This book was released on 1854 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Nott (1782-1845) was an army officer in the East India Company who commanded British and Anglo-Indian forces in the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-42). He was born into a farm family of modest means in Glamorganshire, Wales, and received a limited elementary education. He embarked for India in 1800, and received a commission in the army of the East India Company. For many years he commanded a succession of native infantry regiments. Throughout his military career he appreciated the military qualities of the sepoy (Indian soldiers serving in the army of the East India Company), which he compared favorably with those of the British soldier. A colonel before the Anglo-Afghan War began, Nott soon was promoted to general. He commanded British and native troops in several successful engagements and on January 13, 1842, was appointed commander of all British and Anglo-Indian troops in Lower Afghanistan and Sind. He won a major victory over Afghan forces near Ghazni on August 30, 1842, which led to the capture of Kabul and ultimately termination of the war. After service as resident at the court of Lucknow, Nott returned to England, where within two years he died. This book was compiled posthumously by J.H. Stocqueler, the author of several books of biography and British military history, using documents in the possession of Nott's daughters. Volume two of the work has a long appendix containing documents relevant to Nott's activities in Afghanistan, some by Nott himself but most by other officers. Nott is regarded by historians as by far the best British general in the Anglo-Afghan War.

Book excerpt: Papers Relating to Military Operations in Afghanistan is a compilation of official documents relating to the conduct of British forces during a part of the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-42). It contains the texts of 547 letters, dispatches, reports, memoranda, general orders, and other documents from the period between October 1841 and December 1842. The authors of the documents include Lord Auckland, governor-general of India, Major General George Pollock, commander of the relief column sent to try to rescue the Anglo-British force that was decimated by Afghan tribesmen in the retreat from Kabul in January 1842, Major General William Nott, who defeated an Afghan force at Ghazni in August 1842, and many lower ranking military officers and civilian officials. Among the more arresting documents in the compilation is number 132, a dispatch dated February 19, 1842, in which the governor-general reports to the Secret Committee of the East India Company in London on the disaster of the previous month. The report begins by stating that "we have to deplore the occurrence of heavy calamity to the British arms, and at the same time lament the great obscurity which still hangs over many of the most important circumstances connected with the causes and course of the disasters which have been suffered." Other documents provide further details about the scale of the defeat, the measures undertaken by Auckland and his subordinates to recoup the situation by sending reinforcements, and their decision ultimately to withdraw all British forces from Afghanistan.
Download or read book The Military Operations at Cabul Which Ended in the Retreat and Destruction of the British Army January 1842 With a Journal of Imprisonment in Afghanistan written by Vincent Eyre and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Military Operations at Cabul, Which Ended in the Retreat and Destruction of the British Army, January 1842 With a Journal of Imprisonment in Afghanistan The original manuscript of this Journal was sent by Lieutenant Eyre in parts, as it was finished, and as opportunity offered, to a military friend in India. Even when the last part reached his hands, the eventual liberation of the Cabul prisoners was a matter of painful uncertainty; and his judgment prompted him to transmit it entire, and without comment, to the Authors immediate relations in this country. There is a point connected with its publication now, which must not be thought to have been disregarded from any anxiety that this account should be the first: it is, the question whether it should have been withheld until the result of the inquiry now pending in India should be known. It is considered that sufficient delay has been already incurred to insure this end, and that all such investigations will have been closed before a copy of this book can find its way to India. The Journal is therefore at once printed as it came, in concurrence with the writers own idea that it cannot fail to interest the British public. Note by the Editor. - I have received information from very high authority, which makes it incumbent on me, in candour, to append this note to a second edition; and I am sorry it was not in time to appear also in the first. I flatter myself that the general tone of this work will prove sufficiently that any supposed misstatement therein will have been made most unintentionally, and on authority which must have appeared to the Author very sufficient. In his absence I cannot do less than append the following observations, which are furnished me to qualify the passages of the text alluded to: P. 5. With reference to the alleged neglect to send a force against the Nijrow chiefs, I am assured that the Envoy pressed this measure upon the General, but he refused the troops. P. 8. I am assured that Lord Auckland never knew, until after the insurrection, that the pay of the Giljyes had been stopped, and that the measure originated with the Envoy. P. 10. Lastly, I am authorized to say that it is not correctly stated that Lord Auckland did not receive General Elphinstone's resignation as soon as the General wished: that the General joined the force in April; and in September, Lord Auckland received his medical certificate, and wrote to him by the first mail to beg of him to give up the command to the next in order, until a successor could be found. While readily giving insertion to any counter-statements so conveyed to me as to guarantee their accuracy, I must be allowed, on my brothers part, to express an opinion that, being on terms of intimate friendship with General Elphinstone, he must have had no less authority than the Generals information for making at least that statement last referred to: but I am sure he would regret to be the means of propagating any thing not strictly true, from whatever source derived. The following notes were penned to relieve the monotony of an Affghan prison, while yet the events which they record continued fresh in my memory. I now give them publicity in the belief that the information which they contain on the dreadful scenes lately enacted in Aftghanistan, though clothed in a homely garb, will scarcely fail to be acceptable to many of my countrymen, both in India and England, who may be ignorant of the chief particulars. The time, from the 2d November, 1841, on which day the sudden popular outbreak at Cabul took place, to the 13th January, 1842, which witnessed the annihilation of the last small remnant of our unhappy force at Gundamuk, was one continued tragedy.
