1st Bengal European Light Cavalry

2007-05-16T15:33:52Z

MOR-0448:

This was one of the new Regiments created in 1858 in the aftermath of the Mutiny with European (ie British) troopers, rather than Indian ones. The officers were drawn from those surviving from the old 1st Bengal Light Cavalry (which had mutinied at Mhow) and the 3rd (which had been the first cavalry regiment to mutiny at Meerut in May 1857) The Regiment was reconstituted as the 19th Hussars in the Queen's (ie British) Army in 1861.

A first-hand account of the creation and merger of the Regiment is to be found in The Diary of an Indian Cavalry Officer, Pagoda Tree Press, Bath, 2003. The diarist was John Hatfield Brooks, who was an officer in the regiment. The book also contains at plate 14 a photograph of Captain Brooks in the Regiment's uniform. I suspect this may well be the only picture we have of the Regiment's uniform.

Regiments from the East India Company's Army and the British Army.

The Bengal Artillery is a part of the Bengal Army. Madras and Bombay also had artillery regiments.

Should we not also add Regiments of the British Army which served in India?

The Diary of an Indian Cavalry Officer, Pagioda Tree Press, Bath, 2003 is the diary of John Hatfield Brooks who was an officer in this Regiment form 1843 till it was disbanded in 1858. Unfortunately most of the earliest years are missing, so we lack the first hand account of the Maharjpoor Campaign and the Sikh Wars. But the diary is complete from 1849. The diarist gives a vivid view of cantonment life in pre-Mutiny India, and also sheds light on the annexation of Oude. When the Mutiny broke out in 1857, the Regiment was at Mhow in SW Bengal and Brooks describes in some detail the events there.

The diary continues till 1863, by which time the officers of the Regiment had transferred to the new 1st Bengal European Light Cavalry, which in turn became the 19th Hussars in the Queen's (ie British) Army.

The Law of Copyright is too complicated to describe in detail here. In general, if you copy material written or designed by some one else, you are probably infringing copyright. As such you lay yourself open to civil and possibly criminal action. As the copyright period is now 70 years after the death of the person who originated and first published it, even material originating over 100 years ago may still be in copyright.

Furthermore there may be more than one copyright owner of some material. For example a photograph of a picture will give rise to two separate copyright ownerships - the original artist and the photographer. So although the opicture may be 200 years old and more than 70 years has elapsed since the artist's death, the photograph may still be in copyright and cannot be used without permission of the copyright owner.

Original material you post on the FIBIwiki site remains your own copyright, but by posting it here you allow ('license' is the technical term) others who use the site to see and use it, and of course to amend or delete it.
