Philip Stigger The question as phrased acknowledges that the British did not fully trust Indians serving in the Regular British Indian Army in the aftermath of what they regarded as the Indian Mutiny of 1857, held by others to be the First Indian War of Inde- pendence. After that event, to guarantee internal security, the Army in India comprised the British Indian Army and Regular British Army formations in an approximate ratio of two Indian soldiers to one European. Consequently, the troops under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief in India on 1 April 1914 consisted of 5,001 BritishJSAHR officers, Sample73,155 British Articlewarrant officers, non-commissioned officers and men, and 150,574 Indian officers, non-commissioned officers and men.1 The British Indian Army was divided also against itself along religious and eth- nic lines for two primary reasons.

  • British Indian Army: Role of Punjab in the World War I
    201 B. Singh & B. Singh: British Indian Army British Indian Army: Role of Punjab in the World War I Bhupinder Singh and Bawa Singh Central University of Punjab, Bathinda ________________________________________________________________ The British Indian Army evolved out of the three presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay, which had come under the control of the East India Company in the second-half of the eighteenth century. With the outbreak of the Sepoy mutiny 1857, both the administration and the Indian army were radically restructured. The Punjab’s strategic location, the onset of the ‘Great Game,’ and what was believed to be the martial character of local people played an important role in placing this region in the center of British planning. This paper examines the role of Punjab in providing soldiers as well as generous politico-economic support to the British Empire during the World War I. ___________________________________________________________________________________ The origins of the British Indian Army were modest. It began in the 17th century as the East India Company’s irregular force guarding a group of four factories with a few hundred men. A pioneer scholar of military history, Roy (2009), claims that with the passage of time, the colonial army became one of the largest employers in India. In the beginning, the presidencies of Bengal, Bombay and Madras contributed significantly to the building of the colonial army. This first phase was popularly known as Bengalization of the British Indian Army, owing to Bengalʹs substantial contribution. The prominence of Punjab and Punjabis in this Army began with the annexation of Punjab in 1849 and was reinforced by onset of the Great Game in general and World War I in particular.

  • The Secrets of a Kuttite
    The Secrets Of A Kuttite By Edward O. Mousley The Secrets Of A Kuttite PART I TO THE FALL OF KUT, APRIL 29TH, 1916 THE SECRETS OF A KUTTITE CHAPTER I EN ROUTE FROM HYDERABAD TO MESOPOTAMIA—VOYAGE UP THE TIGRIS Kut-el-Amara, December 22nd, 1915.—At the present moment I'm snugly settled inside my Burberry sleeping-bag.

The night is still and cold, the stillness punctuated by the rackety music of machine- guns. As I write snipers' bullets crack loudly on the mutti wall behind my head. Another night attack is expected from the trenches in front of the 16th Brigade which we must support. When the battery is in action the most unloved entertainment that offers is the rifle fire that just skips the wall enclosing the date-palm grove in which we are hidden. Sometimes the sharp crackling sound of bullets hitting the trees increases as the flashes of our guns are seen by the enemy, and resembles in its intensity a forest on fire. One hears a sudden crack just ahead like the sharp snapping of a stick, and in the early days of one's initiation a duck is inevitable.
