Isn't this fascinating Joyce?It's interesting that according to Laurence Adamson, Col. James Flint defended the fort of Trajar in 1790. Until reading this, i'd thought James Flint died in 1786.

Well worth a visit.
I also found an interesting article on The Seige of Wandewash where you will find this -
Siege of Wandewash
British defeat Mysoris
This fort, defended by a small native garrison, under Lieutenant Flint, who had only one other European with him, was besieged, December, 1780, by the Mysoris, under Hyder Ali. Flint held out with the utmost gallantry till January 22, 1781, when the approach of Sir Eyre Coote forced Hyder Ali to raise the siege. The garrison had then only one day's ammunition left.
