The Indian Mutiny was shaped not only by its great campaigns, but by smaller actions where courage, endurance and leadership were tested under impossible odds. Many have slipped from memory.
 
From Jhelum to Arrah, from Narnaul to the hills of Kumaon, Gallant Men follows the forgotten battles and overlooked acts where ordinary soldiers, officers and civilians found themselves called upon to do extraordinary things. Some earned the Empire's highest honour. Others received little more than a line in an official report - or a quiet grave.
 
Victoria Crosses. Narrow escapes. Desperate fighting. Quiet courage. These are the other stories of the Indian Mutiny.
