Contradiction between this page and the Indian_Rebellion_of_1857 page: This page says he was promoted immediately to Havaldar, while the Indian Rebellion page says "Shaikh Paltu was, however, promoted to the rank of Jemadar in the Bengal Army." While this is not necessarily a contradiction, as he could have been promoted immediately to the NCO rank of Havaldar (native sergeant) and later to the lowest Commissioned Officer rank of Jemadar, this should (if it is in fact correct) be clarified in both articles.
