✦ Synopsis

The first King's regiment to serve in India was the 39th Foot in 1754. Before it returned home in 1758 many of its officers and men chose to transfer to the Honourable East India Company's service, and from that time onwards British soldiers served continuously in India, in either the British or Indian Armies, for almost two hundred years. This entertaining volume from R G Harris focuses on the Bengal Cavalry Regiments 1857-1914, looking at the uniforms of all the regiments, from the Governor-General's Body Guard to the 19th Lancers.
