Excerpt from The History of the Bengal European Regiment: Now the Royal Munster Fusiliers, and How It Helped to Win India I have placed on record the services of "The Bengal European Regiment, " in order that the inheritors of it's fame and trophies may for all time bear in grateful memory it's gallant exploits, winch in so large a degree have conduced to the civilization, peace, and security of millions of Her Imperial Majesty's subjects. The names of Clive, Warren Hastings, and Eyre Coote, are well known to history, those of Herbert Edwardes, Hodson, and Cavagnari, are household words, but there still remains a long list of heroes, both amongst the Officers and Rank-and-File, whose actions were as noble, and whose endurance was as great, though their valorous deeds have not been so prominently recorded. All their names it has been my endeavour to indelibly preserve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
