George W. Forrest (1845 1926) was born in India, the son of an army
captain who had won the Victoria Cross during the Indian Mutiny.
Forrest became an historian and journalist, who also created and
ran the Imperial Record Office in Calcutta. He produced many
editions of state papers and historical memoirs on governors of
India, providing primary material on British India to scholars of
imperial history. First published in 1901 on Forrest's retirement
to England due to ill health, Sepoy Generals is a study of British
generals who played a significant role in India during the
nineteenth century. The term 'sepoy general' was coined as an
insult to Wellington, the first subject, insinuating that his
important military successes in India were insignificant and would
not equip him to defeat Napoleon. Forrest's nine subjects spanned
the whole nineteenth century, ending with Lord Roberts of Kandahar,
who died in 1900.
