The sailors and guns of the Royal Navy in India
The activities of the Royal Navy's brigades-when its sailors left
their ships with their precious guns to fight on land in concert
with the army-are justifiably compelling to students of military
history. Unusual aspects of warfare are always evocative and the
naval brigades have performed exceptionally (as their several V. C.
awards demonstrate) in many campaigns, often in difficult and
exotic locations and on hard fought battlefields-particularly
during the small colonial wars of the Victorian era. Perhaps the
most interesting of all these campaigns was when the crews of H. M.
S 'Shannon' and H. M. S 'Pearl' were called upon to fight during
the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The crews fought in different theatres
of the campaign; that of the 'Pearl' operated close to the Nepalese
border, while the men of the 'Shannon, ' under the inspirational
leadership of Sir William Peel, were present at the relief of
Lucknow. This unique Leonaur edition brings together two essential
and compelling first hand accounts and includes maps and
illustrations, some of which are not to be found in the original
(or any other) editions. Highly recommended in every way.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
