PREFACE.
The reminiscences contained in the following pages were originally published in the columns of the Pioneer; and it is with the kind permission of the Editor of that Journal that I am enabled to re-issue them in the form of this little book.
They do not pretend to any merit but that of truth. In that respect they may claim to present a record of actual events, and thus to bring before the Reader, however imperfectly, a rough sketch of the great Indian Mutiny such as it appeared to the eyes of a young Subaltern Officer of Native Cavalry, who had the good fortune to be engaged in its suppression.
