Written by General Sir George St Patrick Lawrence (1804 84) of the
British Indian Army, this 1874 book is a memoir of his long and
active service in India. The son of a distinguished officer in the
army of the East India Company, he arrived in India in 1821, and
was a participant in all the major military encounters of the
period, including the Anglo-Afghan Wars, where he was involved in
the 'Cabul disaster' and later narrowly avoided execution as a
hostage, the Anglo-Sikh wars, and the Indian Mutiny, during which
he and his family survived great danger. Lawrence, whose health had
been undermined during the Mutiny, resigned from the army and
returned to England in 1864. He entrusted his letters and diaries
to William Edwards of the Bengal Civil Service, who compiled the
work from these sources, and supplies a brief overview of
Lawrence's career in his preface.
