Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Assumed First Edition. 32 Pages. Developments in breech loading guns made the 9-Pdr. RML obsolete by 1890, however the exorbitant cost of the North West Rebellion led to a lack of Defense spending for the next few years and it was not until 1895 that steps were taken to re-equip the field batteries with 12 pounder breech loaders. This step did not mean the immediate end of the 9-Pdr. and as late as 1905 the gun was used in Dominion Artillery Association competitions to expend existing stocks of ammunition. The then new 12-Pdr., although replaced almost completely by 1912 was itself used as late as 1938 for the same reason. During its service the 9-Pdr. proved a simple, robust gun, admirably suited to the rough handling of a half trained but enthusiastic force in a rugged, little-developed country. Much of the success achieved by Canadian "Gunners" in South Africa and in World War I can be attributed to training received and the esprit developed during the period of the 9-Pdr Rifled Muzzle Loader.…

Published Price £11.50 An account of the second defence of Cawnpore during the Indian Mutiny under Major-General Charles Windham in November 1857.

Condizione: New. 2006 N&M Press reprint (original pub1827). SB. xv+ 86pp +2 maps .Published Price £14.50 This book is a brief account of one of Napoleon's most brilliant victories written in 1827 by an un-named British officer who was attached to the defeated Prussians as an observer. Although lamenting the defeat of Britain's ally - after which Prussia was compelled to make peace at the French Emperor's dictation - the officer, an artilleryman, cannot withhold his admiration for Napoleon's military genius.

Condizione: New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1859). SB.xiii + 360 pp Published Price £11.50 Deservedly one of the best-known personal accounts of the Indian Mutiny, this vivid memoir by Lt. Vivian Majendie of the Royal Artillery - who was later knighted and became Her Majesty's Inspector of Explosives - deserves a place on the shelves of all India and Raj fans. Majendie was based in Britain when news of the outbreak of the mutiny at Meerut broke. He sailed for Calcutta and then, via Allahabad, travelled to Cawnpore - scene of a notorious massacre of British civilians by the mutineers which fires his righteous indignation. The core of the book concerns the author's part in the famous siege at Lucknow. Majendie, serving under General Sir James Outram, was involved in some of the bitterest fighting as the siege was lifted, resumed and raised again. He depicts without flinching the cruelty of both sides - including the roasting alive of a mutineer seized by Sikhs serving under British officers, which he deplores. Very much an unvarnished view of a savage conflict based on notes he made at the time, this is an account of war in the raw. Published in 1859 soon after the events it describes, this is one of the key texts in the study of the Indian Mutiny. Book.…
