In 1858, Ensign Hugh Pearson embarked at Chatham for service with
the 84th (York and Lancaster) Regiment in India, little suspecting
that within a few short months he would be taking part in the
dramatic events of the Indian Rebellion. His letters to his family,
published here for the first time, tell of the dramatic events that
unfolded from the first rumblings of unrest at Barrackpore, to the
shocking news of the massacre at Cawnpore, and the struggle to
relieve Lucknow. Pearson offers a remarkable insight into the
career of a young regimental officer in Queen Victoria's army, as
well as an enticing glimpse of family life. Peace gives him the
chance to engage in his favourite pastime - shooting - whilst war
offers the opportunity for promotion and loot. But as the campaign
continues and his comrades begin to fall, Pearson begins to long
for home.
