Military List of Ceylon
This is not a definitive list of Military Personnel but rather a reflection of known personnel to date with some of the regiments based in Ceylon or the people involved in Ceylon. I encourage all to submit to me names not listed, ranks, and regiments you would like listed or even just technical background advice. Listing of names is not in date or any particular order other than rank.
A special mention to Major Anton Edema SLLI, for his generous contribution to this list, his time and effort in compiling the information has been invaluable.

73rd Regiment Soldier
78th Regiment of Foot “Seaforth Highlanders”
Stationed in Ceylon 1813; 9/8/1826-28/3/1837
78th Foot embarked from Ireland on board the vessel 'Hooghly' along with 2 other vessels on 21st April 1826 and disembarked at Colombo on 9th, 17th and 28th August 1826. By December 1828 the regiment were stationed at Kandy and in 1831 Trincomalee.
The regiment remained in garrison at Colombo, from its disembarkation until the 2nd of October 1828, when the first division marched for Kandy. "It was a great satisfaction to the officers of the regiment, to receive from the officers of the civil service their testimony to the good conduct of the men, that during nearly three years' residence in Kandy no complaint had ever been made of ill treatment or injustice by them to any of the natives.
On the 2nd of August 1831, the regiment received routes for four companies to Trincomalee, and to Galle. The companies for Trincomalee, with the headquarters, disembarked at their destination on the 22nd of August. A year after its arrival the station was attacked by cholera in its most malignant form, and the regiment suffered severely.
The crisis of the disease, both in the fort and in the hulk, was from the night of the 22nd to that of the 24th; in these 48 hours 25 men died. The cases after that became gradually fewer and less virulent, and, by the 2nd of November, the disease may be said to have entirely left the fort, Though it continued to rage among the natives outside for a month or six weeks longer. Altogether, in the 78th, there were attacked 182 men, 10 women, and 3 children, and of these there died 56 men, 2 women, and 1 child.
The regiment, after this lamentable visitation, became tolerably healthy, and continued so during the remainder of its stay at Trincomalee it returned to Colombo in October and November 1834, and remained there until September 1835, when it was ordered to Kandy.
Colonel Lindsay having embarked on leave of absence to England on the 11th of April 1836, the command of the regiment devolved on Major Douglas, who eventually succeeded to the lieutenant-colonelcy, on Colonel Lindsay selling out in April 1837.
The regiment remained in Kandy, detaching a company to Nuwera Elya, until the orders were received for its return to England on the 28th of March 1837; and on the 1st and 3rd of August it marched in two divisions to Colombo. At the different inspections, Sir John Wilson, the Major-General commanding, expressed his satisfaction with the general appearance and conduct of the regiment, and previous to the embarkation on its return to England, he issued an order conveying the high opinion he had formed of officers and men during their service in Ceylon.
Two companies had embarked on board the "Numa" transport on the 15th of May and on the 2nd of September following the headquarters embarked on board the "Barossa" transport, and sailed next day.
The deaths which took place during the service of the regiment in Ceylon were-Captains Macleod and Lardy, Paymaster Chisholm, and Assistant-Surgeon Duncan, with 295 men. Detachments had been received at various periods, But of the original number embarked from England, 1 field officer, 2 captains, 1 subaltern, 2 regimental staff, 3 sergeants, 4 drummers, and 208 rank and file returned. The total strength of the regiment on embarkation for England was -1 lieutenant-colonel, 5 captains, 9 subalterns, 3 regimental staff, 30 sergeants, 10 drummers, and 363 rank and file.

Ceylon Mounted Rilfes
Ceylon Mounted Rifles ‘Ceylon Mounted Infantry’
Brief History of the Ceylon Mounted Rifles. Compiled by Major Anton Edema ,SLLI
The Regiment was raised on the 12th of July 1892, by the late Colonel, Evelyn Gordon Reeves, VD who was in command until 1913, a period of 21 years.
It was then known as the “Ceylon Mounted Infantry”, a mounted company attached to the “Ceylon Light Infantry” of which regiment His late Majesty King Edward VII (then Prince of Wales) was Colonel in Chief. Shortly after formation, they became a separate unit of the Ceylon Defence Force known as the “CMI” or the Ceylon Mounted Infantry and it was not until 1906 that the designation of the Regiment was altered to The Ceylon Mounted Rifles.
On the first day of enrolment, 62 members joined and with the exception of the period during and just immediately after the Great War, the regiment has always been up to strength. The reason no doubt for the apathy just immediately after great war due to many members who returned having had too much soldiering; but, in 1925, a considerable number of recruits were enrolled and with Colonel, AE Andrews( their old Adjutant) as commandant and Captain Sir Bekerly Pigott, Bart., 17th / 21st Lancers, as Adjutant, the regiment again went forward and for time there was a waiting list.
Up till 1934, when the regiment was reorganised into one mounted and one mechanised squadron, a qualification was that any member joining had to possess his own or be able to borrow a suitable horse for drills and parades, and the regiment has always well-mounted.
In 1897, the regiment was represented at the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, on June the 20th , and on this occasion turned out in full dress uniform, which consisted of white helmet, scarlet tunic, white breeches and jack boots.
In the year 1900, a contingent under the command of Major Murray Menzies was sent to the Boer War and took part in the following engagements –
Cape Colony; Drifontein; Johannesberg; Diamond Hill; Wittebergen,
Earning the Queen’s and the King’s Medals with 7 clasps. The cost of equipping, arming and transporting this contingent was borne by the Government, but most members took their own horses with them.
For service rendered in the Boer War, a banner was presented to the regiment by his late Majesty King George V (the Duke of York) on the occasion of his visit to Kandy, April 12th/15, 1901, and at the same time medals were presented to those members of the “CMI” contingent who had returned from South Africa.8 Members of this contingent were either killed or died of wounds, and on the 18th February, 1901,HE., Sir West Ridgeway, GCMG,KCB,KCSI (then Governor of Ceylon) unveiled a Memorial Window in St. Paul’s Church, Kandy to those who fallen in Battle, which window was subscribed for by their comrades in the regiment.
In 1901, the regiment was represented at the Coronation of His late Majesty, King Edward VII, by a contingent under the command of Lieut.JN Campbell.
Up till 1903, all volunteer training had been carried out at Urugasmanhandiya, but in this year Diyatalawa was used for the first time as a Volunteer camp, and the following year the Head quarters of the Regiment was transferred to Kandy.
On the 17th of March 1907, the Inspector General of Forces, HRH Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, inspected the regiment at Kandy, and unveiled the equestrian stature ( of a trooper signaling : - “Enemy advancing in Large Numbers”) to the memory of those members of the Ceylon contingent who died in the Boer War. On this occasion, it is recorded that HRH made a noble speech.
In, 1909, General Sir John French. GCMC., Inspector General of Forces ( later Field Marshall, the Earl of Ypres)inspected the regiment at Kandy, and as a result of his visit the regiment was reorganized on a two squadron basis.
Captain GB de Mowbray and Sergeant Signaller, FJ Reiss who were in England at the time represented the regiment at the Coronation of His late Majesty King George V. and regiment attended in force the Coronation Parade held in Colombo.
On the 9th of December, 1911, the regiment was again inspected by the Inspector General of Forces, General Sir Ian Hamilton, GCB.,DSO.
On the outbreak of Great War in 1914,the regiment offered a squadron for service overseas, but this was refused on the ground of expense and a CPRC contingent was formed under the command of Major J.Hall Brown.2 Officers and 30 NCO’s and men of the CMR transferred and the contingent sailed for Egypt on the 27th of October, 1914.This contingent saw several months service in Egypt during which time the great number were given commissions in other regiments, and the remainder sailed for Gallipoli, where they acted as a body guard to General Birdwood (later Field Marshall, Sir William R Birdwood, GCMG.,KCB.,KCS., Commander in Chief of the Forces in India, ADC General to the King)and eventually all those men in turn accepted commissions in other regiments. Unfortunately, accurate figures of the number of CMR members who served in the Great War are not available, but the figure can be safely said to be over 200,of whom the names of 40 members appear on the Regiments Roll of Honour.
The regiment paraded in Colombo on November the 18th, 1918, and took part in the Victory Parade to celebrate the cessation of hostilities.
During camp 1928, HE, Sir Herbert Stanley, KCMG.,( Governor of Ceylon and Honorary Colonel of the regiment) inspected the regiment and at this camp the custom of holding an annual Regimental Dinner, at which all Officers, NCOs and men dined together was instituted.At this camp also,the CMR Polo Club was formed, and by the generosity of past and present members of the regiment, a sum was collected for the purchase of Polo Ponies, and the funds the regiment still have in hand will be handed over to the CPRC under whose aegis the polo club will continue.
The 12th of July, 1930,( the same day and month the regiment was raised)marks the retirement of Major ,WS Blackett. OBE.,VD., after 38 years of continuous service. Major Blackett was the only serving member left of the original 62 members enrolled on this day in 1892, and is still hale and hearty. His retirement, severing as it did the last remaining link of the past, was received with the greatest regret by all ranks. HE had held the appointment of Quarter Master for several years, and the honour done to him by granting him the Order of the British Empirewas well merited. On retirement, Major Blackett was promoted Lieutenant Colonel.
With due ceremony on Armistice Day 1931, the old Regimental Banner was laid up for safe keeping in St. Paul’s Church, Kandy, and the ceremony of laying up the present will take place at later date.
The year 1933 marks the date on which mechanisation was first mooted, and at the camp held at Diyatalawa in 1934, the regiment paraded as one mounted and one mechanised squadron. This year is memorable one both for the regiment and for the island, as Ceylon honoured by a visit of HRH Prince Henry, the Duke of Gloucester, for the purpose of restoring to the people of Ceylon the ancient regalia of the last King of Kandy, and this was the first occasion on which the regiment had the honour of providing both mounted and mechanised Escorts to a Royal Visitor. On the night the regalia was presented in Kandy, owing to the enthusiasm of the crowd, it was only with the greatest difficulty and with the aid of CMR Mounted Escort acting as Mounted Police that, His Royal Highness arrived at the Audience Hall.
The regiment had the honour of providing escorts to Royal Visitors at various times, as also to Governors on all State occasions, during the past 46 years, and their smart, soldierly, well turned out and well mounted appearances will be missed at all future State functions.
Since 1929, the regiment has been allied to the 17th/21st Lancers, and since 1931 the regiment has had the honour of having the Honorary Colonel of the 17th/21st Lancers as their Honorary Colonel, General the Hon’ble Sir Herbert Lawrence, GCB., DCL.,LLD.
In spite of the fact that “The Horse” is to be no more, it is interesting here to record that the spirit of the regiment is still there, as, with the exception of a very few of the older members who have already done their bit of volunteering in the past and want to make room for the younger generation, almost all other Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and men are transferring to the “Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps” with which the regiment has been amalgamated.
Disbanded 30th September. 1938
