Excerpt from Biographical Notices of Officers of the Royal (Bengal) Engineers
It will be seen from the list of works consulted in the prepara tion of this book, that many of the biographical notices have already been published in books and journals; and although the compilation has been a work of considerable labour, it has also been one that could not fail to emphasise, if possible more clearly than before, the admiration that must exist for a Corps which for a century and a half was distinguished in every branch of military and civil administration, and in building up the great fabric of our Indian Empire.

Excerpt from Biographical Notices of Officers of the Royal (Bengal) Engineers
At the close of the nineteenth century it seems very desirable that a more complete record than as yet exists should be compiled of the distinguished services of the Officers of the Royal (Bengal) Engineers - services which have extended over a period of nearly a century and a half, from 1756 to 1900. Biographical and other notices and memoirs relating to the services of the Officers of the Corps have from time to time been published, but these are dispersed in various books, journals, and other publications.
It is with this object that, after consultation with some well-known Officers of the Corps, I have ventured with considerable diffidence to compile and arrange in this volume the biographical notices of thirty-four distinguished officers, many of whom, as Lord Napier of Magdala, Sir Henry Durand, Sir John Cheape, and others, attained to the highest positions as soldiers, administrators, or men of science, and whose services in India and other countries are fully known and appreciated.
It was at first proposed to include in this volume the names of several distinguished officers now living, among whom might be mentioned Generals Sir Richard Strachey, G.C.S.I., and Sir Alexander Taylor, G.C.B., and the Colonels-Commandant of the Corps; but it was found that the book would have assumed too large proportions, and it seemed best to restrict this volume to notices of the services of deceased officers only.

This book is a collection of biographical notices of distinguished officers who served in the Royal (Bengal) Engineers, a corps that played a significant role in British India's military and civil administration.

Through the lives and contributions of these officers, the book sheds light on the development of India's infrastructure, the establishment of its railways, the expansion of its irrigation systems, and the evolution of military strategy during a period of great social and political change. The officers' experiences provide insights into the challenges and triumphs of imperial rule, the impact of technological advancements on warfare, and the complex relationship between the British and Indian people.
