520 _a"Memoir of the Services of the Bengal Artillery" by E. Buckle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This memoir chronicles the formation and evolution of the Bengal Artillery, detailing its internal organization and the various military campaigns it participated in, particularly in colonial India. The book serves not only as a record of the regiment's history but also reflects the personal dedication of the author, who was deeply invested in documenting the achievements and challenges faced by the artillery corps. At the start of the memoir, the author discusses the early history of the Bengal Artillery, beginning with its formation in 1749 and the challenges it faced during military conflicts such as the Black Hole incident in Calcutta. It introduces significant figures and campaigns, illustrating both the operational aspects and personal sacrifices made by the artillery officers and men. The narrative emphasizes the difficulties in documenting such a history, highlighting the importance of the Army's artillery and its development as integral to the British military efforts in India, while also commemorating the legacy of its brave members.
