On the 2nd. November 1824, during the 1st Burmese War, the 47th Native Infantry mutinied. The base causes were to be repeated in the better known 1857 mutiny (some folk will never learn). The events were observed by my wife's gg-grandfather, Thomas Erskine DEMPSTER, who was the surgeon attached to the regiment. His record was published in The Journal for Army Historical Research, Vol. 54, 1976, and a summary posted on the India list.
