About the Book:
This book provides a detailed examination of regimental soldiering in India between 1822 and 1846, with a special focus on the Sixteenth Lancers, one of the most celebrated cavalry regiments of the British Army. Drawing on an unprecedented range of mainly unpublished sources—including official archives, personal journals, and letters of both officers and men—the study offers rare insights into the discipline, daily life, and military culture of British soldiers stationed in colonial India.
The work sheds light on the intersection of regimental traditions, military professionalism, and the challenges of campaigning in the Indian subcontinent. It not only highlights the tactical and organizational systems that defined the Lancers but also uncovers the personal experiences and perspectives of those who served. For readers interested in British military history, colonial India, cavalry warfare, and the evolution of soldiering traditions, this volume is a valuable contribution to historical scholarship.
