The six companies of the SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment returned to head-quarters on the 26th of May.
On the 11th of May, four companies embarked from Bombay for Surat, and were present on the 8th, 18th, 21st, and 28th of June, when possession was taken of the towns and forts of Nunderbar, Cokermundaye, Toulodah, and Kopriel.
In the middle of September the first battalion embarked in three divisions for the Deccan, and arrived at Seroor on the 5th of October following; on the 30th of October the regiment marched from Seroor, and arrived at Mallygaum, the head-quarters of the troops in Candeish, on the 11th of November. Colonel Huskinson,[12] of the SIXTY-SEVENTH, being the senior officer, assumed the command of the troops.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of His Majesty, was pleased, on the 24th of October, 1818, to appoint Lieut.-Colonel John Frederick Ewart, of the SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment, to which he had exchanged from half-pay of the Fifth West India regiment, on the 5th of February, 1818, a Companion of the most Honorable Military Order of the Bath.
The force commanded by Colonel S. Huskinson, of which the SIXTY-SEVENTH formed part, marched on the 25th of November for the attack of the towns and forts of Amulneir and Behauderpore, which surrendered at discretion on the 30th of November and the 1st of December, and of which possession was taken, the first place by the flank companies of the regiment, and the latter by the auxiliary horse under Captain Swanton.
Colonel Huskinson, commanding the troops at Candeish, in his despatch to the Resident, the Honorable Mountstuart Elphinstone, dated Camp before Amulneir, 30th of November, 1818, stated,—
"It gives me the greatest satisfaction to have to announce to you, for the information of the Most Noble the Governor-General in India, that the fort of Amulneir surrendered unconditionally to the force I have the honor to command, about noon this day, where, as soon after as possible, Brevet Major Owen, of His Majesty's SIXTY-SEVENTH regiment, by my orders, occupied the whole of the gates and fort with part of the flank companies of that regiment. This service, I am happy to say, was effected without firing a shot. May I request your orders respecting the disposal of Ally Jemadar and his followers, who are now prisoners in camp."
Here the four companies, which left head-quarters in May, rejoined the regiment.
Leaving Amulneir on the 4th of December, the SIXTY-SEVENTH proceeded to Malligaum, where the battalion arrived on the 14th of that month.
