INDIA - HODSON`S MEMOIRS OF SIKH WARS - Twelve Years of a Soldier`s Life in India, Extracts from the letters of the late Major W.S.R. Hodson, including a personal narrative of the Siege of Delhi and capture of the King and princes, Ed. by his brother Rev. George H. Hodson, 1859, second edition, 384pp, later cloth. Engraved portrait pasted on frontis. Extracts from letters covering Hodson`s service in the army of the East India Company from 1845 until his death at the Relief of Lucknow in 1858. Hodson served in the First Anglo-Sikh War at the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon, and occupation of Lahore in 1846. Active in the battle of Gujerat and the annexation of the Punjab in 1849. He was appointed adjutant of the corps of guides and after the outbreak of the Mutiny was commanded to raise a troop of irregular cavalry which was named after him. He participated in the recapture of Delhi in 1857 and was responsible for the capture of the King of Delhi and also three princes, the latter of whom he personally executed. Hodson`s career was controversial and he was accused of brutality and misappropriation of funds (hence the need for the vindication): Contemporaries of Hodson recorded (in their letters and memoirs) his abilities and qualities as a cavalry officer. General Hugh Gough said in his memoirs: `A finer or more gallant soldier never breathed. He had the true instincts of a leader of men; as a cavalry soldier he was perfection; a strong seat, a perfect swordsman, quick and intelligent`. A good copy of a scarce edition.
