→Other wars and battles: Leonaur title
====Other wars and battles====
* Young, James
''Galloping guns : the experiences of an officer of the Bengal Horse Artillery during the Second Maratha War 1804-05''.
s.l.: Leonaur, [2008?]. (Eyewitness to war series)
"This is not great literature, but it is one of only a very few accounts of this important, but today virtually unknown, campaign. [This conflict], however, went a long way to securing British domination of central India covering as it did an area surrounding Agra and Dehli, and several hundred miles around those towns. The book contains a great deal of information on the daily life of the army, and a lot about the introduction of Horse Artillery into Indian Warfare. ... if your ancestors took part in this campaign, it is well worth buying. (Nick Balmer, 2008)
This title is one of more than a dozen contemporary accounts of battles in India and Asia which Leonaur have brought back into print in attractive, affordable versions. The books are OCR versions of the originals and it should be noted that in the case of ''Galloping guns'', and possibly also the other titles, software recognition failures have not been corrected.
