Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Ted Garvin, jayam and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Narrative of the Siege of Delhi" by Charles John Griffiths is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. It recounts the dramatic events and experiences surrounding the Siege of Delhi during the Great Indian Rebellion of 1857, focusing on Griffiths's personal observations and participation throughout the conflict. The opening of the narrative establishes the historical significance of the Siege of Delhi in the context of the Indian Rebellion, emphasizing the intense struggle faced by a small band of British soldiers against overwhelming numbers. Griffiths, a Lieutenant in the 61st Regiment, provides a vivid recounting of the initial moments leading to the outbreak of mutiny at Meerut, detailing the air of complacency among British forces and the subsequent chaos that ensued. Notably, through the lens of one officer's firsthand experiences, the text foreshadows the impending violence and the heroism that would emerge in the desperate fight for survival. The detailed observations serve to immerse the reader in the atmosphere of tension and uncertainty that preceded the siege.
