Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This unit originated in 1756 as the Madras Galloper Guns and took part in all the wars from 1780 during which the British Raj established its ascendency over India; the Mysore, Mahratta, Poligar and Java Wars and the Indian Mutiny. The unit's next major campaign, and its first outside India was the 2nd Boer war of 1900-1902. This history, based on the unit's regimental orders, is an excellent work of reference with much detailed information of a wider nature. It includes as a frontispiece a photo of a statuette of an officer of the Madras Horse Artillery in 1817, a map of South Africa in the Boer War and appendices listing its principal engagements, officers, COs. etc.
