Medical History of H. M. \5lh Hussars, 



385 



in Bengal most, if not all, exposed duties are done by Sepoys. 

 This becomes important to note, as the Forage cap in use 

 with the the 15th Hussars, appears but an imperfect protec- 

 tion to the head, and may have had much influence in pre- 

 disposing to the numerous cases of paralysis during the past 

 two years, and was therefore noticed in the Sanatory Re- 

 port. 



The following is the Commanding Officer's scale of guard 

 for the past year. 



" The daily detail of duty generally performed at this station, by the Re- 

 giment under my command has been as under."

The Mess Guard and Pay Master's guard we have only 

 seen at this presidency, but the men on that duty have now a 

 comfortable guard house, still we should recommend their 

 abolition. 



The foregoing detail of duty is very large for a tropical 

 country, yet it does not give an accurate statement of the 

 actual duty performed by the men, who are thus actually 

 occupied, and the following table will illustrate this.
