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 an attack made by Lieutenant Colonel Burlton on Sir Charles Napier's Indian Baggage-Corps. The Indian Baggage-Corps was a group of soldiers who were responsible for transporting supplies and equipment during the British colonial rule of India. The book provides a detailed account of the history and operations of the Indian Baggage-Corps, as well as a defense of its effectiveness and importance. McMurdo argues that Burlton's attack was unjustified and that the Indian Baggage-Corps played a vital role in the success of British military campaigns in India.
