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.
The Dutch East India Company
(Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie--VOC)
 The Dutch East India Company had the authority to
make war and peace in the East Indies,
which privilege they guarded jealously. To avoid giving any justification
for the Dutch government to take back any privileges, they employed
mercenary troops so as to not be a drain on the government's budget. The
mercenaries were mostly composed of Swiss, German and Walloon troops.
