Framed Print of General Jacobs, of the Scinde Horse, 1858. Creator: Unknown
General Jacobs, of the Scinde Horse, 1858. When the first Affghan war broke out Lieutenant Jacob accompanied the army of Lord Keane as far as Upper Scinde, where he was left to assist in keeping open the communications, &c...In the beginning of 1842 he was appointed to the command of the Scinde Horse...[which was] ordered to join the army of Sir Charles Napier, and played a conspicuous part in the campaign that followed, covering themselves with glory at the battles of Meeanee, Hyderabad, and Shah-dadpoor...on the site of the old mud fort of Khaunghur there sprang up the thriving town of Jacobabad (containing now some 10, 000 inhabitants), and the district around became as peaceful and flourishing as any part of British India...Major Jacob had turned his attention to the improvement of rifled firearms...his percussion rifle shells form a new feature in modern warfare, and would render it all but impossible for a battery of field artillery as at present constituted to keep the field, having been repeatedly proved perfectly effective at the distance of upwards of a mile'.
