Description

Written during his service as Captain in the Bengal Artillery, this journal records in vivid detail the route of the Army of the Indus, the Grand Review of the British and Sikh forces, the storming of Ghuznee and Cabul, the harrowing report of Dr. Brydon during the retreat from Cabul, and the daily struggles and skirmishes during the siege of Jellalabad. It also offers observations on the subsequent Army of Retribution. For students and lovers of history, it provides a rare firsthand account of one officer’s experience. Captain Julius Brockman Backhouse was awarded the C.B. (Companion of the Order of the Bath), several campaign medals, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During this period he also devised an innovative means of transporting artillery by mule through rugged terrain—a system known as the Mountain Train.
