Description:In July 1855, James Fairweather passed the competition exam for the Medical Service of the Honourable East India Company and sailed for Calcutta on November 10, arriving there on March 20, 1856. In a few short months he found himself at the center of the Indian Mutiny, the assistant surgeon of a celebrated regiment of hardy North-West Frontier warriors: the 4th Punjab Native Infantry. Often used as little more than cannon fodder, he saw these brave men fight in all the major battles of the bloody campaign, the Storming of Delhi, the Battle of Agra, and the Relief of Lucknow.
