Hardcover. Condition: AS NEW COPY! MILITARY GENERAL -Facsimile reprint of 1893 edition. pp. 307 #190625"Reminiscences of the Great Mutiny 1857-59" by William Forbes-Mitchell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the author's personal experiences and observations during the Indian Rebellion, known as the Great Mutiny, focusing particularly on events surrounding the Ninety-Third Sutherland Highlanders' involvement. Forbes-Mitchell provides a first-hand perspective, detailing engagements such as the relief, siege, and capture of Lucknow, while capturing the valour and struggles faced by soldiers and civilians throughout the tumultuous conflict. At the start of the narrative, Forbes-Mitchell reflects on his motivations for writing, highlighting the urgency to document the experiences of those who participated in the Mutiny as they rapidly fade from history. He recounts the Ninety-Third Highlanders' journey to India after being reassigned from a mission to China, only to face the chaos of the rebellion upon arrival. Through vivid anecdotes and observations, he sets the stage for the tales of bravery and the horrors of war that would unfold, providing insight into both personal and collective experiences as the regiment prepared to march into the heart of enemy territory in order to relieve the besieged garrison at Lucknow.
