Letter from Ensign Gordon Hugh Davidson, Bengal European Light Infantry, to his mother, Subathoo, 16 Jan 1845. Accommodation, climate and cricket. He writes, ‘I was glad to hear that Nathaniel Trenchard had gone to Bombay as Papa thought but the other day I saw his name in orders as arrived at Calcutta; I can assure you I do not wish to see him in my Regt. I suppose he is as wild as ever and this is not the country to come to if a man is not pretty steady’.

Lt Davidson was killed at the Battle of Sobraon, during the 1st Sikh War, 10 Feb 1846. Plus transcripts. Associated with the 1st Sikh War (1845-1846).
