Book Overview

Sir Charles Napier's Indian Baggage-Corps: Reply to Lieutenant Colonel Burlton's Attack (1850) is a historical text written by William Montagu Scott McMurdo. The book is a response to Lieutenant Colonel Burlton's criticism of Sir Charles Napier's management of the Indian Baggage-Corps during the Second Sikh War. The author defends Napier's actions and refutes Burlton's claims that Napier neglected the welfare of his troops and failed to properly manage the logistics of the campaign.
