 | Surname | Read | | | Forename | Alexander | | | Rank | Captain | | | Occupation or Status | Quartermaster | | | Location | Seringapatam  | | | Summary Remarks | Mentioned in a report on the Grand Army laying siege to Tippoo Sultan at the fort of Seringapatam. A body of Brengaries to the number of 12,000 arrived in camp with a large supply of provisions. They were sent in by Captain Alexander Read, who has successfully been employed in the arduous duty of furnishing supplies for the army. He was severely wounded at the siege of Nandy Droug, but he did not suffer the wound to deprive the army of his service and we are happy to hear that he has been long since perfectly recovered. | | | Article Type | News Article | | | Issue Number | Vol. VIII, No. 333 | | | Issue Day | 23 | | | Issue Month | February | | | Issue Year | 1792 |
