| THE SEPOY Edmund Candler  • Offers a collective analysis of the socio-political settings of the British Empire • Tracks the story of the formation of the Indian Army The Sepoy, first published in 1919, by Edmund Candler is a comprehensive coverage of some of the greatest Indian Sepoys who have over the years, given the Indian Army their extensive support and dedication. A sepoy (from Persian meaning "soldier") was a native of India employed as a soldier in the service of a European power, usually that of the United Kingdom. Specifically, it was the term used in the British Indian Army, and prior to that in the Honourable East India Company, for an infantry private, and is still a term used in the modern-day Indian Army. A true tribute to the glorious traditions of the Gorkhas, the Sikh, the Punjabi Mussalman, the Mahrattas and the Dogras, amongst others, The Sepoy gives a thrilling account of almost every regiment ever to have served in the Indian Army.
