A Forgotten Episode in the History of the Indian Army. London: Constable & Co. Ltd, 1929 THE WHITE MUTINY SIR MEXANDER CARDEW haunt, 1930 "My dand, O STABLE First edition. Detailed account of a little-remembered incident of Indian history. Sir George Hilaro Barlow, having been made Governor of Madras, arrived in India. And "By his repellent manners he began by turning everyone against him, and then quarreled with the leading men, both of the army and civil service" (DNB). He abolished the monthly allowance to Officers, known as the 'tent-contract,' and open mutiny ensued. Through the efforts of Lord Minto and a number of the most respected officers the disaffected were reconciled, and "The dispute had hardly affected the reputation of Sir George Barlow; in it he had shown great want of tact, but plenty of courage".
