French, under Marshal Bernadotte, entered Hanover, Wagenheim, by that
time an aged general, attended his levée. Bernadotte asked him if he
recollected the wounded French sergeant to whom he had been so kind
at Cuddalore. The general replied in the affirmative. “That young
sergeant,” replied the future king of Sweden, “was the person who
has now the honour to address you, and who rejoices in having this
public opportunity of acknowledging his debt of gratitude to General
Wagenheim.”

Here also were engaged some 300 marines under Major Monson, and in
the ranks of his command served a certain Hannah Snell. “She behaved
with conspicuous courage, and received a ball in the groin, which she
herself extracted two days afterwards. Eleven other wounds in both
legs rendered her removal to the hospital at Cuddalore absolutely
necessary, and, having returned home, her sex was not discovered until
she obtained her discharge. She afterwards wore the marine dress, and,
having presented a petition to H.R.H. the Duke of Cumberland, obtained
a pension of £30 a year for life.”

For a time hostilities languished, but they were resumed against the
Mysoreans in 1789, when Cannanore was taken; and finally, in 1792,
Tippoo’s capital, Seringapatam, fell, and his two sons were left as
hostages for the fulfilment of the treaty of peace that followed.

All this led to increased interest in Indian affairs by the home
Government, and a corresponding increase in the number of European
troops employed. In India there were by now the 23rd Light Dragoons, a
regiment of Hanoverians, the 74th, 75th, 76th, and 77th Regiments of
the line, together with the 98th, and the European Regiments of the
East India Company; so that in 1784 the white troops numbered nearly
18,000 men. Hostilities recommenced in 1799 with Tippoo, and this time
