A twenty-eight-hundred-strong Maratha force led by Peshwa…
January 1818 CE
The Peshwa dispatches around two thousand soldiers to attack the force, which seeks entrenchment in Koregaon.
Led by Captain Francis Staunton, the Company troops defend their position for nearly twelve hours, before the Peshwa's troops ultimately withdraw, fearing the imminent arrival of a larger British force.
