A History of the Mahrattas v2.c57.51

v2.c57.51

¹ To commemorate this glorious defence, a monument was erected by Government, recording the names of those who fell; the corps was made grenadiers, as their 1st battalion had been, for the defence of Mangalore, and ‘Mangalore and Korygaom’ became the animating motto of the regiment. [The 2nd Battalion, 1st N.I. Regiment, which fought this action, is now the 102nd King Edward’s Own Grenadiers. The monument erected by Government consists of a stone obelisk, which still stands at Koregāon. (B.C.G., ii. 269.)]
