About This Book
An ex-sergeant recounts first-hand memories of the 1857–59 uprising from the viewpoint of the Ninety-Third Sutherland Highlanders, describing marches, battles, the relief, siege, and capture of Lucknow, operations in Rohilcund and Oude, and personal anecdotes about fellow soldiers, officers, and episodic incidents such as assaults, retreats, and encounters with irregular forces. The narrative mixes soldierlike operational detail with reflections on courage, suffering, and comradeship, and is supplemented by appendices addressing particular incidents, weapons, and contemporary controversies. The account differentiates eyewitness observation from reported testimony and aims to preserve fading recollections of men and actions.
