Indian Mutiny 1857 (March 19): Extract from the Ordnance Dept.,
"Proceedings of the Military Board", printed form with
recommendation by one Major Young of the 43rd. Regiment of the
Native Infantry, stating "The Board have no doubt that Breach
Loading will very shortly supercede Muzzle Loading Pieces" - this
tragic rather throwaway comment leading to the disaster of 10 May
1857 whereby Seepoys in Meerut refused to use the cartridges on
Breech Loading Rifles as they required pig or cow fat to grease the
bullet. An extraordinarily bland document that led to one and half
years of bloodshed and turmoil. Rare, important and most unusual.
