Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Madras European Regiment in Burma. The British Empire's first Jungle war. This is a fascinating book. It is the first-hand account of an officer of the Madras European Regiment of the Honourable East India Company's Army - which is a rarity in itself. It concerns the First Burma War - a subject of much interest to students of Indian military history, about which virtually nothing is currently available. The war was a bloody and savage business of pitched battles, ambushes, sieges and the storming of timber stockades; it was a war of gunboats against war canoes - and always there was the impenetrable, nightmare jungle, a formidable opponent in its own right. Butler's text is supplemented by a history of the Indian Army at this time to provide background and context to this remarkable account.

Excerpt: ...with the assistance of the naval part of the force, was effected with speed) over the steep and rugged bank of the river; as well as to Lieutenant Macartney, of the 1st Battalion Madras Pioneers, for his arrangements regarding the scaling-ladders. 7. I must call the particular attention of the BrigadierGeneral to the zeal and ability shown by Captain Chads, Royal Navy, in his conducting the flotilla, and the valuable assistance I at all times received from him. 8. In conclusion, I beg to notice the assistance I derived from Captain Briscoe, His Majesty's 41st Regiment, and Captain Jones, His Majesty's 89th Regiment, together with that of Captain Russell, Bombay Artillery, and Lieutenant Trant, His Majesty's 38th Regiment, acting Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General; and the good and steady conduct of the whole of the officers and men, both naval and military, merits my warmest praise. The Burmese army of sixty thousand men, with Maha Bandula at their head, marching down from Donabyo, arrived in the vicinity of Rangoon during the night of the 30th November, and immediately began entrenching themselves in front of the British position. On the morning of the 1st December they began their operations by opening a heavy fire on the British lines, and directiug a furious attack on the outpost of Kemendine. This was promptly repulsed by the garrison (consisting of the 26 th Madras Native Infantry and a detachment of the Madras European Regiment) under the command of Major Yates, but it was only the prelude to a series of attacks which lasted for a week, in which the enemy sustained enormous losses without making the slightest impression.

Download or read book Burma Kipling and Western Music written by Andrew Selth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, scholars have been trying to answer the question: how was colonial Burma perceived in and by the Western world, and how did people in countries like the United Kingdom and United States form their views? This book explores how Western perceptions of Burma were influenced by the popular music of the day. From the First Anglo-Burmese War of 1824-6 until Burma regained its independence in 1948, more than 180 musical works with Burma-related themes were written in English-speaking countries, in addition to the many hymns composed in and about Burma by Christian missionaries. Servicemen posted to Burma added to the lexicon with marches and ditties, and after 1913 most movies about Burma had their own distinctive scores. Taking Rudyard Kipling’s 1890 ballad ‘Mandalay’ as a critical turning point, this book surveys all these works with emphasis on popular songs and show tunes, also looking at classical works, ballet scores, hymns, soldiers’ songs, sea shanties, and film soundtracks. It examines how they influenced Western perceptions of Burma, and in turn reflected those views back to Western audiences. The book sheds new light not only on the West’s historical relationship with Burma, and the colonial music scene, but also Burma’s place in the development of popular music and the rise of the global music industry. In doing so, it makes an original contribution to the fields of musicology and Asian Studies.
