[Illustration: BELOOCHEE STANDARD, CAPTURED AT THE BATTLE OF MEEANEE, BY THE XXII REGIMENT, ON THE 17^{TH} FEBRUARY 1843. SILVER MEDAL STRUCK IN COMMEMORATION OF THE BATTLES OF MEEANEE AND HYDERABAD, IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 1843. _For Cannon's Military Records._ _Madeley lith. 3 Wellington S^t. Strand._] _Description of the Beloochee Standard captured at the Battle of_ MEEANEE, _on the 17th of February, 1843._ The Beloochee Standard, represented in the engraving, was taken at the Battle of _Meeanee_, on the 17th of February, 1843, by Private James O'Neill of the TWENTY-SECOND regiment, as narrated at page 35 of the Historical Record. The Standard is triangular; the longest side is about seven feet in length, and the other sides measure each about five feet. The Staff is nine feet in length. The Standards captured at the Battle of _Hyderabad_, on the 24th of March, 1843, were of a similar rude description, and do not afford a just idea of the Army which they may be supposed to have led on. No person, on viewing these Trophies, would suppose the Beloochee Army, to which they belonged, to have been composed of men so gallant and so formidable; so well armed, and so expert in the use of their arms, as the Scindian troops proved themselves in these battles. _Description of the Silver Medal struck in commemoration of the Victories of_ MEEANEE _and_ HYDERABAD, _and conferred on the Officers and Men engaged in those Battles._ On the obverse; the bust of HER MAJESTY, with the inscription "VICTORIA REGINA." On the reverse; the words "MEEANEE," "HYDERABAD," "1843," enclosed within branches of Laurel, and surmounted by the Imperial Crown. FOOTNOTES: [6] Cape Breton had been captured by the British in 1745, but was restored to the French at the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. It was retaken in 1758 (as above narrated), and was finally ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of Fontainebleau, in 1763. [7] The grenadier company of the TWENTY-SECOND regiment, which had been incorporated with the "_Louisburg Grenadiers_," formed part of the armament, and was engaged in the battle on the heights of Abraham on the 13th of September, 1759.
