Excerpt from Ten Years in India, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the Life of a Young Officer

The Guards, being inspected, are marched off to their respective posts, sentries are thrown out over the arms, the colours are lodged in due form, and a guard placed over them. All the married men, as well as others who have relations and families, run down the road to help up their baggage and bullocks; while the care-for-nothing bachelors di vest themselves Of their uniforms, and put on the light, comfortable, and cool apparel of their country, and walk about, or assist in pitching their tents immediately in rear Of their piles of muskets, which make a formidable show, regularly ranged as they are in one extensive line from right to left, with their angry bayonets glittering in the bright sun shine.
