Havildar, hav′il-dar, n. the highest rank of non-commissioned officer among native troops in India and Ceylon.

A havildar of the 4th said, “Sahib, is not our march one of the greatest on record?”

The cries from the barrack-room had ceased; for the poor havildar was dead, and his body had been removed to the hospital.

For on their way from Hathipota they had met one of our search-parties under a havildar, called Ranjit Singh, who told them of the crime and said that he had been informed by villagers at Jainti that a man carrying a rifle had been seen coming out of the jungle early that morning and going east.

The havildar had sent him back to report to me and tell me that the rest of the party were continuing in pursuit.
