The Warner Letters - The Experiences of Two English Brothers During The Indian Rebellion Of 1857-1859
By June Bush
Published by Rupa & Co: New Delhi 2008 1st Edition

" The Warner Letters - The Experiences of Two English Brothers During The Indian Rebellion of 1857-1859 (Rupa & Co, New Delhi, 2008) by June Bush presents an extraordinary firsthand account of the Indian Mutiny as seen through the eyes of two young English officers, George and Richard Warner. Drawing from a cache of private letters exchanged during the height of the rebellion, Bush reconstructs their experiences in vivid and personal detail—describing the siege of Lucknow, the desperate conditions of colonial garrisons, and the emotional turmoil faced by ordinary soldiers caught in the upheaval of empire. The correspondence captures the immediacy of battle, the fear and camaraderie among troops, and the brothers' contrasting temperaments—one reflective and humane, the other hardened by war—set against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent episodes in British-Indian history.

June Bush, a descendant of the Warner family, provides careful historical framing around the letters, clarifying the political and cultural context of the rebellion while letting the brothers' authentic voices shine through. The book blends scholarship with intimacy, revealing not only the horrors and heroics of the campaign but also the colonial attitudes and moral struggles of the time. Richly annotated and illustrated, it stands as both a family chronicle and a primary historical document. This edition will appeal to readers of 19th-century military history, students of the British Raj, and collectors of personal narratives from the Indian Rebellion of 1857. "
