to Athlone, and in October to Armagh, where the authority of His Majesty, King George IV., was received for bearing the word “INDIA” on the colours and appointments, “in consideration of the distinguished conduct of the regiment during the period of its service in India, from the year 1799, to the year 1819.” [Sidenote: 1824] [Sidenote: 1825] [Sidenote: 1826] In March, 1824, the head-quarters were removed to Newry; in January, 1825, the regiment proceeded to Naas; in June it was removed to Clonmel[12], and in the spring of 1826, it marched to Buttevant,--furnishing numerous detached parties. On quitting the south-west district, Major-General Sir Charles Doyle expressed, in a letter to the commanding officer, his “entire satisfaction” at the conduct of the regiment, while under his orders. Lieut.-Colonel Johnson retired on half-pay, and was succeeded as commanding officer, by Lieut.-Colonel Mallett, C.B., from the Eighty-ninth regiment.
