A first-hand account of the British campaign in the hills north of Cutchee (Kachchh), India, in the mid-19th century. Written by a surviving subaltern under Major Billamore, the 'Memoir of the First Campaign' offers a rare glimpse into the challenges and realities of colonial warfare in a remote and rugged region. The narrative details the military strategies, the encounters with local populations, and the daily lives of soldiers engaged in this conflict. This edition sheds light on a little-known campaign within the broader context of British expansion in India, making it a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in military history and the British Empire.
