The guns and gunners of the Honourable East India Company


Until the creation of 'The Raj', following the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the British held India with three native armies, supported by the troops of the British regular army, representing the presidencies of Madras, Bombay and the subject of this book, Bengal. Although all three presidencies could field troops with all the arms of the period, none of them possessed the élan of the Bengal Artillery. Indeed, the 'Red Men' of the Bengal Horse Artillery were a corps d'elite with few equals in military excellence or style. This book considers the history of both the Bengal Field and Horse Artillery from their inception in 1749, through the wars of the early nineteenth sentry as the British fought to claim India to the Anglo-Sikh Wars which concluded in 1849. Captain Buckle's book has long been considered the definitive work on its subject and covers formation, development, equipment and the campaigns of the Bengal Artillery in detail.
