I was under the impression that the Sepoys were native Indians who were part of the British Army.

That's what I said; privates in the British Indian Army, i.e. Indian troops in British service, which is different from the regular British Army. Perhaps I should have said, "Army of the Raj"?

I went to school with Raj. What does he have to do with this? Todd, pick up "Ben Nevis goes East" a follow up to Compton MacKenzie's Monarch of the Glen and Whisky Galore. Ben Nevis's son Hector is stationed in India.
