… THE KHALSA, 1799-1849. "The Sourcebook of the Sikh Wars is the first comprehensive work dealing with the Anglo-Sikh Wars fought in India between 1845 and 1849. The book provides a brief political background of the conflict, a concise account of both Sikh Wars, the actions that led to them, and a detailed description of the armies involved. Now, for the first time ever, an exhaustive account of the formation and rise of the Sikh Khalsa has been written, where every single battalion, cavalry regiment and artillery derah, along with the infamous Ghorchurra regiments, is traced from its initial formation to final engagement in battle. From an original band of knights errant and freebooters to the first experimental battalions and finally as the famed ‘brigades' created by former Napoleonic army officers, all Sikh formations and their commanding officers are tracked on an annual basis. The Anglo-Indian army is also well covered. Drawing from original and often long ignored documents, detailed Orders of Battle are presented for the very first time, correcting serious errors that have crept into almost every account since the first battlefield reports were written. Included in these documents are the full name, rank and unit affiliation not only of unit commanders, but army and personal staff and foreign observers…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

…"infamous" is a strange choice of adjective paired with Ghorchurra (or any equivalent spelling…) |

Work is well underway to get this book to the publisher by the end of 2018. Periodic updates have been and will continue to be posted here on an irregular basis…every 2-4 weeks. |

Hi Andrew- What's the latest on the book release date? Also, are you a wargamer too or solely an historian/writer? |
