(3) "The only full-length biography" Gough was first gazetted as a lieutenant in 1795, and posted to the 78th Highlanders at the Cape of Good Hope. Subsequent service with the 87th in the West Indies and in the Peninsular War, Talavera, Barossa, Tarifa, Vitoria, and Nivelle, where he was badly wounded. In 1837 he was "appointed to command the Mysore division of the Madras army. In the First Opium War Gough was sent to command the troops at Canton (Guangzhou) The forts defending Canton were captured on 26-7 May 1841, and Gough was made GCB. After the arrival of Admiral Sir William Parker in July, Gough commanded the troops in the combined operations which ended with the capture of the great fortified city of Chinkiang (Zhenjiang) and the signing of the treaty at Nanking (Nanjing) in 1842. For his part in these events Gough was created a baronet, and received the thanks of Parliament and of the East India Company. He returned to Madras, having been made presidency commander-in-chief on 16 June 1841, and on 11 August 1843 was appointed commander-in-chief in India" (ODNB). He led operations against the Sikhs in both the First and Second Anglo-Sikh Wars, obtaining victories at Mudki, Ferozeshahr, Sobraon, Ramnagar, and Chilianwala, but the terrible losses at this last were such that questions were asked about the competence of his command. Sir Charles Napier was sent out to replace him, "but before the change could take place Gough had re-established his reputation by his crushing defeat of the Sikh armies at Gujrat on 21 February 1849, followed by their unconditional surrender to the pursuing force under General Gilbert. He vacated the command on 7 May 1849." Gough is said to have commanded in more general actions than any other British officer of the nineteenth century except the Duke of Wellington, who described him as "affording the brightest example of the highest qualities of the British soldier."

DIARY IN INDIA BY WILLIAM RUSSELL - My diary in India in the year 1858-9, by William Howard Russell, 1860, first edition 2 vols, 408pp 420pp, original cloth. Frontispiece to each volume, 12 plates, folding map. First edition. William Howard Russell (1820-1907) was a journalist and the first celebrity war correspondent. Beginning in 1854, he spent two years covering the Crimean War for the London Times. In December 1857 Russell was sent to India to cover the rebellion, and "though much of the mutiny had passed, this highly experienced journalist participated in the final retaking of Lucknow with Commander-in-Chief Sir Colin Campbell and the follow-up campaign in Oudh. Russell`s entries reflect a sharply critical evaluation of the depth of British violence in suppressing the mutiny and the subsequently high levels of racial feelings. Russell`s view ranges over not only the obvious campaigning, but also touches on the agricultural richness of Oudh, the torturous extremes of Indian weather, and his personal observations of native life. Russell`s views of British involvement are slightly cynical for the times in his belief that the Indian was better off under native rule and that the future of British involvement in India was bleak at best" (Riddick, Glimpses of India, p. 77).
