Havelock's March On Cawnpore 1857
By J.W. Sherer
Published by Thomas Nelson & Sons: London c1910 (undated)

" Havelock's March on Cawnpore 1857 by J.W. Sherer recounts the dramatic events of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, focusing on Brigadier-General Henry Havelock's determined military advance to relieve the besieged British forces and civilians at Cawnpore. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and official reports, Sherer describes the desperate situation in Cawnpore following Nana Sahib's uprising, the massacre of many defenders, and the urgent calls for reinforcements. The narrative follows Havelock's small but resolute force as it battles extreme heat, disease, supply shortages, and fierce resistance from rebel troops while pushing deeper into hostile territory.

The book highlights not only the military tactics employed by Havelock but also the morale, discipline, and endurance required to succeed under such dire conditions. Sherer captures the tension and urgency of each engagement, leading to the eventual arrival at Cawnpore, where the horrifying aftermath of the Bibighar massacre deeply shocked the relief force. More than a military chronicle, the work serves as a testament to Victorian-era notions of duty, perseverance, and retribution, while also providing valuable historical insight into the complexities and brutality of the 1857 uprising."
