'''This was an event during the [[1st Afghan War]]'''
== Timeline ==

'''1841''' 
On 21 December Captains Conolly and Airey were given as hostages for compliance with the treaty agreed with [[Mohammad Akbar|Mohammad Akbar Khan]] for the withdrawal of British forces from Afghanistan.

On 29 December it was agreed that Captains Drummond, Walsh, Warburton and Webb would be hostages as the Afghan demand for four married hostages and their families was not acceptable to the British. 

'''1842''' 
On 8 January 1842 Mohammed Akbar Khan agreed to protect [[William Elphinstone|Elphinstone's]] army on a promise of 15,000 rupees. He also demanded [[Eldred Pottinger|Major Pottinger]], Captain Lawrence and Captain Mackenzie as hostages to guarantee that [[Robert Sale|General Robert Sale]] would evacuate Jalalabad. This was agreed.

On 9 January 1842 Mohammed Akbar Khan persuaded General Elphinstone to hand over the women, children and wounded officers hostages in return for supplies and a safe escort for his army. Though none of Akbar Khan's promises had been kept previously, it was seen as the only way to protect the women and children from further suffering on the march. Four officers, ten women and twenty-two children were escorted to Khoord-Kabul fort where they joined the three officers taken the day before. See separate article [[Hostages taken at Khoord-Kabul]].

On 10 January Lieut. Melville was severely wounded trying to defend his regimental colours. An Afghan rescued him and he was taken prisoner by Akbar Khan. Mr Magrath, surgeon of the 37th Native Infantry was also wounded and taken prisoner. Six men of 44th Foot were also taken prisoner. Captain Anderson was ordered by the General to join the married men and families.

On 11 January General Elphinstone, Brigadier Shelton and Captain Johnson were called to a conference by Akbar Khan and detained as hostages.

On 12 January after the massacre on the retreat from Jugdulluk Captain Bygrave took to the mountains and was eventually captured. He joined the others at Badiabad on 23 February

On 13 January Major Griffiths and Mr Blewitt were detained when they tried to negotiate a truce. Lieutenant Thomas Souter and several privates were captured after the last stand of the 44th Regiment.

On 14 January Sergeant-Major Lisson, 37th Native Infantry and five other Europeans were captured between Gundamak and Jalalabad. They joined the other hostages at Badiabad Fort on 12 February.

All those made over to Akbar Khan on the march were taken by stages to Badiabad Fort in the Lughman District which they reached on 17 January. They were joined at intervals by others who had been captured. During this time there was correspondence between Lady Sale and her husband who was besieged at Jalalabad.

At the approach of the Army of Retribution through the Khyber Pass the hostages were moved east on 11 April. They reached Tezeen on 19 April where General Elphinstone died four days later. They were then moved to a fort about 12 miles away where they stayed for a month. Moved again on 23 May they passed through the Khoord-Kabul pass and came to the fort of Ali Mohammed Khan at Sewrekkee six miles from Kabul where they remained for two months while various Afghan factions vied for control and there were negotiations with the advancing British. On 23 August the nine hostages from Kabul joined them.

[[George Pollock|General Pollock]] started to advance from Jalalabad on 20 August and this caused the hostages (except those too sick to travel) to be moved on 25 August further east to Bamian which was reached on 3 September. They were able to bribe/persuade their captors to assist their escape and on 16 September they made their way west and south to the Kalu Pass where they were met by Sir Richmond Shakespear and 600 cavalry. They were finally safe when Sale's brigade reached Kowt e Ashrow and escorted them to Kabul. They had been hostages nearly nine months.

== Jugdulluk to Gundamak ==
This was the seventh day of the [[Retreat from Kabul to Gandamak]]. [[William Elphinstone|General Elphinstone]], Brigadier Shelton and Captain Johnson were detained by Akbar Khan despite demands to be escorted back to their troops at Jugdulluk. Capt. Skinner on his way to obtain news was shot in the face and died shortly afterwards. All day the force were subjected to attacks and, with no word from their general, Brig. Anquetil determined to make a night march to Jalalabad. They descended into the Jugdulluk valley and climbed again in a narrow defile until coming near the summit to thorn barriers blocking the way. While delayed struggling to get through this they were attacked from all sides and a massacre worse than Tunghi Tarika took place. Brigadier Anquetil was among 12 officers killed. They pressed on until they reached the Surkab River where several privates and Lieut. Cadet were killed as they crossed.

== Hostages taken ==
This was the fourth day of the [[Retreat from Kabul to Gandamak]]. Akbar Khan insisted that the retreating army halt at Khoord-Kabul so that he could arrange supplies and escort for the onward journey. Capt Skinner who had been acting as go-between brought a proposition from Akbar Khan that the married families and widows be put under his protection. This was seen as the only way to save them more suffering and they were handed over with a number of wounded officers. After their departure it was realised that large numbers of the Shah's Irregular Cavalry and the Mission Escort were deserting. A parade of troops established that the 44th Regiment could only muster about 100 men and the native regiments about 60 each. The cavalry consisted of 100 troopers of the Irregular Horse and 70 of the 5th Light Cavalry. The promise of food and fuel was not fulfilled and another night was passed in cold and starvation.

'''For context see main article [[Retreat from Kabul to Gundamak]]'''
== Kabul to Bagrame ==
After terms had been agreed for safe passage of Elphinstone's army to Peshawar (see [[Kabul Uprising]]), the Afghan chiefs made various excuses for delaying the departure. Eventually on 6 January 1842 4,500 fighting men and 12,000 followers began to leave the Sherpur Cantonment where they had been besieged for two months. In bitter weather with a foot of snow on the ground, the retreating army moved out into the countryside with only five days supplies and no sign of the promised Afghan escort. As they left, the Afghans started to plunder and destroy the cantonment. At evening the main column was still passing out of the gate and the rearguard was having to defend itself against sniper fire which killed Lt Hardyman of 5th Light Cavalry and fifty other ranks. Eventually all were across the river but two Horse Artillery guns and a quantity of baggage had been abandoned. It was 2 am before the rearguard reached the night halt at Bagrame 5 miles down the road.

== Synopsis ==
Captain Craigie took occupation of Khelat-i-Ghilzie in November 1841. At the end of the month he was reinforced by sepoys of the [[43rd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry]] provided by Colonel Maclaren on his return to [[Kandahar]]. In bitter winter weather the garrison worked to improve the defences and at the beginning of March they were besieged by Afghan tribesmen. The attackers dug trenches encircling the place and were able to fire from protected positions. On 21 May a major assault with scaling ladders was mounted but beaten off in a fierce battle which effectively ended the siege. When Colonel Wymer arrived with a relieving force there was nothing to do but dismantle the fortifications and return to Kandahar.

The 3rd Regiment of Shah Shulja's Infantry was renamed [[The Regiment of Khelat-i-Ghilzie]] in recognition of its bravery. The garrison was awarded the [http://www.britishmedals.info/defence_of_kelat_i_ghilzie_medal.html Defence of Khelat-i-Ghilzie Medal].

'''This was an event during the [[1st Afghan War]]''' 
'''For context see main article [[The Army of Retribution March to Kabul]]'''
== Synopsis ==
'''General George Pollock''' finally completed preparations and marched from [[Jamrud]] on 5 April. Negotiations to bribe the tribes to allow passage through the [[Khyber Pass]] had failed and there was no alternative but armed assault. The general detailed the left and right wings of his force to crown the heights on either side of the pass. This they did successfully preventing the Afridi tribesmen from attacking the main body of the army. Once the heights were won the main force was able to demolish the great barrier of mud, stones and tree branches which blocked the pass. The force moved forward to [[Ali Masjid]], which the enemy had evacuated, and camped the night. Little opposition was encountered from that point until [[Jalalabad]] was reached on 14 April.

'''This was an event during the [[1st Afghan War]]''' 
'''For context see main article [[General Sale's March from Kabul to Jalalabad]]'''
== Synopsis ==
Having left [[Kabul]] on 9 October 1841 Sale's brigade fought its way east until it reached [[Jalalabad]] on 12 November. The town walls were in a bad state of repair and there was debate as to whether such a long perimeter could be defended or whether it would be better to retreat into the citadel. In the event it was decided to repair the walls and this began directed by [http://www.archive.org/stream/dictionaryofindi00buckuoft#page/53/mode/1up Captain George Broadfoot] of the Sappers under constant attack from the surrounding Afghans.

On 16 November [http://www.archive.org/stream/dictionaryofindi00buckuoft#page/122/mode/1up Col Monteath] of 35th Bengal Infantry led a sortie of 1,100 men which drove the enemy away from the walls. [http://www.archive.org/stream/dictionaryofindi00buckuoft#page/260/mode/2up/search/MacGregor George MacGregor] as Commissariat Officer sent out foraging parties and built up a month's supplies.

By the end of the month Afghan attacks were getting bolder and a second sortie was made on 1st December under [http://www.archive.org/stream/dictionaryofindi00buckuoft#page/117/mode/1up William Dennie] which was equally successful.

On 8 January 1842 a letter was received from Kabul confirming that the British had agreed to capitulate and leave the city under safe escort of the Afghans and ordering Sale to evacuate Jalalabad. Sale and MacGregor sent a reply declining to do so as they were aware that the local tribes were being ordered to attack the retreat. This decision was proved right when on 13 January Dr Brydon arrived wounded and alone to relate the massacre of [[William Elphinstone|Elphinstone's]] army following its departure from Kabul on 9 January.

Considerable progress had been made over three months in building up the defences of the city. The ramparts were widened and the parapets raised. In addition cover outside the walls was removed by demolishing buildings and filling ditches. However a severe earthquake on 19 February threw down two bastions and caused a major breach in the walls. Hurried efforts were made to repair the damage before the Afghans realised their opportunity for attack.

At the beginning of March Akbar Khan moved troops closer to the city and began to construct stone [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangar_(fortification) ''sangars'']. A sortie on 11 March led by Col Dennie dispersed them temporarily. Sale was writing regularly to [[George Pollock|General Pollock]] in Peshawar warning that if a force from Kabul attacked with artillery, he would not be able to hold out. Pollock however was hampered by disaffection amongst his sepoys and want of supplies. It was not until 5 April that the Army of Retribution left Jamrud.

On 1 April a sortie was able to bring in a flock of 500 sheep and on 7 April Sale mounted a major assault on Akbar Khan's forces and defeated them convincingly though Colonel Dennie was killed. Akbar retreated towards Kabul and the district chiefs tendered their submission. Sale had effectively raised the siege. Pollock's army reached Jalalabad on 16th April.

The [http://www.britishmedals.info/jellalabad_medal.html Jellalabad Medal] was awarded to the defenders.

== Bagrame to Boothak ==
This was the second day of the [[Retreat from Kabul to Gandamak]]. Most of the Shah's 6th Infantry deserted and parties of Afghan horse started to harass the rear of the column under Brigadier Anquetil. Much baggage and the two mountain guns were lost. Later two Horse Artillery guns had to be abandoned because the horses could no longer pull them through the snow. Only five miles were made from Bagrame to Bootkhak where Gen Elphinstone was forced to call a halt. Akbar Khan declared that he would provide supplies and protection in exchange for six hostages. This was agreed and hosilities ceased overnight. There was no food or shelter and they were at the entrance to the Khoord Kabul Pass.

== Synopsis ==
'''Sirdar Mahommed Akbar Khan''' came to [[Jalalabad]] with a large body of troops hoping to take the city following the earthquake of 19 February. He found the damage had been quickly repaired however so he established a rigorous blockade. Rumour came on 5 April that the relieving army under '''[[George Pollock|General Pollock]]''' had been repulsed at the Khyber Pass (later found not to be true). '''General Sale''' decided on an attack on the Afghan camp in the hope of raising the siege.

Almost all the garrison's fighting men were detailed in three columns for the assault. A skeleton guard was left on the walls under Captain Robert Pattisson. On 7 April at dawn the force issued from the the Kabul and Peshawar gates. The right column under '''[[Henry Havelock|Captain Havelock]]'''<ref>Later to become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Havelock Maj- Gen Sir Henry Havelock KCB] who led the relief of Lucknow</ref> drove the enemy back while '''Colonel Dennie''' attacked a fort on the right and was killed at the head of his regiment.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=1m8BAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA96&dq=History+of+the+war+in+Afghanistan+Mr+Gleig+gives+the+following+account+of++Dennie's+end&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false Account of Glennie's death]</ref> The battle lasted twelve hours at the end of which the enemy was in full retreat. The Afghan standards were captured together with a great quantity of stores.

Akbar Khan was defeated and the garrison had raised the siege before the arrival of Pollock's relieving force on 14 April.

'''This was an event during the [[1st Afghan War]]''' 
'''For context see main article [[General Nott at Kandahar]]'''
== Synopsis ==
'''Colonel Thomas Palmer''' with the [[27th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|27th Bengal Native Infantry]] commanded the garrison of [[Ghazni]] in the winter of 1841. At the beginning of November there was a general uprising in [[Kabul]] and '''[[William Elphinstone|General Elphinstone]]''' ordered '''[[William Nott|General Nott]]''' to send reinforcements from [[Kandahar]]. Colonel Maclaren who had just set out for to India with three regiments was recalled and despatched north on 8th November with the [[16th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|16th]], [[42nd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|42nd]] and [[43rd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|43rd Bengal Native Infantry]] with cavalry and artillery.

Meanwhile on 20 November Ghazni was besieged by an Afghan force under Shams-ud-Din, nephew of '''Mohammed Akbar Khan'''. This withdrew when news came of the approach of Maclaren's force. However, when a large number of his supply cattle died of exposure and the adverse weather compelled Maclaren to turn back, the besiegers returned on 7 December. Palmer was reluctant to clear the town of inhabitants as they would have died in the snow. Contrary to his belief however they were not sympathetic to the garrison and, on 16 December, let the besiegers into the town though a tunnel. The garrison were compelled to retreat to the citadel.

More snow fell and the temperature dropped to 14℉ below zero. Cold, wet and with dwindling supplies the garrison held out over the new year. On 15 January a truce was called pending the arrival of Shumshoodeen. Water had been cut off and supplies had run out so Palmer was forced to capitulate on a promise of safe escort to Peshawar. The garrison left the citadel on 6 March and were quartered in the town. Almost immediately they were attacked and fought desperately from house to house. The sepoys determined to escape through the walls, and, with no authority left, the ten remaining officers were persuaded to surrender and seek safety in the citadel on 10 March. The sepoys who escaped were killed or captured and the officers were confined in a small cell. Colonel Palmer was tortured to make him reveal where imagined treasure was concealed.

On 19 August the nine surviving prisoners were taken to Kabul and joined the other [[Captivity of the Hostages|hostages]] on 23 August 1842. Despite having received separate orders from the Political Agent and the Commander-in-Chief at Kabul to evacuate Ghazni, Palmer was court-martialled for surrendering. He was acquitted.

*Capt. Burnett (54th)

'''For context see main article [[Retreat from Kabul to Gundamak]]'''
== The Last Stand ==
This was the eighth and last day of the [[Retreat from Kabul to Gundamak]]. The remainder of the army and camp followers made a last overnight dash from Jugdulluk during which their commander Brigadier Anquetil was killed. Approaching [[Gundamak]] they were surrounded by a superior force and took up a defensive position on high ground off the road. Major Griffiths with Mr Blewitt interpreting attempted to parley but this failed and they were led away captive. Marksmen began picking off the survivors until there was a final attack which finished the affair. Only Lieutenant Thomas Alexander Souter<ref>Often referred to as Captain Souter. [http://books.google.com/books?id=iGYVAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA157&dq=Historical+record+of+the+Forty-fourth,+or+the+East+Essex+regiment+of+foot+It+was+at+first+intended+to+march&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false The Historical record of the Forty-fourth, or the East Essex regiment of foot] states he was a Lieutenant at the time and only promoted in the following October. Souter was released with the other hostages on 21 September and later transferred to the 22nd Regiment. He is recorded as dead in 1864</ref>, Lance-Sergeant Alexander Fair & six privates of the 44th and three artillerymen survived and were taken into captivity.

Prior to this twelve officers had ridden on ahead after the barriers at Jugdulluk. Six were killed as they gradually dropped behind. Capts Bellew, Collier and Hopkins with Lieut. Bird and Drs Harpur and Brydon reached Futehabad where they were decoyed by an offer of food. Bellew and Bird were cut down and the others were pursued to within four miles of Jalalabad. Collyer, Hopkins and Harpur were slain but Dr Brydon reached safety, the only one of the whole army to do so.

HM 44th Regiment consisted of 684 officers and other ranks before the retreat; 36 sick or wounded were left at Kabul of whom 14 died in captivity; 9 were taken prisoner during the march; 8 survived the last stand. The total that perished between Kabul and Gundamak was 632 all ranks.

== The Remains of the Army ==
At the last stand on the hill at Gundamak there remained:
*20 officers
*50 men of [[44th Regiment of Foot|44th Regiment]]
*4 or 5 sepoys
*6 Horse Artillerymen

The remainder of the army and camp followers made a last overnight dash from Jugdulluk during which their commander Brigadier Anquetil was killed. Approaching [[Gundamak]] they were surrounded by a superior force and took up a defensive position on high ground off the road. Major Griffiths with Mr Blewitt interpreting attempted to parley but this failed and they were led away captive. Marksmen began picking off the survivors until there was a final attack which finished the affair. Only Lieutenant Thomas Alexander Souter<ref>Often referred to as Captain Souter. [http://books.google.com/books?id=iGYVAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA157&dq=Historical+record+of+the+Forty-fourth,+or+the+East+Essex+regiment+of+foot+It+was+at+first+intended+to+march&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false The Historical record of the Forty-fourth, or the East Essex regiment of foot] states he was a Lieutenant at the time and only promoted in the following October. Souter was released with the other hostages on 21 September and later transferred to the 22nd Regiment. He is recorded as dead in 1864</ref>, Lance-Sergeant Alexander Fair & six privates of the 44th and three artillerymen survived and were taken into captivity.

Prior to this twelve officers had ridden on ahead after the barriers at Jugdulluk. Six were killed as they gradually dropped behind. Capts Bellew, Collier and Hopkins with Lieut. Bird and Drs Harpur and Brydon reached Futehabad where they were decoyed by an offer of food. Bellew and Bird were cut down and the others were pursued to within four miles of Jalalabad. Collyer, Hopkins and Harpur were slain but Dr Brydon reached safety, the only one of the whole army to do so.

HM 44th Regiment consisted of 684 officers and other ranks before the retreat; 36 sick or wounded were left at Kabul of whom 14 died in captivity; 9 were taken prisoner during the march; 8 survived the last stand. The total that perished between Kabul and Gundamak was 632 all ranks.

'''Berhampore''' is situated on the Hooghly River, around 120 miles upstream of [[Calcutta]]. It was one of the early HEIC factories and a British cantonment. It was the headquarters of the [[Murshidabad District]] in the Rajshahi division of Bengal during the British period.

==Spelling variants==
Modern name: Baharampur 
Variants: Berhampore/Berhampur/Brahmapur/Burhanpore

==History==
After the [[Battle of Plassey]] in June 1757, Berhampore was chosen as the site of the chief military station for Bengal and a huge square of brick barracks was erected in 1767. The town continued as a cantonment until 1870.

In one of the first acts of the [[Indian Mutiny]], the [[19th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry]] mutinied here in 1857.

The full style of the system was '''His Exalted Highness, The Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway''' (NGSR) which had its beginnings in a line built privately by the NIzam, to the dismay of the British authorities.

== History ==

The earliest sections of the NGSR were commenced during the 1870s, variously financed, constructed and operated.

In 1883, a management company was formed to gradually take over these lines, under the provision of a guarantee from the Government of HEH the Nizam of Hyderabad State.

In 1930, the State of Hyderabad assumed operational control of the system.

In 1950, the NGSR was nationalised and in 1951 became part of '''Central Railway''', a zone of Indian Railways.

[[Image:India railways1909a.jpg|thumb|250px|''General map of railways in India as of 1909'']]

Welcome to the '''Fibiwiki Railways Project'''. The aim of this project is to improve the Fibiwiki content and coverage on Railways in British India. If you would like to join the project please add your name to the [[FibiwikiProject Railways/Members|list of project members]].

Many of the railway pages have been created already and are now waiting for information to be added about operations, traffic, stations, staff, apprentices, colonies, institutes, schools etc. For a list of pages aleady created go to the [[:Category:Railways|Railways index, 1845-1947]] page.

== Infobox Templates ==

Please use the following Railways Infobox template when creating Railway pages. Using these templates helps us to provide a consistent appearance to the articles within our project.

* [[Railways Line Infobox]]

* [[System Railways Infobox]]

For examples of these Infoboxes and a commentary, please click [[How to interpret this infobox|here]].

==== Template Guidelines ====

These guidelines apply to all infoboxes.

# Most of the fields in each infobox can be left blank if desired.
# If adding an image, do not infringe copyright. If in doubt, don't.
# Internal and external links (eg linking a station name to a location article) can be very effective.

== Station Names ==

Where possible or appropriate, the names of stations and other railway establishments should be standardised either (preferrably) with one of the several ''Alphabetical lists of station names'' published at various dates by the Indian Railway Conference Association (IRCA) and to be found in the India Office Records at the British Library (V/25/720/49-59) or with those place names in the [[Imperial Gazetteer of India]] (available online at [http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/ Digital South Asia Library]). If necessary, a redirect can be made to an article from an alternative name (see [[Help:Editing]]).

==Sections to include==

This section is a work in progress - please discuss things to include/remove on the [[Talk:FibiwikiProject Railways|discussion page]].

All railway articles should be adapted to the opeartion in question, but the ideal article might include the following elements:
#Railways Line infobox
#System Railways infobox (if appropriate)
#Introductory paragraph - (does not need a heading)
#History
#Traffic and transhipment
#Organisation
#Cemeteries and colonies
#Education - (schools and colleges)
#Personalities
#Records - (details of any research materials at the British Library or elsewhere)
#External links - (see below)
#Categories - (see below)

Include anything you think will be helpful to the researcher.

''To see a developed railway article, click [[East Indian Railway|here]] for the East Indian Railway.''

===External links===
Include any quality links you are aware of. Most articles will be able to link to relevant [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] articles). Where there are several links, consider organising them into sections (see [[Calcutta#External_Links|Calcutta]]).

===Categories===
Categories should be placed an the end of an article. All railway articles should be listed in [[:Category:Railways]], but additional categorisation will be helpful. You can copy and paste the text below.

:*<nowiki> [[Category:Railways]]</nowiki>
:*<nowiki> [[Category:Guaranteed Railways]]</nowiki>
:*<nowiki> [[Category:Private Railways]]</nowiki>
:*<nowiki> [[Category:State Railways]]</nowiki>
:*<nowiki> [[Category:Assisted Railways]]</nowiki>
:*<nowiki> [[Category:Indian States Railways]]</nowiki>
:*<nowiki> [[Category:Foreign Railways]]</nowiki>

==Sources for content==
Please add additional sources to this initial list of suggested places to find information to flesh out articles.
*'''[[Google Books]]''' - free pdf copies of many old books.
*'''[[Imperial Gazetteer of India]]''' - provides descriptions and facts for most railways circa 1908.
*'''[http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]''' - good for general facts. Many Indian railways are covered but information on the colonial period is usually scant.

Do also consider the following which is too often overlooked or forgotten.

*'''Your own research/knowledge''' - interesting information or sources you have discovered about a location through your research should be of help to those who come across the same place in their own research.

Sarahb: create

'''Gopal Drooge''' was the site of a natural hill fort used by Tipu Sultan's forces during the [[2nd Mysore War|Mysore Wars]]. Tim Willasey-Wilsey has identified it as the modern '''Kabbal Durga''' (see below, FIBIS resources), south-west of [[Bangalore]]. The hill is some 3500ft. Ruined buildings remain at the site today.

Some of Brigadier-General Mathews officers captured at [[Battle of Bednore|Bednore]] in 1783 were taken from [[Seringapatam]] to the prison at Gopal Drooge where they were executed. See Tim Willasey-Wilsey's article in ''FIBIS Journal'' 31 for further information and images.

==Alternative spellings==
Gopaldrug, Gopal Droog, Gopaul Droog, Coppul Droog, Kaval Drook, Kavel Drook, Copal-Droog, Kavel Druk, Kabbaladurga

==FIBIS Resources==
*"Searching for Gopal Drooge and the Murder of Captain William Richardson" by Tim Willasey- Wilsey ''FIBIS Journal'' Number 31 (Spring 2014) pages 16-25. (For access, see [[FIBIS Journals]].) Gopal Drooge is identified as Kabbal Durga. The murders took place in September 1783 when thirteen officers from the Bombay Army, including Captain Richardson of the [[3rd Bombay Sepoys]] and four officers from the British Army were killed on the orders of Tipu Sultan.

From 1849 when the [[East India Company]] annexed the [[Punjab]] it became necessary to prevent incursion by the frontier Pakhtun tribes. Successive punitive expeditions subdued particular areas until further outrages occurred. Control of the region depended to a large extent on the [[Punjab Frontier Force]] recruited from local tribesmen commanded by British officers.

From 1849 when the [[East India Company]] annexed the [[Punjab]] it became necessary to prevent incursion by the frontier Pakhtun tribes. Successive punitive expeditions subdued particular areas until further outrages occurred. Control of the region depended to a large extent on the [[Punjab Frontier Force]] recruited from local tribesmen commanded by British officers.

19th Hyderabad Regiment

2014-05-04T19:08:39Z

Sarahb: not necessary to list libraries a book is available in

The '''19th Hyderabad Regiment''' was formed in 1922 by the amalgamation of six existing regiments and consisted of five regular battalions and a training battalion

*1st Battalion - see [[1st Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent| 94th Russell's Infantry]]
*2nd Battalion - see [[3rd Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent|96th Berar Infantry]]
*3rd Battalion - see [[4th Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent|97th Deccan Infantry]]
*4th Battalion - see [[5th Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent|98th Infantry]]
*5th Battalion - see [[6th Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent|99th Deccan Infantry]]
*10th (Training) Battalion - see [[2nd Infantry, Hyderabad Contingent|95th Russell's Infantry]]

In 1923, the 1/50th Kumaon Rifles which had been grouped with the Jat Regiment in 1922 joined the 19th Hyderabad Regiment retaining its identity as the [[1st Kumaon Rifles]].

In 1942 the 11th (Territorial) Battalion, 19th Hyderabad Regiment was regularised to become the 1st Battalion, [[Bihar Regiment]].

In 1945 the 19th Hyderabad was renamed the 19th Kumaon Regiment. Post-independence, it has been known as the Kumaon Regiment.

[page 16] The HEICo Court of Directors had several Committees most of whose Minutes do not survive. An important exception is the Committee of Shipping. Minutes for 1685-6 survive at L/MAR/1/1. The 1803-4 Minutes are at L/MAR/1/2 and Minutes for 1813-34 at L/MAR/1/3-26.

The Minutes cover appointments, chartering of ships, matters of discipline, etc., and pensions. Volumes are usually indexed at the front but often the Index refers to topics, not names, so a search in the full text is advisable.

[page 45, alterations to footnote 40] Bholeo (there spelled Bhaliah”) is defined by Bishop Heber’s wife as:
:“A very nice covered … ten-oared boat with a comfortable room quite new and nicely fitted up..” (C H Cholmondeley ''The Heber Letters 1783-183''2 London 1950 p313).

The music may have been provided by some regimental band, but by the 20th century:
:“The Viceroy had his own orchestra which used to play most evenings, during dinner…” (Charles Allen ed ''Plain Tales from the Raj'' London 1975 p131). }}

Sarahb: book refs altered

==Bullets/factory/books==
Regarding 'British Library Holdings', I have removed this as these are not sources that pertain especially to the British Library. Have referred to the Kanwar book in the appropriate place, which readers can seek out if they wish, and have removed the J of USI reference as it seems we have no idea what it is - is it the same as the Kanwar book (same year...)? If we don't know what it is, we should not recommend it. [[User:Sarahb|Sarah]] ([[User talk:Sarahb|talk]]) 11:03, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
