With the exception of the two Bombay corps, all the native Indians lost fewer men than the European corps. After they marched from Kossier, and till the plague appeared in the two Bombay battalions, where it committed the greatest ravages, they were the two most healthy corps in the army. The Bengal volunteer-battalion, composed of volunteers for the expedition to Egypt, from different regiments of Sepoys in Bengal, was a fine body of men, and they were mostly what are called old or made soldiers. They were in general very healthy, and during the campaign their loss was very inconsiderable. Though the plague at one time appeared in this corps, yet, by the system established throughout the army by this time, and by the active vigilance of the officers of the corps, the contagion was extinguished; and, though the plague prevailed in every other corps, it never subsequently visited this battalion. The Artillery-Lascars were, on the whole, very healthy throughout the campaign. The few deaths which they had were from dysentery. The 1st Bombay regiment, after recovering from the fever contracted on ship-board, continued healthy, and suffered few deaths but from the plague. It was remarked, that this corps effected the march across the desert of Thebes, as well as that over the isthmus of Suez, with less difficulty than any corps in the army. In general, we observed that the native troops endured this better than the European. It ought not to be forgotten, that, under Captain Mahoney, detachments from the native corps were employed, some time before the march of the army, in clearing the roads, digging wells, and on other duties of fatigue more harassing than any that fell to the lot of any other part of the army. Nevertheless, these men continued in a high state of health. At the period when the plague attacked the 7th Bombay regiment, they were far from unhealthy. The prodigious loss of this corps, which appears in the annexed table, was at first from the fever which raged at sea, and subsequently from the plague, which continued to persecute this corps from December, when it broke out among them, till the whole army was embarked at Suez. The pioneer-corps was uncommonly healthy till they came to El Hammed. Here they had much severe duty. They were employed in building the hospitals, and very often in cutting the reeds by the river-side, or in conveying them through marshes. A very considerable share of the intermittents that prevailed in the army was from this corps.
