  • Indian Order of Merit
    INDIAN ORDER OF MERIT HISTORICAL RECORDS 1837 - 1947 VOLUME ONE 1837 - 1860 CLIFF PARRETT AND RANA CHHINA TOM DONOVAN EDITIONS The definitive historical record of the Indian Order of Merit and its recipients, many with full details of the gallant deeds for which their decorations were awarded. More than a book about a medal – a detailed history of the campaigns fought by Indian soldiers of the British Indian Army, deeply researched, much from original primary sources and records in Delhi and London. The I.O.M. is the oldest decoration granted exclusively for bravery in the British Empire and it was perceived, at least until 1912, as the Indian soldier’s equivalent of the Victoria Cross. This work will encompass the original conception of the Order, its establishment in 1837, and the manner in which it was awarded throughout the 110 years of its existence. Details of all known awards are provided within a narrative that places them in their historical context. Hitherto it has been difficult to get a reasonable perspective on the services of Indian regiments during a period when despatches and narratives were biased towards extolling the services of British troops. A different and enlightening approach has been taken over previously well trodden ground, resulting in a contextual narrative of particular interest for students of Indian Army campaigning. In cases where there was a surfeit of reports on the gallant deeds of a particular soldier, perhaps for a relatively obscure action, as much as possible of this has been retained. Rewards for gallantry in the most important actions, such as those at Delhi and Lucknow, were often granted on the basis of ‘general citations.’ In order to address the consequent absence of personal information, services of the decorated soldiers’ regiments have been recounted in detail.

  • 16 Lieutenant J D Grant Vc
    LIEUTENANT J D GRANT VC 8th Gurkha Rifles Date of Action Campaign 6th July 1904 Tibet John Duncan Grant was born at Roorkee in the United Provinces, India on 28th December 1877, the eldest son of Colonel Suene Grant RE. He was educated at Cheltenham College and attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst in 1898. He then joined the 30th Punjab Regiment of Bengal Infantry before transferring to the 44th Gurkha (Rifle) Regiment of Bengal Infantry, which later became the 1st Battalion, 8th Gurkha Rifles. In the late 1890's, the Indian Government had become increasingly concerned about the behaviour of their neighbour Tibet. The Lhasa Government had been flirting with Russia and there were signs that a secret treaty with Moscow was being negotiated. This would have contravened Tibet's treaty with India. In 1903, Russian arms began to appear in the country, Indian territory was encroached upon, and it became clear that some protective measures had to be taken. A political officer was therefore sent to the frontier to treat with the Tibetans; the 8th Gurkha Rifles escorted him. After waiting in vain for four months for the Tibetans to come to negotiate, the Indian Government reluctantly ordered an advance on Gyantse. At first the march was peaceful, but soon serious fighting took place, one action involving the 8th Gurkha Rifles being fought at 18,000 feet, probably a record height for an infantry battle at that time. One of the key positions in the Gyantse valley was Gyantse Jong, a fort built on a rock rising about 600 feet above the valley.

The Gurkha museum differs slightly from other regimental museums in that it has an introductory section about the Gurkha’s homeland and a soldier’s civilian life in Nepal in order to contextualise the Gurkha soldier’s social and cultural background. The museum uses large scale fibre optic interactive maps, photographs (both historic and contemporary), soundscapes and audio descriptions, dioramas and tableaus in its display. There are a number of Tibetan objects in their collections, both on display and in storage. However, only two are specifically documented as relating to the Younghusband Mission to Tibet 1903-04, however it is possible that some of the other objects came from this campaign as well. OBJECTS: The majority of the Tibetan objects in the Gurkha Museum were collected by Major Tom Le M Spring Smyth (d. 2009) who served with the Queens Gurkha Engineers, and was a well-known botanist and life-long collector.
