First edition, rare in commerce. The hard-fighting Sir Joseph Thackwell was "an efficient and humane commander" (ODNB) whose deeds during the war earned him Wellington's recommendation for the GCB. When the war began, Thackwell (1781-1859) was given command of the 3rd infantry. Following "the death of Brigadier Cureton in the action at Ramnagar on 22 November 1848, he was transferred to the cavalry division. After Ramnagar, the Sikhs crossed to the right bank of the Chenab. To enable his own army to follow them, [Hugh] Gough sent a force of about 8000 men under Thackwell to pass the river higher up, and help to dislodge the Sikhs from their position by moving on their left flank and rear. Thackwell found the nearer fords impracticable, but crossed at Wazirabad and on the morning of 3 December camped near Sadulapur. He had orders not to attack until he was joined by an additional brigade; but he was himself attacked towards midday by about half the Sikh army. The Sikhs drove the British pickets out of three villages and some large plantations of sugar cane, and so secured for themselves a strong position. Their artillery kept up a heavy fire until sunset, and they made some feeble attempts to turn the British flanks, but there was very little fighting at close quarters. In the course of the afternoon, Thackwell received authority to attack if he thought proper; but as the enemy was strongly posted, he considered it safer to wait until next morning. By morning the Sikhs had disappeared, and it is doubtful whether they had any other object in their attack than that of gaining time for a retreat" (ODNB). At Chilianwala (13 January 1849) and Gujrat (21 February), Thackwell commanded the left brigade of cavalry. In his 26 February dispatch, Gough commended "this tried and gallant officer for his valuable assistance and untiring exertions throughout the present and previous operations as second in command with this force". Bruce highlights the Narrative's "valuable appendix of dispatches". Bruce 4231; Chopra, p. 57; Cockle, India, p. 25; not in Riddick. Octavo.
