Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This historical military manual provides a detailed contemporary guide to the administration, discipline and everyday operation of a native regiment of the Bengal Army during British rule in India. Produced within the military framework associated with Viscount Combermere's tenure as Commander-in-Chief in India, it codifies the organisation and responsibilities essential to effective regimental management.Arranged across thirty principal subjects, the manual defines the duties of company commanders, European officers, adjutants, interpreters, quartermasters and surgeons. It also sets out the functions of sergeant-majors, quartermaster-sergeants, native commissioned and non-commissioned officers, pay havildars and regimental orderlies.Considerable attention is devoted to practical administration, including promotion, discharge, the redress of grievances, guard mounting and sentry duties. Further regulations address clothing, baggage, camp followers, escorts for treasure and the management of regimental hospitals.As a contemporary instructional work, the manual offers valuable insight into the complex hierarchy, discipline and administrative machinery of the Bengal Army, making it a useful primary source for the study of the East India Company's military establishment and the organisation of Indian regiments.Subjects covered:1.
