The stick was stolen, as well as the tassels, which were cut from the colours ; but the thieves were not discovered.
Early in 1859, wnen tne regiment was at "LUCKNOW" 137 Allahabad, cholera broke out and carried off 46 men in a few weeks. Later in the year the disease reappeared and 24 men were lost. From January 12, 1858, to August 18, i860, the Depot sent out to India 16 officers, 3 sergeants, 1 drummer, 10 corporals, and 633 privates. Owing to the heavy casualties in the service companies th...e regiment fell far below its establishment, and great exertions were made to obtain recruits, at first without much success, but later with better results, for while in four months of 1857 only 52 were got, in 1858 307 were obtained. The total number of recruits for five years was 892.
Before leaving Calcutta for England in March i860 the Victoria Cross was presented to Sergeant Grant and Private M'Hale. This ceremony took place in presence of the garrison of Fort William. In his letter recommending M'Hale the commanding officer said : " His conduct has won the praise of every officer of his regiment who had seen him in action, and his name has become a household word for gallantry amongst his comrades/ ' CHAPTER XI MINOR CAMPAIGNS In the long life of the Fifth there have been in many odd corners of the world minor campaigns in which the regiment has taken part.
