Bengal Cavalry Regiments 18571914 by Ronald Harris
The British connection with India dates from the formation of the East India Company in the 17th century, when a military force was put together to protect Britain's trading interests. By 1914, there were over 40 regiments of Indian cavalry, all of which were commanded by British officers. This book provides an overview of the component cavalry regiments in the years between the Great Mutiny of 1857 and the outbreak of World War I. Numerous contemporary photographs and eight colour plates offer a rare glimpse into the distinctive uniforms of the cavalry.Ronald Harris was a respected historian who specialized in the Indian subcontinent. This book was his only Osprey publication. He died in 2000.
Chris Warner is a well-known military artist who has illustrated several books for the Men-at-Arms series on various topics, from 17th century armies to the Boxer Rebellion.
