The hero of Kalapore: An incident of the Indian Mutiny : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1899?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, August 1899'.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
On the verso of the sheet is what appears to be an unpublished piece in McGonagall's hand which reads: The Naval Brigade played a very noble part, / Because the [sic] were well skilled in the gunnery art, / They drove the Boers from their positions and made them run / Until they cried oh Heaven save us or we are undone.
First lines read: The 27th Regiment has mutinied at Kalapore: / That was the substance of a telegram, which caused a great uproar / At Sattara, on the evening of the 8th of July, / And when the British officers heard it, they heaved a bitter sigh.
