Book Description
Excerpt from The Illustrated History of the British Empire in India and the East, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Suppression of the Sepoy Mutiny in 1859 Notwithstanding the intrepidity shown by the British in their naval contests with the Portuguese, and the individual darin'g of most of them when danger beset, there was no promise of future military eminence in the composition or character of the first tr00ps raised in Bombay, or in the manage ment of those recruits sent out from England. The officers frequently committed outrages upon the civilians of their own countrymen, and their insolence and abuse of respectable natives was disgraceful to their profession. Some of them were even convicted of acts of petty piracy and robbery in the harbour. The non-commissioned officers unfortunately followed the example so infamously set them. The opinion which the immortal Clive gave of the state of the troops in India, previous to his time and as for the most part he found them when he arrived in India, is borne out by documentary evidence at the India-house, and by the testimony of impartial travellers. Formerly the company's troops consisted of the refuse of our jails, commanded by an officer seldom above the rank of lieutenant, and in one or two instances with that of major; without order, discipline, or military ardour.
