Military – Afghan Wars – Lt Col Dennie fine ms document being a long list of charges brought against Lt Col William Dennie of 13th Light Infantry at Agra by the order of Maj Gen James Watson Commander in Chief India. A total of 28 charges written in a neat secretarial hand on 13pp folio. A remarkably long list of charges against a senior officer. Dennie is charged with deserting his men bullying falsifying muster rolls using offensive language etc. Clearly Dennie was one of those heroes who didn’t suffer fools gladly and followed his own military agendas. But a hero Dennie certainly was as he later played an important role in the storming of Kabul at the start of the first Afghan War his account of the campaign was published in 1843. A remarkable and intriguing document which reveals considerable information on the British army at this time.
