Charles Nedham was just twenty when he arrived in India in July
1845 as an ensign in HM 10th Foot. For the next four and a half
years he lived as a young officer on duty in the sub-continent,
finally seeing action in the Second Sikh War at the siege of Multan
and the battle of Gujerat. His journal which he illustrated with
fine pencil drawings of various sites and buildings offers glimpses
of life in peace and war in India, as well as the contempt and
prejudices shown by the British towards the native population. He
was equally cynical and critical towards a number of the British
commanders for their poor handling of the campaign. The journal
provides a window into attitudes towards the empire, as well as the
life of a bachelor officer in the early 19th century.
