The reminiscences contained in the followingpages were originally publishedin the columns of the Pioneer; and itis with the kind permission of the Editorof that Journal that I am enabled tore-issue them in the form of this little book.
They do not pretend to any merit but thatof truth. In that respect they may claimto present a record of actual events, andthus to bring before the Reader, howeverimperfectly, a rough sketch of the greatIndian Mutiny such as it appeared to theeyes of a young Subaltern Officer of NativeCavalry, who had the good fortune tobe engaged in its suppression.
