[Dum-Dum was the HQ of the Bengal Artillery and is on the outskirts of Calcutta.]He served with this company until 1816, when he was transferred to the 4th Company 2nd Battalion at Cawnpore. In February and March 1817 he was present with the company at the siege and capture of Hathras, and he also served with it in the Mahratte-Pindari campaign of 1817-1818, taking part in the reduction of the forts of Dhamoni, Mandala and Garrakota.
[Hathras: "The fort was one of the strongest in Upper India until 1817, when it was captured by Maj.-Gen. Marshall, after a short siege, and dismantled" (from Murray's Handbook to India, Burma and Ceylon, pub. 1938.)]
[Mahratta campaign was fought near Mehidpoor (or Mahidpoor), on the Sipree river in the Deccan. The Pindarees were defeated at Jawud (or Jadud). (from "A Students' Manual of the History of India" by Meadows Taylor, pub. 1879.)]In November 1818 he was removed to the 2nd Company, 1st Battalion at Dum-Dum, but within a fortnight this was altered into a transfer to the 5th Company of the same Battalion, then serving with the Narbadda Field Force, and before the end of the month his name was transferred to the rolls of the 1st Company of the battalion at Fategarh, with, however, the proviso that he was to go on and join and do duty with the 5th Company 2nd Battalion.
In the following year he was removed to the 6th Company 3rd Battalion, and later, in July 1819, to the 8th Company 2nd Battalion which he joined at Cawnpore, and with which he proceeded to Benares in 1820 and to Dum-Dum, and thence, on command, to Dacca in 1822.
In January 1824 he went home on furlough. On his return in October 1825 he joined, at Dum-Dum, the 2nd Company 2nd Battalion to which he then stood posted. In July 1826 he was removed to the 1st Company 2nd Battalion, at the same station, but in the following December he was transferred to the 2nd Troop 2nd Brigade, Horse Artillery (the Rocket Troop), which he joined at Meerut in the following year.
