SHIPP, Lieut.
Memoirs of the Extraordinary Military Career of John Shipp, Late A Lieut. In His Majesty's 87th Regiment. Written By Himself. A New Illustrated Edition. With an Introduction by H. Manners Chichester.
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1890. "New Illustrated Edition." (reprint of the second edition of ,1843, first published in 3 volumes, 1827.) Presentation copy from the publisher.
Tall 8vo., orig. cloth, 386pp. Inner hinges cracked, wear to spine ends, a good copy only.
This account is mainly about Shipp's service in India; under Lord Lake fighting against the Mahrattas. He was "one of the stormers at the capture of Deig in 1804 and led the forlorn hope of the storming column in three out of four desperate, but unsuccessful, assaults on Bhurtpore in 1805. He later served with the 87th in the second campaign of the Ghoorkha War, and served at the siege of Hattrass and was involved in the Mahratta and Pinaree War of 1817-18. Shipp was later court martialled over what appears to be an unpaid debt. Shipp also travelled in South Africa.
