A Norfolk Soldier in the First Sikh War -A Private Soldier Tells the Story of His Part in the Battles for the Conquest of India - Paperback

A PRIVATE SOLDIER TELLS THE STORY OF HIS PART IN THE BATTLES FOR THE CONQUEST OF INDIA - The First Sikh War is facinating to many readers interested in Victorian Warfare. More than any adversary the Sikh's Khalsa army, modelled on European lines was the most formidable the British Empire faced in India. The end of the Sikh Wars meant the sub-continent was at last 'coloured red', but first our writer, Swaffham man Private Baldwin had to endure the terrible battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah & Sobroan. This authentic voice from the ranks is complemented by the campaign history of Gough & Innes.
