Engagements of the HEICS (Honourable East India Company)

[GuyNic]

Hello. I am new to the forum and wanted to ask if anyone has knowledge of the following, as well as offering up some idea of the likelihood of tracking down related decorations/militaria:

1. 'The Neilgherries' (a nick name I assume) of the 29th Mechanised Native Infantry - during station at Ootacamund, India in around 1855

2. 1st Madras European Fusiliers - during engagement at Pegu, Burma in January 1853, during the 2nd Anglo-Burmese War

Is it possible that the name is really the Nilgiris, which is a more current spelling?
