Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c44.s3.16

v4.c44.s3.16

The loss on the victorious side was heavy; it was mainly due to Captain Rohan’s reckless advance. Rohan himself, a Creole of the island of Bourbon, aged 61 years, with 40 years’ experience of Indian warfare, was shot through the thigh; he lingered till the 17th of September, when he died. Nine hundred of the disciplined infantry of De Boigne were killed or wounded. In the Maratha section of the army about 50 men were killed and 250 wounded,—their only officer casualties being Māloji Pinglé and Sukji Shindé killed and Shaikh Sharif wounded.
