This battery doubtless landed with a full establishment, and the 
reduction of baggage ordered must have curtailed the above numbers 
had the battery proceeded to the front, yet the great advantage of a liberal 
establishment, and of a fixed scale of baggage animals under battery arrange¬ 
ments is worthy of attention. 
N.B. Before 5/25th E.A. embarked at Calcutta, it was intended to 
furnish a detachment of 28 gunners for the mortars to be carried with the 
force, and this number of men had been added to the original strength.
