In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Introduction. 1. The early years. 2. The Jodhpurs in China. 3. France 1914-18. 4. Their finest hour : Palestine 1918. 5. The capture of Haifa. 6. Interlude: 1918-39. 7. The second world war. Epilogue. Appendices. Notes. Bibliography. This is the story of the magnificent Jodhpur Lancers one of India's most charismatic cavalry regiments even as centenary celebrations begin of their finest hour, their extraordinary victory at the Battle of Haifa (now in Israel) in 1918. Indeed, the charge, mounted on horses against machine gun fire, at the fortified city then held by German and Turkish forces, is described by many as 'perhaps the greatest cavalry charge ever on a regimental scale', ranking alongside Cromwell's Ironsides at Marston Moor, the Polish Lancers at Somosierra and the German cavalry at Mars-la-Tour. No wonder the Jodhpur Lancers were referred to as the Jo Hokums ('As You Command') by the end of the Great War no challenge was insurmountable, no order ever refused. Laced with anecdotes and 'inside stories', Michael Creese traces the roots of the regiment from its raising by the legendary Sir Pratap Singh to its early actions in China. From the muddy trenches of France; to Haifa and Aleppo and Damascus; to its eventual mechanization in the Second World War. Finally, and sadly, to its bureaucratic amalgamation with the Indian Army in the 1950s, where, against many odds, it has been able to retain a slice of its identity and history; the battle cry always 'Ran Banka Rathore' ('The Rathore Invincible in Battle'). (jacket).

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Indian Army founded by the East India Company in the eighteenth century was unique among the armies of the world in that it had two groups of officers - British and Indian. The intention was that the Indian officers, coming from similar backgrounds as their men and naturally understanding their social and religious mores and customs, would form the crucial link between the British officers and the sepoy. It is surprising, therefore, that there has been very little written, by either British or Indian historians, regarding the role and experience of those offices. They were promoted from the ranks and served for many years in their units, embodying both the spirit and the traditions of their regiments. So, who were these Indian Officers who look out at us from photographs taken from the eighteen eighties onwards? How did they, and their British officers, interpret their role? The present volume is a long overdue attempt to answer these questions and to pay due tribute to the men who served the Raj and their country so well in peace and war.

A wide variety of sources has been drawn upon, including interviews with British officers who served with the Indian Army. A thread running through the book is provided by the diary of Amar Singh, a Rajput from Jaipur. He was one of the first members of the elite Imperial Cadet Corps and served in China, France, Mesopotamia and on the North-West Frontier. He ended his military career as Commandant of the Jaipur State forces.
