The Pattern 1853 Enfield cartridge and the Historiography of the “Greased cartridge"
Of all the English colonial wars fought during the reign
of Queen Victoria, none arrested the attention of the home
population like the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Tales of atrocities,
daring escapes, valor on the battlefield and the retributions that
followed shocked and fascinated the British public. Thousands
of books on the rebellion have been published, from the first
year of the conflict until very recently. While the causes behind
the rebellion are complex and open to interpretation, most
historians agree that the “greased cartridge affair” triggered
the uprising of sepoys in the service of the East India Company
in May of 18571.
