[Footnote 5:] [According] to treaty, the Bhopal State pays nearly two lakhs of rupees a year towards the cost of the local battalion maintained by the British Government for the purpose of keeping order within the State itself. The battalion, however, has only four, instead of eight, British officers, and it appeared to me only reasonable that the Begum should be invited to pay the additional amount necessary to make the battalion as efficient as the rest of the Native army, as a 'premium of insurance' for the peace and prosperity which Her Highness's State enjoys under our protection, and as her quota towards the general scheme for the defence of the Empire.]
[Footnote 6:] [Rissala] is a body of Cavalry.]
FOOTNOTES, CHAPTER [LXVIII]
[Footnote 1:] The late Lieutenant-General Sir W.K. Elles, K.C.B.]
[Footnote 2:] [A] detachment of the Calcutta Volunteer Rifles, at the particular request of the regiment, took part in the expedition, and did good service.]
[Footnote 3:] [The] pay of the Native Infantry has been suitably increased since I left India.]
[Footnote 4:] [Jagirs] are grants of land.]
[Footnote 5:] [Batta], extra allowances given to Native soldiers when proceeding on field service.]
[Footnote 6:] [During] the Mutiny the casualties amongst the British officers with the six Punjab regiments which saw the most fighting amounted to 60 per cent.! Luckily, these were able to be replaced by officers belonging to corps which had mutinied. This supply, however, has long since been used up, and it behoves the Government either to provide an adequate reserve of officers, or to arrange for a sufficient number being sent out from England whenever India is likely to be engaged in a serious war.
