Chris Green
The forgotten story of the White Indian Mutiny.
Following the Indian Sepoy Revolt, which began in 1857, the British government took over ruling India from the East India Company.
As part of that transfer, they proposed that the European regiments within the EIC army would become part of the regular British army.
Believing that their pay and promotion opportunities would be adversely impacted and the traditions of their old regiments (some older than almost all British army regiments) wold be eradicated the men of the European Regiments mutinied.
