Indies.

* The dates here, and the comment are confused. "in the East Indies" is written
in pencil whilst the line above is in ink, so it is not clear whether the two
lines are meant to be read together. However, the fact that William was at the
battle with the Ghurkas at Baitool in 1815 and in the Deccan campaign in 1826
suggest that he served 17 years in the East Indies, making the
"From" and "To" dates correct and the "Years" incorrect. The total of "Years"
and "Days" at the foot of the table must be an error.
