The Bengal Artillery's early formation and reorganization reveal enduring resilience and strategic evolution.

The first company of the Bengal Artillery was raised in 1749, and consisted of one Captain, one Second Captain, one Captain Lieutenant, three Lieutenant Fireworkers, four Sergeants, four Corporals, three Drummers and one hundred Gunners.

This book is a history of the Bengal Artillery and gives a detailed account of its internal organisation. The first company was destroyed in the Black Hole of 20 June 1756, where 45 of their men perished. The company was re-organized, and a second and the third company were raised. Captain Buckle's memoir has been considered a definitive work on the subject and covers the formation, development, equipment and the campaigns of the Bengal Artillery in detail.
