A horse gunner's Mutiny experiences
Bourchier's is a well known and highly regarded eyewitness account
of the Indian Mutiny as experienced and reported by an officer of
that most famous of Indian Army corps d'elite-The Red Men-the
galloping gunners of the Bengal Horse Artillery. The author
describes the outbreak of the Mutiny and early actions leading
toward the siege and fall of Delhi-including bloody street
fighting-in all its appalling violence. Bourchier takes his reader
with his battery on the pursuit to Cawnpore, the Relief of Lucknow
and the destruction of the Gwalior Contingent. This is an account
of warfare told with the passion one would expect from a
participant who irrespective of his military duties was constantly
concerned for the safety of his wife and children. Essential
reading for all those interested in the period. Available in soft
cover and hard cover with dust jacket.
