Mr Cornwell, I have been an avid reader of Sharpe’s adventures (since 1997). I recently read Sharpe’s Triumph and in the epilogue you mention that you wished that a suitable marker be installed on site. You might want to write the Colonel of the Madras Regiment and ask if it were possible. All ranks of the regiment honor the memory of that remarkable battle by wearing the regimental insignia as a belt. http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Army/Regiments/Madras.html. Incidentally, the Regimental headquarters (and the staff college) are in Wellington, a small town near Ooty, the hill resort in Southern India. Another bit of Indian army trivia you might be interested in is that some units of the Madras regiments were transfered to a new unit called the Punjab regiment which fought with great distinction in the Great War (Ypres, Flanders, 1915).
