With the exception of the terrible retreat from Afghanistan, none of England's many little wars have been so fatalin proportion to the number of those engagedas our first expedition to Burma. The subsequent campaign was no less fatal and, although large reinforcements had been sent, fifty percent of the whole died; so that less than two thousand fighting men remained in the ranks, when the expedition arrived within a short distance of Ava. The Burman policy of carrying off every boat on the river, laying waste the whole country, and driving away the inhabitants and the herds, maintained our army as prisoners in Rangoon through the first wet season; and caused the loss of half the white officers and men first sent there.
Not until the last Burmese army had been scattered did the court of Ava submit to the by no means onerous terms we imposed.
