The Cannons of Lucknow, Vol. 4 »

V. A. Stuart wrote several series of military fiction and numerous other novels under various pseudonyms. Her settings span history and the globe, from the Napoleonic wars of Europe to India under the British Raj. Born in 1914, she was in Burma with the British Fourteenth Army, became a lieutenant, and was decorated with the Burma Star and the Pacific Star.

Cawnpore has been retaken by British soldiers, but they have come too late to stop the slaughter perpetrated by the mutinous Indian army.
