Although the rebellion had very important religious dimensions, very little is known about British military chaplains in the pre-Mutiny period or during the Mutiny itself. This article seeks to recover the history of this neglected subject and to highlight its significance for the wider history of British army chaplaincy and for British religious policy in post-Mutiny India.
In particular, little has been written about the clergy who ministered to British soldiers in India prior to the Indian Mutiny of β9, the only dedicated study being a short book by Derrick Hughes entitled The Mutiny Chaplains.

In Calcutta in , the future Duke of Wellington took the liberty of employing a regimental chaplain for his 33rd Regiment, his appointee proving to be a great embarrassment who died aboard ship during an abortive expedition to the Dutch East Indies.

However, clergy of different denominations were engaged under very different terms.
