Topic: Bite the cartridge

	Bite the cartridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Refusing to "bite the cartridge" was a turn of phrase used by the British in India of Native Indian solidiers (sepoys) who had mutinied in 1857.
		One of the alleged causes of the Indian Mutiny were rumours that the grease on these cartridges designed to keep them dry was, variously, pork or beef fat (pork being abhorrent to Muslims, beef to Hindus), thus their refusal to bite them.
		This phrase, alternately expressed as "biting the bullet" is used to refer to an action that is abhorrent to oneself.

	June2001 - "Patent" Cartridges by Joe Bilby
		This ammunition was designed to accelerate the loading process by omitting the need for a soldier to tear a paper cartridge with his teeth, pour the powder down the muzzle, disengage the Minie ball from the paper and then discard the paper before ramming the ball home.
		Large quantities of “patent” ammunition were acquired by the Federal government for field testing, and at least some of the 200,000 Bartholow cartridges purchased in late 1862 were issued to the 2nd DC and 10th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, when both regiments were stationed in Washington.
		The cartridges were widely issued to infantry regiments, including the 72nd New York of the Excelsior Brigade, which used them at Malvern Hill.

	Some History of Patent Cartridges
		According to one account, the Jerseyans didn't even bother to ram their "patent inflammable cartridges." One man recalled that "after the pieces had become warm it was only necessary to insert the cartridge, give the piece a slight shock, and it was home, thus greatly facilitating the rapidity of loading."
		Except for one officer dismayed by what we would call today a "cookoff," or explosion of a cartridge being loaded, after-action reviews of the ammunition in the First New Jersey Brigade's companies were complimentary.
		Samuel McGowan, commanding the 14th South Carolina Infantry at Frazier's Farm, reported that "The regiment [14th] was halted at the edge of the cleared ground and volley after volley thrown into the ranks of the enemy, who returned upon us a very hot and fatal fire.

		But things change with the introduction of new cartridges that are laced with cow and pig fat.
		Since the sepoys in the regiment are supposed to bite the cartridge and tear it with teeth before loading the gun, the soldiers in the regiment – comprising of both Hindus and Muslims – refuse to use the new cartridge.

	Mangal Pandey - Tamil Cinema - Research - Analysis - Some Ramblings - Srinivas Kanchibhotla
		Cartridges were greased with cow and pig's fat, a fact which completely flew in the face of both the Hindus' and Muslims' religions, and the soldiers were ordered to bite the cartridges to let the gun powder out for the new Enfield rifle model.
		The fact is that the bullets were indeed greased at first by animals' fat, but as soon as the religious aspect came into picture, the authorities were sensitive enough to direct that the cartridges be used by British troops alone and that the sepoys were free to grease them up with vegetable oil.
		The order came a bit late for the mutiny, not before completely ruining the fate and fortune of East India Company's interests in the nation, followed by an abrupt handover of reigns and control to the crown of England.

	George Riddle's experiences in the 39th
		The first time I was drawn up in line of battle and ordered to "load at will," I would much rather have taken the time and came home to load, for I was somewhat scared.
		My heart got between my teeth and I couldn't bite my cartridge, so I finally got it torn off; and the trouble was then to hit the gun-barrel with the cartridge, for the muzzle of the gun wasn't half large enough.
		If it had been as large as an iron kettle, I don't think I could have got my cartridge in it; but I finally got her loaded, but had a hard time returning the rammer.

		The sepoys are to bite the cartridge and tear it open before loading the gun, which they promptly refuse as it is against their religion.The sepoys are assured that no animal fat is used in the manufacture, but days later the truth comes out.
