Book excerpt: Following the May 1857 uprising by sepoys in Meerut and Delhi, the whole future of the British Raj was in the balance. Nowhere was this better demonstrated than at Lucknow and Cawnpore. At the latter a garrison of 240 with 375 British women and children battled to survive a siege by 3,000 mutineers led by Nana Sahib. Unimaginable horrors of artillery and sniper fire coupled with the crippling heat of the Indian summer took their toll. An offer of safe passage was treacherously reneged on and the massacres which followed drew a terrible retribution when relief finally arrived, in the shape of Generals Havelock and Neil. At Lucknow, the 1800 British men, women and children supported by more than 1,000 loyal sepoys resisted assaults by 20,000 mutineers, despite heavy casualties and sickness. Sir Colin Campbell's force got through to relieve the garrison and evacuate civilians in November 1857 but the city was not restored to British control until March 1858.These dramatic events are brought to life in this first rate history.

This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Illustrated with over one hundred maps, photos and portraits, of the battles, individuals and places involved in the Indian Mutiny] Life for Katherine Mary Bartrum must have seemed to have been almost perfect in early 1857, wife of a well-liked and respected medical officer posted just outside Lucknow and with a new child in tow the many servants she had must have helped here enormously. However, her world was turned upside down by the Sepoy rebellion which was exploded in May 1857; living in perpetual fear that the revolt would reach them the slept with a sword and pistol under their pillows. Worse was to follow Mrs Bartrum was uprooted from her husband as the small military outpost that she lived on was deemed to be unsafe and she and her baby had to endure a horrible night march to the more well-defended Lucknow. Lucknow however proved to be a magnet for the murderous mutineers and they lay siege to the defended residency, the siege had begun in earnest. The conditions inside the ramparts steadily worsened, and Mrs Bartrum among many other was forced to endure appalling conditions as supplies ran out. The siege was lifted some months later and Mrs Bartrum looked forward to a reunion with her husband having managed to survive the awful privations of the cramped quarters she shared with 13 other women and their children. Then the heart-breaking news that her husband had been killed during the fighting arrived; leaving here alone in India with a small child with no resources to call upon. Somehow she managed to gain passage back to England, but the night before the journey home she was further shattered by the death of her child after months of stresses. Her heart-breaking memoir, partially diary entries and partially letters, is a dramatic and tragic tale of loss amid the ruins of the mutiny.
Download or read book Ladies of Lucknow written by G. Harris and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two enthralling Lucknow diaries in one special edition The siege and relief of the Residency at Lucknow is one of the principal conflicts of the Great Mutiny and became an abiding symbol of the spirit, resolution and fortitude of the men and women-military and civilian-that made the British Empire the globally dominating power it was in the Victorian age. It held a well deserved reputation for it was a scene of fierce fighting as the besieged sought to keep out attacking rebellious sepoy forces and their allies and the relieving force had to battle its way into the garrison on two occasions. These views of Lucknow are somewhat different. Leonaur has joined together two diaries, each by a female member of the besieged garrison, which chronicle-on a day by day basis-the experiences of those within the Residency's battered walls. This great value book enables the reader to compare two different perspectives on the same events. This is especially interesting because the two women came from different backgrounds and occupied different social spheres and so inevitably saw different aspects of the activities of the garrison, brought their focus onto different elements of it and evaluated their experiences in different ways. The first diary came from the pen of a civilian lady, the wife of a Churchman, and provides much valuable insight into the suffering of the families in Lucknow. The second diary is by a soldier's wife. Colonel Case of the 32nd was killed early in the siege, but military matters remained very much his widows concern among her other more domestic responsibilities. An excellent two-for-the-price-of-one view of a momentous event.

Download or read book The Great Indian Mutiny written by Bruce W. Watson and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-08-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1857-1858, rebels in northern India recruited tens of thousands of civilian volunteers in a mutiny that threatened to engulf the entire subcontinent. This study explores a fundamental question never explicitly investigated in histories of the mutiny: How could a vastly outnumbered British army, with dangerously extended lines of supply and reinforcement, defeat so large a force on its home ground? Watson addresses the problem by focusing on the Lucknow campaign, which was pivotal to the success of the British, and abandons the usual narrative approach to the subject in favor of an analysis of the leadership, armies, and other crucial elements in the campaign. After reviewing the religious, economic, and political unrest that set the stage for the mutiny, Watson provides a brief history of the campaign. In his comparative analysis of the armies and leadership of the combatants, a panorama of contrasts emerges. The British had the advantages of experienced and well-organized leadership, a better trained and organized army, superior weapons, and a cohesive sense of purpose. The rebel forces, on the other hand, consisted of decentralized armies whose effectiveness was compromised by the influx of untrained volunteers and whose leaders were mainly revolutionaries and military amateurs with few common goals. In his analytical comparisons of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and other factors affecting fighting ability, Watson applies John Keegan's categories of battle to develop equations that spell out the character of battle not only for the Lucknow campaign but for the entire conflict. Adding a new dimension to our understanding of the mutiny, this book is relevant to historical study of India, the British Empire, and the British army, and will also appeal to military history buffs.
