	Sir Eyre Coote
		Coote's conduct won him the rank of lieutenant-colonel and the command of the 84th regiment, newly raised for Indian service, but his exertions seriously injured his health.
		Soon afterwards Coote was given the command of the East India Company's forces in Bengal, and conducted the settlement of a serious dispute between the Nawab Mir Cassim and a powerful subordinate, and in 1762 he returned to England, receiving a jewelled sword of honor from the Company and other rewards for his great services.
		The battle was won by Coote under most unfavorable conditions against odds of five to one, and is justly ranked as one of the greatest feats of the British in India.

	Stephen Wood, Research and Consultancy in Military History
		Born in Ireland in 1759, he was the nephew of General Sir Eyre Coote, KB (1726-83), who had already distinguished himself during numerous campaigns in India and who was to continue to dominate military affairs in the sub-continent until his death at Madras in 1783.
		Thus, in 1797, Eyre Coote was thirty-eight years old, a colonel in the Army and holding local rank in Ireland as a brigadier-general while he commanded the garrison at Bandon, fifteen miles south-west of Cork, a command to which he had been appointed in 1796.
		Coote was found guilty of conduct unbecoming to the character of an officer and gentleman and dismissed the Army, losing his rank, his privileges and his knighthood.
