We have just finished reading a fascinating historical account
of "The Cawnpore Massacres and the Indian Mutiny of 1857"
(sometimes referred to as "The First War of Independence" by
some of our Indian friends and relatives).
This contains several hundred biographical references, an index,
historical footnotes, and eye-witness accounts. It includes a
description and references to the battle of Lucknow, and the
many Regiments involved in the wider conflict,
including the 53rd and 56th Native Infantry.
The book is: " Our Bones are Scattered" by Andrew Ward, published
by Henry Holt and Company, New York 1996.
ISBN 0-8050-2437-9 Price UK £25.00.
