OverviewA horse gunner's Mutiny experiences Bourchier's is a well known and highly regarded eyewitness account of the Indian Mutiny as experienced and reported by an officer of that most famous of Indian Army corps d'elite-The Red Men-the galloping gunners of the Bengal Horse Artillery. The author describes the outbreak of the Mutiny and early actions leading toward the siege and fall of Delhi-including bloody street fighting-in all its appalling violence. Bourchier takes his reader with his battery on the pursuit to Cawnpore, the Relief of Lucknow and the destruction of the Gwalior Contingent. This is an account of warfare told with the passion one would expect from a participant who irrespective of his military duties was constantly concerned for the safety of his wife and children.
