PREFACE. 
 
 Notwithstanding that the Indian Mutiny- 
 is now an event long past, and the facilities 
 of modern education and travel tend to 
 obliterate quickly the memory of circum- 
 stances which, at the time of their occur- 
 rence, were of thrilling interest, I venture 
 to publish these extracts from letters which 
 were written to me from day to day by my 
 late dear husband, when he was marching 
 under General Havelock to the relief of 
 Lucknow, feeling sure that there are still 
 many survivors of those days to whom the 
 letters will be interesting ; and I also publish 
 them for the benefit of my grandson, 
 Arthur Forbes Shirreff, and boys of his age, 
 in the hope that whatever be their lot in 
 
X Preface, 
 
 life, they may endeavour to emulate the 
 heroism of one who, young in years and 
 of a most tender and loving nature, faced 
 hardship, fatigue, and danger with a cheer- 
 ful courage that never flagged. 
 
 Perhaps it is due to those who kindly 
 feel disposed to read these letters, and yet 
 are unacquainted with the leading circum- 
 stances under which they were written, to 
 state that my late husband's regiment, the 
 ist Madras Fusiliers, was one of the oldest 
 in the Honourable East India Company's 
 Service, having fought under Stringer Law- 
 rence, Clive, Coote, Cornwallis and other 
 famous leaders. After the amalgamation 
 of the Honourable East India Company's 
 Service with that of Her Imperial Majesty's 
 Army, the Regiment was known for many 
 years as the 102nd, but it is now called 
 H.M. Royal Dublin Fusiliers. In the 
 year 1857 this Regiment garrisoned Fort 
 
Preface, xi 
 
 St. George, at Madras ; and, because it was 
 composed of Europeans, was sent to Cal- 
 cutta by Sir Patrick Grant, K.C.B., the then 
 Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army, 
 in order that it might proceed up country 
 at once, and help to quell the mutiny which 
 was spreading in Bengal. 
 
 Their Colonel (afterwards Brigadier- 
 General Neill) distinguished himself at an 
 early period of the campaign, by suppres- 
 sing the Mutineers of Benares on the 3rd 
 of June. 
 
 A part of the corps was amongst the 
 first to arrive at Allahabad, and with some 
 other regiments formed the force over 
 which General Havelock was appointed, 
 and on the 7th July they started on their 
 perilous march, first to Cawnpore, and 
 then to push on to the relief of Lucknow. 
 Fighting their way from day to day, they 
 soon reached and took Cawnpore, and 
 
xii Preface, 
 
 there alas ! became aware of the saddest 
 event of those terrible times, viz. the 
 massacre by the insurgents of the European 
 women and children. Anxiety to relieve 
 Lucknow caused General Havelock to 
 hurry forward, and the 22nd and 23rd of 
 July found him with his little army crossing 
 the Ganges into Oude, a small Kingdom 
 which had lately been annexed to British 
 rule. In Oude they fought several battles, 
 but towards the middle of August the 
 General reluctantly felt obliged to retrace 
 his steps to Cawnpore. Cholera as well 
 as fighting had so reduced his numbers 
 that there was no alternative but to wait 
 for reinforcements. These arrived about 
 the 15th September with General Outram 
 in command, and then the recruited column 
 recrossed the river, and began its final 
 advance on Lucknow, which was entered 
 on the 25th. To that memorable day 
 
Preface. xiii 
 
 these letters do not extend, owing to the 
 complete Interruption of the usual means 
 of conveying intelligence. Lady Inglis, in 
 her interesting book '^ The Siege of Luck- 
 now/^ has given a vivid description of the 
 joy with which the army under Generals 
 Havelock and Outram were welcomed by 
 the beleaguered garrison. Thus reinforced 
 they kept the enemy at bay, until adequate 
 relief arrived under the command of Lord 
 Clyde. 
 
 This however did not happen until No- 
 vember, and in the interim there was per- 
 petual fighting between the troops in 
 Lucknow and the rebels surrounding them. 
 Valuable lives were lost almost daily. 
 Among them was that of my dear husband, 
 who was mortally wounded in a sortie on 
 the 5th October. While on the march to 
 Lucknow he had heard of the birth of his 
 little daughter, receiving at the same time 
 
xiv Preface, 
 
 a tiny lock of her hair, and doubtless the 
 hope of being spared to see her caused 
 him many a pleasant thought in the midst 
 of his anxieties and dangers. But the 
 meeting was not to be. He died in the 
 Residency Hospital, and they buried him 
 in the same spot with many of his com- 
 rades, and now violets bloom where these 
 heroes were laid.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Extracts from letters written to his wife 
 by Lieutenant William Tate Groom, an 
 officer in the ist Madras Royal Fusiliers. 
 He was born August loth, 1831. Edu- 
 cated at Rugby School. Entered the Hon. 
 E.I.C. Service in 1850, served in the Bur- 
 mese war of 1852-1853 (Burmese Medal, 
 Pegu clasp). Was ordered with his regi- 
 ment to join General Havelock's Force 
 in quelling the Indian Mutiny, May, 1857. 
 Fought all through this campaign until 
 he was wounded, after entering Lucknow, 
 in a sortie on the 5th of October, lingering 
 until the 21st, when he died in the Resi- 
 dency Hospital. 
 
WITH HAVELOCK 
 
 FROM 
 
 ALLAHABAD TO LUCKNOW, 
 
 Sasseram, 
 Thirteen miles south of Benares, 
 On the Grand Trunk Road 
 
 June ^th^ 1857. 
 
 I seize the opportunity of an hour or 
 two's rest to write a line to you ; perhaps 
 the last you will get for some time, as 
 all communication is stopped north of 
 Benares. 
 
 The rebellion has spread all over Bengal 
 and the mutineers are in possession of 
 eleven out of seventeen Treasuries. 
 
 B 
 
With Havelock 
 
 We hope to get into Benares to-morrow 
 morning. The night before last, the 37th 
 B.N.I, mutinied in Benares, and were fired 
 into and dispersed by some 200 of ours 
 and the loth Queen's. Some of the Sikhs 
 Regiment were killed by accident, and 
 they went off too ; but it is reported that 
 they returned yesterday, and have had 
 10,000 rupees given them by the head 
 magistrate. Allahabad has revolted. At 
 Ferozpore, Her Majesty's 61 st cut one 
 regiment to pieces, and the other corps 
 laid down their arms. The 4th Cavalry 
 stuck to us. A portion of the Gwalior 
 contingent have gone over to the enemy. 
 Punjab ready to rise if any mistake is 
 made at Delhi, which is to be attacked to- 
 day. 
 
 I left Calcutta on the night of the 4th 
 June by rail, and we arrived at Raniganj 
 at two o'clock in the morning of the 5th. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 3 
 
 Renaud, Stephenson, Grant, Fraser and 
 Spurgin went on in carriages immediately, 
 Seton and I started on the same day at 
 six o'clock in the evening, and ran 100 
 miles by twelve o'clock noon on the 6th. 
 We dined, and at four o'clock p.m. again 
 started and caught up the others at Sher- 
 ghatti, where they had stopped by order, 
 on account of the revolt in Benares. We, 
 however, last night got a telegraph de- 
 spatch, *' All clear, come on,^' so we have 
 run on to this place, and start for Benares 
 at four o'clock p.m. We are all armed 
 with guns, revolvers, etc., and keep a 
 bright look-out. There are Sowars all 
 along the road, so I think we can give a 
 good account of ourselves. 
 
 The Ghoorkas have taken Simla, but 
 have not committed any outrages.. They 
 allowed the ladies and children to proceed, 
 to Dugshai, 
 
 B 2 
 
With Havelock 
 
 No clue yet arrived at as to the cause 
 of the mutiny, but it is generally supposed 
 that the annexation of Oude, Nagpore 
 and Tanjore, and the squashing of the 
 Madras potentate is the real cause of the 
 alarm. They also fancy that Lord Can- 
 ning was purposely sent out to make them 
 all Christians. All these things, together 
 with the new cartridge alarm too, have 
 caused the revolt. 
 
 They say that all the ladies in Benares 
 are in the Mint with a strong guard over 
 them. At Cawnpore, they are in an en- 
 trenched barrack. At Lucknow, in the 
 Residency. At Agra, in the fort. Lots 
 of ladies are in a little fort at Chunar, and 
 we have sent twenty-five of our men to 
 take care of them. I suppose a stronger 
 force will be sent out directly it can be 
 spared, and they will be brought into 
 Benares. I do not think the rebels can 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 5 
 
 do much more mischief now^ below Be- 
 nares, as troops are pouring up the Grand 
 Trunk Road, and also by the steamer on 
 the Ganges. The mischief they can do 
 above is awful to think of. I am very glad 
 General Sir Patrick Grant has been sent 
 for, and hope to see him in Benares 
 before the end of the month. 
 Colonel Neill is acting brigadier. 
 
 AWshahdidj June i\th^ 1857. 
 
 You have doubtless heard of all the 
 horrors that have been perpetrated, so I 
 need not recount them. 
 
 I reached Benares safely, and was sent 
 off the same night, with 100 men, Stephen- 
 son, and Bailey to reinforce the garrison 
 at Allahabad. 
 
 After three nights' march through a 
 country in a state not to be described, 
 
Wiik Havelock 
 
 (villages and towns all in flames, and the 
 -shrieks of the unfortunate villagers being 
 plainly heard all along the road) we 
 reached the banks of the Ganges on the 
 1 2th. We were surrounded the whole way, 
 but the wretches never came within shot, 
 and were merely looking out for plunder. 
 Such work I never had in my life, and I 
 am only just now able to sit up, and feel a 
 little life in me again, after the exposure 
 to the sun and want of rest. 
 
 We are surrounded here by sepoys, 
 mussulmen, villagers, and in fact all man- 
 kind. Food very short, and our men are 
 dying in an awful way from overwork and 
 exposure. 
 
 We found a wing of a Sikh Corps in 
 garrison here, and Neill got them out last 
 night to the great relief of everybody. We 
 now breathe in peace. 
 
 The enemy are in a very strong position 
 
From Allahabad to Lttcknow, 7 
 
 in a place called " The King's Garden," 
 three miles off nearly. We fire round shot 
 perpetually at his outposts, and to-day we 
 are going to try two huge mortars, and 
 see if we can't touch him up a bit. 
 
 No news from Delhi and Cawnpore ; in 
 fact the whole country north of Benares is 
 in the hands of the rebels. Sad work ! and 
 no one knows how or when it will end. I 
 shall, I hope, keep well. To-day is the 
 first day my head has been itself, and I am 
 on main guard. 
 
 Our men behaved nobly at Benares the 
 other day. They (30) covered the guns, 
 and H.M. loth (200) as they advanced on 
 the 37th B.N.I, and Sikh regiments. 
 
 Our rifles are the admiration of every- 
 body, and we astonish the niggers not a 
 little.

 Same day. 
 
 AWahsJosid, June \\th, 1857. 
 
 I wrote you a long letter this morning, 
 and sent it to the Brigadier (Colonel 
 Neill), in order to insure its being sent by 
 a river steamer that leaves for Calcutta 
 to-night with a large number of ladies and 
 children who have been saved (it has 
 never reached him). I arrived in Benares 
 on the 9th of June, and the same night we 
 (Stephenson, Bailey and 100 men) started 
 for this place, and by God's blessing 
 reached it in safety. 
 
 The whole country is in arms, and the 
 few native servants left in the fort seem to 
 be going off rapidly. 
 
 We are quite safe here, with some 250 
 of ours, 150 volunteers (railway folk, etc., 
 and about thirty invalid artillery). We 
 have lots of food (of a kind) and plenty of 
 ammunition and water. 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 9 
 
 I am in a great state of anxiety about 
 you all in Madras. We never get any 
 news save by reports, which of course 
 cannot be relied on. I cannot give you 
 any news from here, as I cannot tell into 
 whose hands this letter may fall. The 
 letter I wrote this morning has evidently 
 been stolen by the native to whom I gave 
 it. He will not find anything to encourage 
 either himself or friends. The horrors 
 going on in Bengal are enough to appal 
 the stoutest hearts. Such a scene of de- 
 solation as the whole country presents 
 would not be believed on paper. 
 
 Allahabad, 2(^th June, 1857. 
 All well up to this. The cholera has 
 stopped almost entirely. One of our men 
 yesterday, and none to-day as yet. 
 
lo With Have lock 
 
 Renaud has just come in from Benares, he 
 says 800 men are there, chiefly 78th and 
 64th. All coming on as fast as possible. 
 Colonel Havelock is coming here as 
 Brigadier General to command ; and we 
 shall have four European regiments and 
 two or three batteries of artillery in a week 
 or two. I fancy we shall then begin on 
 our own account. We have lots of 
 officers attached to us. Worth, H.M. 
 60th, Lieutenant Moorsom, 52nd3 Morland 
 and Hall, ist Bengal Infantry, Pearson, 
 54th B.N. I., Captain Barrow of our 
 cavalry is also with us. Swanston of our 
 7th is with the Sikhs. We have had no 
 fighting since I last wrote. Intelligence 
 has been received of the fall of Delhi, and 
 the capture of the king, who is to be 
 hanged ! ! ! Hurrah ! ! ! All officers are 
 quite well. The dawks now come in daily 
 from Calcutta, so I hope you will get a 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 1 1 
 
 line every day from me. Colonel Neill 
 has had such a letter from Sir Patrick 
 Grant, thanking the regiment, which he 
 calls *' his dear lambs," for the work they 
 have done^ 
 
 Allahabad, y^;^^ 29/^, 1S57. 
 
 All well up to this. Some more men of 
 the 84th came in yesterday, also a com- 
 pany of the 64th. 
 
 General Havelock comes in to-morrow 
 morning, his staff the day after. He sent 
 in an order to have two full regiments, and 
 six guns ready to advance to the relief of 
 Cawnpore by the end of the week. 
 
 The Sikhs (who always appear to get the 
 very best intelligence) heard last night, 
 that General Wheeler was doing well at 
 Cawnpore, and though surrounded, he was 
 able to make sallies now and then, and 
 
12 With Havelock 
 
 inflict sufficient punishment to keep the 
 insurgents at a respectful distance. Sir 
 Henry Lawrence is holding his ground 
 well at Lucknow, but there is a strong 
 force round him. The whole of Oude 
 is lost save Lucknow, and it will be smart 
 work if we save that. Poor Sir Henry is 
 very dangerously ill, they say, and should 
 anything happen to him, I fear that Luck- 
 now would fall. We expect Grant, Dale 
 and our men from Ghaziepore to-night, 
 and 300 of the 64th in the Mirzapore^ and 
 coal steamers. This was once a lovely 
 place (three weeks ago). The canton- 
 ments are magnificent, such fine roads, 
 and grand old trees on each side of them, 
 so that at mid-day one could drive about 
 from house to house in the shade. Some of 
 the houses must also have been very fine, all 
 save three or four now occupied by troops 
 have been completely destroyed. The 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 13 
 
 church, a large and very handsome build- 
 ing, is now occupied by troops. The rebels 
 completely smashed all the pews, the 
 altar, ceiling, and painting, and tore every 
 Bible and prayer-book they could find into 
 little shreds. 
 
 We hear that everyone is in great alarm 
 in Bangalore, guns in all the barracks, and 
 troops parading for church armed. It is a 
 very wise precaution, for the mutiny here 
 has most effiectually proved how little we 
 know of sepoys or any natives. Yesterday 
 (Sunday) I was on a court martial, trying 
 a native, who after a most lengthy and 
 elaborate investigation, turned out to be 
 one of the only men who can be trusted 
 about here. He had pointed out the houses 
 of several Budmashes in the city, and the 
 Shiristadar ^ and head of police trumped up 
 two false charges against him to get him owX/

 of the way ; they being a pair of the great- 
 est scoundrels in the place. I have just 
 found out that no postage stamps are to 
 be got here, so you will have to pay one 
 anna for my letters. I have got one rupee 
 and three annas, and Major Stephenson 
 owes me fifteen rupees ! ! ! so I am quite 
 rich. I don't know what we shall do for 
 want of money. The men have had no 
 pay this month at all. 
 
 We have had a magnificent fall of rain 
 which has laid the dust and cleaned out the 
 drains of the fort. We all feel very smart 
 and fresh after it. Cholera nearly entirely 
 disappeared, and a little pay, and 2000 
 pair of boots, and a few spare boxes of 
 rifle ammunition would do wonders for us. 
 Fancy ! We are armed with rifles and 
 have hardly any cartridges left. There 
 are none in any arsenal in Bengal save at 
 Calcutta. 
 
 \ 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 15 
 
 Allahabad, yi^^/y 3r^, 1857. 
 This will be the last letter that you must 
 expect for some time. We advance to- 
 morrow morning, at least that is the order, 
 and after quitting this, we plunge into 
 utter anarchy and desolation. No post- 
 offices ! No meat ! No drink ! no nothing ! 
 
 1 was on main guard yesterday, and at 
 
 2 o'clock a.m. had to open the gate for an 
 officer who had come in with dispatches 
 from Renaud, forty miles ahead. He 
 says they have received intelligence in 
 camp, of the fall of Cawnpore, and the 
 massacre of the whole of the Europeans 
 there. A Rajah told Sir Hugh Wheeler 
 that if he would quit the place at once, 
 they might do so without molestation 
 by boats. He, being very short of 
 food, Hstened to the fiend, who got 120 
 boats for the party who embarked, and 
 
t6 With Have lock 
 
 pushed off; no sooner were they in the 
 river, than he opened fire on them from his 
 heavy guns, and killed large numbers. 
 Many jumped from the boats and reached 
 the opposite shore, but were immediately 
 cut to pieces by a body of 2000 cavalry, 
 who have been patrolling the road to keep 
 out all communication between Cawnpore 
 and Lucknow. 
 
 He told me all this, and then galloped 
 straight to the general's tent. Shortly 
 after lights flickered there, and great has 
 been the consternation all the morn- 
 ing. 
 
 This morning orders show Stephenson, 
 Grant, j myself, Dangerfield and Seton 
 with 200 men to Cawnpore to-morrow ; 
 with us, 64th, 84th, and I hope some guns. 
 Thirty of the R.A. have just arrived. 
 Renaud's party I believe have been or- 
 dered to halt, and await our arrival, as the 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 1 7 
 
 enemy must now be in great force on the 
 road, and 400 men cannot possibly take 
 Futtehpore — 1400 will be better able to 
 manage it. Graeme and Hornsby are both 
 in Calcutta, I see, and will doubtless very 
 shortly join us. Spurgin and Arnold went 
 in the steamer with 100 men this morning. 
 I do not think they will reach Cawnpore as 
 the river is falling very rapidly. I shall 
 keep this open till five o'clock (it is now 
 about one p.m.), and will let you know the 
 last news and orders. 
 
 5.30/.;;^. 
 I do not think we can possibly start to- 
 morrow, I see no chance of our getting 
 carriage. We may move into camp. 
 Some alterations have taken place since 
 the morning* 
 
 We shall start thus —

 we may. 
 
 Camp, Allahabad, y^//j/ 5/^, 1857. 
 We moved into camp last night, and I 
 believe we march to-morrow morning at 
 one o'clock. Early rising, is it not ? I 
 fancy we shall be on our legs till twelve or 
 one to-morrow, and perhaps not have the 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 19 
 
 baggage up then. We are encamped on 
 the glacis of the fort, and it is very com- 
 fortable now as I have a chair, table and 
 cot; but all these superfluous luxuries I 
 shall have to leave behind. 
 
 One small hackery for our tent and 
 baggage is all that is allowed. Poor Sir 
 Charles Napier would have been charmed, 
 I am sure, at the scantiness of our apparel, 
 etc. 
 
 No news from anywhere this morning, 
 but we very much fear that Cawnpore 
 must have fallen after all, as we have no 
 news from Sir Hugh of any kind. How- 
 ever, it is impossible to say, as the whole 
 country between Futtehpore and Cawnpore 
 is in the hands of the enemy. 
 
 Later in the day. 
 
 We have just received more news from 
 c 2 
 
20 With Havelock 
 
 Renaud. He says, ** A man has just arrived 
 from Cawnpore and has stated that seven 
 days ago the Rajah withdrew his men, and 
 that Sir H. Wheeler immediately left his 
 entrenchments, hoisted the English flag in 
 the bazaar, and is now in full possession of 
 the place ! ! " I think that this story is 
 more likely than the horrible account 
 brought in two days ago. We have not 
 marched yet, still short of provisions. Our 
 camp makes a very grand front. It looks 
 as if three whole regiments were on the 
 ground, and two batteries of artillery. I 
 suppose this is a dodge of the General's 
 to impress the natives with a wholesome 
 awe of the forces. 
 
 If Cawnpore is clear, we shall march on 
 Lucknow, and relieve Sir H. Lawrence, 
 who must be looking very anxiously for 
 support. All the ladies have been ordered 
 out of this place, and Benares, in case of 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 21 
 
 any fresh row ; and many left this morning 
 in a river steamer for Calcutta. 
 
 I must wind up as the General threatens 
 to move. Grant and I march with a very 
 small sepoy tent between us — no mess tent 
 or anything. I am quite well and strong 
 now, after the rest here. 
 
 Allahabad, Tuesday, July ytk, 1857. 
 One line from me ; we start at two o'clock 
 this afternoon. Yesterday the rain poured 
 in torrents the whole day, and our camp 
 was one huge swamp, all our things wet, 
 and 1 was unable to find a place to write 
 you a line on. Cawnpore has fallen ; I 
 am sorry to say under circumstances of 
 awful atrocity. All the men are in high 
 spirits, and are not as yet affected by the 
 exposure, but I fear we must have a great 
 
2 2 With Havelock 
 
 deal of sickness ere long. A fight at 
 Benares yesterday, 800 of the enemy killed, 
 none of ours hurt. I must stop short as I 
 have not a minute. We are just parading 
 to discharge rifles. 
 
 Rain coming up now ; we shall have a 
 wet march, I don't expect to be dry again 
 for a long time. 
 
 Camp Koh, (^th July^ 1857. 
 I just write a hurried line to say that we 
 are all well up to this. On the evening of 
 the 7th, we left Allahabad in one of the 
 heaviest showers of rain I ever was in. 
 Our own band played us out. The High- 
 landers had their pipes (five), which seemed 
 to astonish the niggers not a little. We 
 went seven miles that night, and were 
 tecamped in a swamp ! ! Next morning, 
 
Fro7n Allahabad to Lucknow, 23 
 
 to everybody's delight, we moved on six 
 miles to better ground, and this morning 
 we have made twenty-seven miles from 
 Allahabad. 
 
 Renaud writes this morning, and says 
 that Spurgin was attacked by 500 men 
 and one gun, as he was going up the river. 
 He landed his men, charged the gun, spiked 
 it, and threw it down a well, putting the 
 enemy utterly to flight. He also says that 
 Nana Sahib is coming down the road to 
 meet us. He is probably not aware that 
 he has to meet 1500 Europeans with eight 
 guns. I only hope he will not find out his 
 mistake and return without the pleasure of 
 an interview. He must be caught some- 
 how or other. His atrocities no one can 
 describe. 
 
 I have not heard any news except that 
 all the Sikhs that mutinied at Benares 
 have been cut to pieces by the Oude 
 
24 With Have lock 
 
 people, who seem to hate them as much 
 as they do us. This Httle incident will, I 
 think, most effectually put a stop to any 
 more Sikhs defecting in that part of the 
 world, at all events. I feel pretty well 
 again, but get very tired from marching. 
 I have no horse or pony, and thirteen miles 
 is rather a long walk before breakfast. I 
 shall soon get into the swing of it though, 
 and shall not feel it then at all. If more 
 troops are sent rapidly from England, we 
 ought very soon to settle these villains and 
 get the country quiet again, and I suppose 
 that then we may have a chance of getting 
 home. 
 
 Everyone here seems to think that the 
 Company's rule is over now ; and that 
 Government will, immediately on the re- 
 ceipt of the intelligence of the mutiny and 
 rebellion, advise Her Majesty to rule 
 India herself. I quite think so.

 I shall, I hope, be able to write again

 Camp,y///v ii^>^5 1857. 
 We reached this ground, name unknown, 
 at nine a.m., after walking seventeen miles! 
 Lots of men in hospital of course ; but the 
 General could not help it, as Renaud, five 
 miles in our front, sent in intelligence last 
 night of the very greatest importance from 
 Lucknow. Sir Henry Lawrence has been 
 attacked, lost one of his forts and four 
 guns. He must also have lost a large 
 quantity of provisions, as he says it will be 
 all over by the 20th. God help him ! I 
 do not think we can possibly relieve him 
 by that time, as we shall have every inch 
 of ground disputed from Futtehpore to 
 
26 With Have lock 
 
 Cawnpore and Lucknow. We have no 
 cavalry except 150 Sowars, that we cannot 
 depend upon. I am pretty well, only 
 rather tired from the long marches that we 
 are obliged to take. I shall finish this to- 
 morrow. Good-night. 
 
 i2tk^ 5 p,m. 
 We had our first fight this morning at 
 eight a.m., and by one it was over. Eleven 
 guns taken, and Futtehpore in our hands ! 
 The General is of course delighted ! Now 
 I must tell you all about it. After our 
 awful walk yesterday, we were all not a 
 little astonished to find that we were to 
 march again at eleven that night : distance 
 eighteen miles. We groaned when our 
 bugles sounded the rouse, and the pipes of 
 the Highlanders began *' Hey Johnnie 
 Cope,'* however, away we went, and joined 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 27 
 
 Renaud's force at about two in the morn- 
 ing ; at seven o'clock we halted on a plain, 
 with topes and a swamp to the right about 
 a mile off, a rising mound in front about 
 700 yards distance, and to the left paddy 
 fields, and broken ground. Our artillery 
 was left on the road that ran straight up 
 the centre of our position. The 78th, 
 selves, and cavalry began to pitch our tents 
 on the right, and the 84th, 64th and Sikhs 
 on the left of the road. One hundred of 
 our men were ordered to proceed two miles 
 up the road, and one hundred Sowars four 
 miles (in fact nearly up to Futtehpore), to 
 make a reconnaissance. I was quite done 
 up, and had lain down under a tree to 
 sleep," when Beatson, the Adjutant-General 
 of the force, rode up and told us ** that 
 our men were retiring, and that the enemy 
 was advancing in force.'* Hardly had the 
 words left his mouth, when they opened 
 
2 8 With Havelock 
 
 upon us with their guns at an impossible 
 distance, and large bodies of cavalry were 
 seen moving to our flanks. As their guns 
 came down the road ours opened on them, 
 and at the same time we all formed 
 quarter distance column, and advanced in 
 echelon from the right, covered by our 
 skirmishers. It was a short, sharp and 
 very decisive affair. Our rifles completely 
 upset their cavalry. They fled, leaving 
 all their guns, a large quantity of tents 
 and ammunition, etc., in our hands, eleven 
 guns of kinds 185, 245 and 9 and 6 prs. 
 We did not lose a man ! Three have died 
 of fatigue, which was to be expected, as 
 we were all in the sun until three o'clock. I 
 fear many more must have died, as they 
 were lying all over the town when the rear 
 guard came through. It has altogether 
 been a very fortunate affair. The sepoys 
 engaged were ist, 53rd, 6th, Gwalior

 Artillery, 2nd Light Cavalry and some 
 irregular regiment. The cavalry all fought 
 in their regimentals ; infantry in white

 i^thjuly, 1857. 
 We Halted here to-day luckily for me. 
 1 had a nasty attack of fever last night 
 from over-fatigue, and the rest has been 
 of great service to me. I hope to be all 
 well again to-morrow. I must stop now 
 as it makes my head ache sitting up. 
 
 Camp Mullipore, sixteen miles from 
 
 Futtehpore, y^/K Hth, 1857. 
 
 We left the scene of our first victory at 
 
 three this morning. I was on the sick list, 
 
 as I told you in my last letter, and had to 
 
30 With Havelock 
 
 come in a dhoolie. I am Very much better, 
 and I shall hope to be quite well in time 
 for the storm and sack of Cawnpore, which 
 little event we hope may come off the day 
 after to-morrow. We have heard that the 
 head of the rebels there, is a Mahratta 
 chief, and that all the women and children 
 are safe in his palace at Bithoor. If so, 
 please God, we shall be able to save them. 
 He, of course, has been keeping them as 
 hostages in case of his capture at Cawn- 
 pore. 
 
 The General has estimated the force we 
 licked on Sunday at 2500. They had 
 arrived at Futtehpore the same morning as 
 ourselves, so their stay there was brief. 
 One hundred Sikhs returned towards 
 Allahabad this morning, to see that the 
 road is kept open. I do not think I told 
 you of our loss on the occasion of the 
 battle of Futtehpore. We lost five men 
 
From Allahabad to Lttcknow, 3 1 
 
 from coup de soleil^ and the other regi- 
 ments about five between them. We 
 were skirmishing in the sun up to our 
 knees, and occasionally waists in water all 
 the morning. One poor fellow was shot 
 in his tent last night accidentally by a 
 comrade. 
 
 Men and officers are tolerably healthy 
 and fresh, considering the work we are all 
 doing, which is anything but light. 
 
 On the line of march this morning we 
 found in a village twenty-five casks of 
 porter, fancy that I It is the best thing 
 we have done yet. Guns are all over the 
 country, but porter is not. 
 
 The guns we captured on Sunday came 
 chiefly from Nowgong — in fact it was the 
 Nowgong company of artillery that was in 
 the field. I must now stop and take a 
 sleep, as we go on at 1 1 o'clock to night ; so 
 good-bye. 
 
32 With Have lock 
 
 I had no idea a week ago that I should 
 have a chance of sending any more letters 
 for a fortnight ; mind, you must not be 
 astonished at a sudden stoppage. 
 
 Camp, i^thjuly, 1857. 
 
 We have had two fights this morning, 
 but have of course held our own. The 
 enemy's practice with a twenty-four siege 
 gun, which was planted on a bridge over a 
 wide nullah, was mighty creditable, but very 
 disagreeable. I feel very seedy to-day 
 after it all, so cannot give you a very full 
 account. As usual we were in front, and 
 to-day got rather peppered* 
 
 Poor Renaud very badly wounded lead- 
 ing the men into action. I fear he will 
 lose his leg. Fraser a contused wound in 
 the elbow, my pay sergeant is also badly

 wounded, biit none of us killed ; 78th one 
 killed, other regiments I know nothing 
 about. We have taken four guns to-day. 
 I am very sick of the constant harassing 
 work, it is incessant ; and from exposure 
 and fatigue, I really feel very far from 
 serene. I must stop now, it is so late ; 
 indeed I only wrote a line in case you 
 might hear of the second skirmish through 
 some other channel. 
 
 Cawnpore, \']th July, 1857. 
 By God's blessing I am again able to 
 let you know how we are. You must not 
 be astonished at any eccentric grammar or 
 English, for my head is in a whirl from 
 exposure and want of rest. Yesterday 
 morning I was on the sick list from a mild 
 sun-stroke, the effects of the two previous 
 
 D 
 
34 With Have lock 
 
 days* fighting. We started from our 
 ground at 5 a.m«, and intended halting 
 four miles from Cawnpore. After proceed- 
 ing about eleven miles, one of our scouts 
 came in and informed the General that the 
 enemy had thrown up works commanding 
 the road two miles in our front ; he 
 ordered us to bivouac (it was then 9 
 a.m.), and told us he intended storming 
 the enemy's position and taking Cawnpore 
 that day. He gave us till one o'clock, 
 and then the bugles sounded the assembly. 
 
 The whole of the sick and wounded, 
 baggage and commissariat were ordered to 
 remain behind, but I got leave from the 
 doctor to come on in a dhoolie, and when 
 the fight opened I was as fresh as possible, 
 though very weak. I am glad I came on, 
 for I saw as hard a day's fighting as falls 
 to the lot of most soldiers. 
 
 Fusiliers in advance of course, and we

 showed them how to drive whole regiments 
 out of snug positions by a couple of ex- 
 tended companies with Enfield rifles. 
 Their grape and canister told very 
 severely on us ; and, horrible to say, the 
 cavalry cut up a very large portion of our 
 wounded and stragglers. After our final 
 advance in line and utter rout of the enemy, 
 we halted, and the General rode down the 
 ground of the 78th and Fusiliers. You 
 never heard anything like the cheering. 
 We slept on our ground that night, with 
 nothing but our swords and muskets for 
 our pillows, and I woke up this morning as 
 filthy and refreshed a man as any in the 
 camp. We moved into the cantonment 
 shortly after daybreak, and our baggage 
 came up about tw^elve ; so I write from a 
 comfortable tent. I am much exhausted, 
 but am decidedly better than I have been 
 since Futtehpore. 
 
 D 2 
 
36 With Havelock 
 
 Spurgin and the steamer arrived and 
 anchored at eleven this morning, so we 
 shall be able to cross the river to- 
 morrow. The General says he intends 
 going to Lucknow in two days (fifty 
 miles) ! He seems quite unconscious that 
 any soldier can ever get fatigued, and ac- 
 cordingly punishes us very unmercifully. 
 
 Captain Beatson,his Adjutant-General, is 
 dying, I fear, of cholera, brought on by over- 
 work and exposure. Poor Currie of the 
 84th, who was commanding the detachment 
 of that regiment, was frightfully wounded 
 yesterday. Stirling, commanding the 64th, 
 was also hit, so now half of the officers 
 commanding have been wounded. We 
 continue to receive the most complimentary 
 messages from Sir Patrick Grant, who 
 calls us *' his dear lambs." I fear that 
 "his dear lambs" are rapidly getting 
 exhausted, and we shall want a fresh supply 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 37 
 
 of them. All these warlike tales must not 
 frighten you, only I think it is much better 
 that you should hear all the accounts from 
 me than through the Athenceum. 
 
 Cawnpore (no date). 
 
 The day before yesterday, Ours, the 
 Sikhs, the cavalry and two guns went to 
 Bithoor, the nest of the fiend who 
 commanded the insurgents here. We 
 started at 10 a.m., and got there about 
 four. We found that he had fled, and all 
 his following dispersed. 
 
 We found twenty guns, the whole of 
 which we brought in yesterday, having 
 bivouacked in the Nana's compound. He 
 had a magnificently furnished English 
 house, with all sort of cows, dogs, horses 
 and sheep, in a large English paddock. 
 
 We looted a good deal. One man of 
 
38 With Have lock 
 
 mine (my own servant) got 600 rupees. 
 I have a chair and a silver plate, which I 
 hope I shall be able to keep. We arrived 
 in camp last night, and found General 
 Neill and 200 of the 84th, the Highlanders, 
 and 64th had crossed the river. We 
 expect to get an order to do the same 
 hourly. Poor Renaud died this morning, 
 his leg was amputated yesterday, and he 
 was much better, but he sank suddenly 
 this morning. They say that the insur- 
 gents round Lucknow are reduced to firing 
 stones. Sir Henry Lawrence is dead, I 
 fear. You had better address me now, 
 General Havelock's Column, Cawnpore. 
 
 Cawnpore, yi^/j/ 22ndy 1857. 
 Here we are still, and the rain falling in 
 torrents. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 39 
 
 Nearly the whole of the Force are 
 now on the other side of the river 
 without tents. They say that the Sikhs 
 are to cross this morning, and we cross 
 this evening. No tents or baggage to be 
 taken to Lucknow, so you may fancy what 
 a comfortable time we shall have of it. 
 Raikes and a hundred men remain here 
 with some other troops in an entrenched 
 camp under General Neill. We have 
 heard no firing for some time now. I 
 think they must be really getting short of 
 ammunition. 
 
 The last camp shave Is, *^ They are all 
 quite comfortable at Lucknow, and can 
 hold out till August.*' 
 
 Still no news from the north. The 
 rebels are In full possession for the present. 
 However, we have made all clear from 
 Cawnpore to Calcutta, which is a good 
 slice of road. 
 
40 With Havelock 
 
 I do not think I told you that the 
 General, after the Battle of Cawnpore, 
 gave ourselves and the 78th a Victoria 
 Cross for the man most worthy of it. When 
 all behaved so well, it was very difficult 
 to find any one man who had distinguished 
 himself above his comrades. But I believe 
 that Colour-Sergeant James Kelly, acting 
 sergeant-major of our detachment, is to 
 have the decoration. 
 
 I am sure that the whole regiment will 
 be proud of having such an honourable 
 decoration in its ranks, and I believe that a 
 better soldier than Kelly cannot be found 
 anywhere to carry it. He has been very 
 badly wounded in the hand and arm, 
 but is getting well rapidly. Poor Currie 
 of the 84th died here of his wounds, and 
 Beatson, our Adjutant-General, of cholera ; 
 so these officers of the Force have now 
 been buried in front of our camp. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 41 
 
 One of the peculiar features of this 
 place is the plague of flies. I had often 
 heard of them, but, if I had not seen it, 
 could not have believed it possible that 
 so many flies existed in the world. You 
 cannot conceive the nuisance they are. I 
 would rather have millions of mosquitoes 
 than suffer the agonies of annoyance 
 caused by the Cawnpore fly. 
 
 I got a saddle and bridle here yesterday 
 for twenty rupees. 
 
 I am going to send you by Dr. Howell 
 a new dress, a present from Captain Grant, 
 looted of course, and a silver tray from 
 myself ; that is if Howell goes away, which 
 is not quite certain. He has been unwell 
 for some time, and unfit for work, and as 
 we have two others, Rean and Robertson, 
 with us, I think they might spare him. 
 
 One of my men found at Bithoor a pair 
 of thorough bred English bull-dogs, they 
 
42 With Have lock 
 
 will bring him 500 rupees at least in 
 Calcutta if he can only manage to keep 
 them. No words can describe the state 
 of mud and filth the camp is in this morn- 
 ing. The rain is still coming down in 
 torrents, and we hourly expect to have 
 to go and bivouac in it on the Oude side 
 of the river. 
 
 I had a really good night's rest last 
 night for the first time since I left 
 Allahabad. I do not expect another for 
 the next six months. I must now 
 conclude, as I am getting near an end of 
 my paper. 
 
 Cawnpore, July 23^^, 1857. 
 Here still. All well. All have now 
 crossed or are crossing the river except 
 ourselves and Sikhs- I suppose we shall 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 43 
 
 be off in an hour or two. I heard 
 yesterday that the rebels had exhausted 
 all their gun ammunition and were firing 
 stones and tent pegs for two days, when 
 they were suddenly stopped, and retired 
 out of range of Sir Henry's guns. No 
 one knows what they are at. I suppose 
 they are making preparations to meet us. 
 Nana Sahib has joined Nana Sing at 
 Lucknow, and the Force that we drove 
 out of Cawnpore are about seventy miles 
 up the Agra road. 
 
 The rain is still falling very hard indeed, 
 and we shall have frightful work of it, I 
 fear, in the mud and rain. 
 
 Later, 
 We have made a move at last, and have 
 got down to the bank of the river, where 
 we are, men and all, in one house, with the 
 
44 With Havelock 
 
 whole of our baggage and horses in the 
 compound, so that you can fancy we are 
 not troubled with much extra dress. I 
 expect we shall cross the river to-morrow ; 
 64th, 84th, and 78th are over, and the 
 artillery are now crossing. We hear that 
 the enemy are making wondrous prepara- 
 tions for us in Oude, 16 miles off. There 
 are about 20,000 men in arms now in Oude, 
 but they appear to have no leaders, and I 
 do not think we shall have more than one 
 good fight. We have had a fine morning, 
 but the rain is creeping up again. 
 
 Camp in Oude, opposite Cawnpore, 
 
 July 25, 1857. 
 
 We crossed the river last night in a 
 
 pelting shower of rain, and marched up to 
 
 the General's position, which we reached 
 
 at dark. As a special favour we were 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 45 
 
 allowed to remain on the road ! ! ! Our 
 proper position in the line was knee deep 
 in water, and great was the difficulty Ste- 
 phenson had in keeping us out of it. 
 
 We were hurried up yesterday as the 
 General fancied he might be attacked, and 
 we accordingly bivouacked on the road. 
 Luckily it did not rain, and I found a man 
 of the 60th Rifles who is doing adjutant- 
 general's work who had a cold fowl ; he 
 gave me a leg, which, with the biscuit and 
 a ration of rum which each man had served 
 ouf to him in the dark, afforded me a 
 famous dinner. This morning we fell back 
 half a mile, and are now occupying two 
 little mud villages. I am with Dangerfield 
 and Bailey under a tree, and am quite 
 comfortable. Sir H. Bernard has died of 
 cholera at Delhi, which is still in the hands 
 of the rebels. 
 
 Road all clear now from Cawnpore to 
 
46 With Havelock 
 
 Benares. Colonel Wilson of the 64th 
 arrived by carriage dawk this morning. 
 
 I fancy Hamilton and Arthur have also 
 arrived in Cawnpore with the band and 
 colours and 30 men. I expect we shall 
 move but a short way to-morrow morning so 
 as to have a shorter march before our first 
 fight in Oude. 
 
 Bivouac at a village 5 miles from Oude 
 bank of the river, 
 
 26th July, 1857. 
 Another line to let you know I am well. 
 We are waiting here for our food, and 1 70 
 of our men who are not across the river, 
 Hamilton, Gosling and Arthur will be with 
 us to-night, I expect. The General says he 
 will march to-morrow, whether the men 
 and stores are up or not. The place we 
 ^.e now in is a little better than our last 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 47 
 
 bivouac. It rained, though, last night in 
 torrents. Our cavalry has just gone 
 ahead reconnoitring. The enemy, they 
 say, are in position about ten miles to our 
 front. Lots of reports flying about. I am 
 sorry to say that cholera has made its 
 appearance in the Force, and we have lost 
 a great many men, chiefly 64th and Ar- 
 tillery. We had a case or two last night, 
 none yet fatal. We certainly cannot afford 
 to lose a man at this juncture. 
 
 I write to you every day and send the 
 letters to the General's tent, then trust to 
 Providence. I hope you get them all, 
 though I can hardly fancy that you can, 
 as so many letters seem to miscarry owing 
 to the continued disturbance in Central 
 India. 
 
 General Neill has just captured in a 
 village near Cawnpore the subada-major 
 of the ist B.N. I., one of the greatest 
 
4 8 With Have lock 
 
 scoundrels loose. He intends making him 
 clean a portion of the house where all the 
 unfortunate women were killed, and then 
 will hang him at the door — that's the way 
 to treat these men. 
 
 I saw in the AthencBiim of the 9th, 
 Colonel Cotton's noble offer of 1000 rupees 
 to head a subscription for relief of sufferers, 
 and I think it does him credit. I wish 
 someone would get up a subscription for 
 officers who have lost all their kits and 
 horses, etc. I am reduced to three flannel 
 shirts, three socks, three handkerchiefs 
 and one shell jacket ; two pair of trousers, 
 two pair of shoes, two blankets and a 
 waterproof cover. Where the rest of my 
 property is no one knows. It is scattered 
 about impartially all over Bengal. 
 
 Dale and Chisholm are in Cawnpore. 
 They arrived yesterday, and Graeme and 
 Hornsby are in Allahabad. The 5th 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 49 
 
 Fusiliers and 90th have, they say, both 
 left Calcutta for Cawnpore. I wish they 
 were here. 
 
 The women in Palaveram all seem to be 
 in a great state of alarm, judging from the 
 letters their husbands get. I hope the 
 Government are taking care of them and 
 looking after them. All the wives of the 
 64th and 78th get free rations and beer at 
 Bombay, as long as their regiments are 
 away. 
 
 We are all in a great state of delight at 
 the prospect of seeing Gosling and Hamil- 
 ton joining us to-day in white trousers and 
 gorgeous array. If you could only see us, 
 you would stare with wonder at our state 
 of dirt and dishevelment. Flannel shirts, 
 jack boots, and enormous turbans will make 
 Gosling open his eyes with horror. One con- 
 solation is, that he must lapse into the same 
 state after one night's rain. Now good-bye.

 ' Did I tell you what that miscreant Nana 
 Sahib said to his army after the battle of 
 Oonao? '* Kill all the men in dirty shirts and 
 blue caps, they kill all my men before they 
 fire." I am very glad we made such an 
 impression on him. We wounded his^ 
 brother at Futtipore, and he died four 
 days after. 
 
 Busharut Gunge, Oude, 
 
 ZOthJuly, 1857. 
 I could not write to you yesterday, as we 
 were literally fighting from morning till 
 night. We got under arms at four o'clock 
 in the morning, and marched at five ; 
 before six we were under fire, and by 9.30 
 we drove the enemy off the field, having 
 captured fifteen guns. They were as usual 
 very strong in numbers, and in a very 
 good position. They fought much better 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 51 
 
 than the sepoys on the other side of the 
 river. 
 
 Poor Richardson was killed, and Seton 
 very badly wounded. I fear the casualty 
 roll of the Force must be very heavy. We 
 marched at two o'clock, and found our 
 friends in a very strong village with five 
 guns, with which they fought right well. 
 We lost a great many in wounded here, 
 and it was past seven o'clock when we got 
 through the village, and bivouacked on 
 the Lucknow side of it. The name of the 
 place where we had our first battle is 
 Oonao, the second took place at Busharut 
 Gunge where we are now. I suppose we 
 shall advance this afternoon. The heat 
 yesterday was fearful. I was exposed to 
 the sun the whole day, and I feel as if all 
 my bones were dried up. My hand is so 
 stiff I can hardly write. I forgot to tell 
 you we took four or five guns here, so we 
 
 E 2 / 
 
 / 
 
52 With Havelock 
 
 have taken nearly one third of the enemy's 
 guns already. 
 
 The General says that he intends 
 making ''A splendid" report of the 
 regiment for the way in which we skir- 
 mished in the morning and evening. Very 
 gratifying, but we all begin to wish that a 
 small share of the work might be given the 
 64th and 84th. The 78th and ourselves 
 had it all our own way as usual yesterday, 
 and the fatigue of four or five hours, 
 skirmishing knee deep in mud and water 
 with a Bengal July sun overhead is not 
 small. The enemy's cavalry as usual did 
 nothing. They seem regular hounds. I 
 had several narrow escapes yesterday, but 
 by God's mercy was spared all harm. We 
 shall in all probability have one fight to- 
 morrow or to-night, and an awful scrim- 
 mage at Lucknow, of course, and then I 
 hope we may return to Cawnpore. 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 53 
 
 We have lost 200 men since we have been 
 in Bengal, and we can only muster about 
 200 men in the field at Head Quarters. 
 
 The rest are all sick and scattered. 
 Of course we have more men in camp, but 
 we certainly only go into action 200 strong. 
 
 I think it very possible that this letter 
 may not reach you, as the road can hardly 
 be as open from here to Cawnpore as it is 
 below. 
 
 Camp, seven miles from Cawnpore, 
 
 July :i^ist, 
 A hurried line to tell you that we have 
 fallen back about ten miles to this place, 
 name (to me) unknown, and here, from the 
 preparations, we seem likely to stop. No 
 one knows the reason, but it is pretty 
 generally supposed that our Force is 
 totally unfit to advance. We lost killed 
 
54 With Have lock 
 
 and wounded on the 29th, between seventy 
 and eighty men. I think it probable that we 
 are awaiting reinforcements. I fancy we 
 shall be off again before long, as troops 
 must be coming up. 
 
 Camp, seven miles from Ganges, Oude, 
 August ist, 1857. 
 
 I wrote you a very short letter yester- 
 day, and put off writing until I was nearly 
 too late altogether for the post. I had 
 not very much to tell you, as it was a very 
 uneventful day, not a shot fired from 
 morning till night. What to-day may 
 bring forth I know not, but we cannot 
 expect to remain here very long without 
 being attacked. From the various pre- 
 parations being made I think it very 
 possible that the General intends remain- 
 \\ng here in position several days. May-

 cock, of H.M. 53rd, who is one of our 
 D.A. quarter-master generals of the force, 
 told us this morning that he believed that 
 we were to wait here for reinforcements. 
 Where they are to come from (within a 
 fortnight) I cannot conceive, and by that 
 time we shall be hemmed in here, as they 
 are at Lucknow. They will not of course 
 do us very much damage, but it is very 
 disagreeable being penned up like sheep. 
 We have pickets out all round our position 
 of course, and these will give us timely 
 warning of any advance in force. 
 
 Grant, Dangerfield, Arnold, self and 
 Bailey are all in a native mud hut. You 
 never saw such a queer little hole in your 
 life. If it was not for the heat and 
 myriads of flies, we should h^ almost com- 
 fortable. All the men are either in huts of 
 the same kind, or living under bowers made 
 of branches of trees, and under trees which

 are thick enough to keep out the sun. 
 Hamilton has collapsed from the exposure 
 to heat and night air, and is laid up with 
 fever and pains in his bones. I was much 
 the same yesterday, but am better to-day. 
 The Major and Frazer both far from well, 
 and indeed all ailing more or less. The 
 General is very much pleased with the 
 Regiment, and told the Major yesterday, 
 that, ** Often as he had cause to be pleased 
 with us, he was astonished at the energy 
 and daring displayed by the blue caps on 
 the 29th, and that although he had al- 
 ready had the pleasure of bringing the 
 Regiment to the notice of the G.G., he 
 now intended making a special report of 
 the service rendered by the Regiment on 
 that day." The adjutants of the 84th were 
 both badly wounded on the 29th, and I 
 fear that several officers who have been 
 wounded are very badly so. I think it is 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 57 
 
 the General's intention to send all the 
 wounded and sick into Cawnpore to- 
 night. I am sure I hope they may be 
 sent, as they are far from being comfort- 
 able here, poor fellows. 
 
 I have just read Major Stephenson's 
 dispatch to the adjutant-general, and am 
 happy to say that he has mentioned my 
 name with Grant and Fraser, and Arnold. 
 It was our luck to be with the skirmishers 
 in the morning, and Dangerfield and Har- 
 good had them in the evening. 
 
 I was with the left support in the even- 
 ing, and with Major Stephenson and 
 Captain Grant got peppered very fairly 
 from the loop-holed houses that covered 
 the enemy's guns and entrance to the 
 village of Busharut Gunge. 
 
 3 p.m. We are still quite quiet, but 
 cannot expect to be so much longer. 
 Cawnpore quiet, but hourly expect to be 
 
58 With Havelock 
 
 attacked by the Gwalior and Futtehghar 
 rebels who are making preparations for 
 moving on the place. Seton still doing 
 well, but very much disfigured, poor boy. 
 I hope you get all my wonderful letters. I 
 write every day nearly, under trees, and in 
 tents and all sorts of eccentric places. I am 
 writing this in front of our hut, with three 
 fellows smoking and talking outside all 
 round me, and I write away as snugly and 
 unconcerned as if I were in a gorgeous and 
 quiet library. As I write to my own Nell, 
 I feel my mind quite abstracted from all 
 other matters, and nothing under a heavy 
 gun would rouse me. 
 
 Camp seven miles from Ganges, Oude, 
 August 2nd, 1857. 
 Here we are still in our old place, 
 entrenching ourselves and making our- 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 59 
 
 selves as strong as we can to resist the 
 enemy, who are going to make us all into 
 curry directly. I am in great hopes that 
 they will attack us here, as they will most 
 certainly lose more men in the attempt 
 than they ever have done yet. From the 
 preparations being made here, I think it 
 likely that we shall stop for some time in 
 this charming spot. 
 
 To-day, Sunday, we were to have paraded 
 for Divine Service at 5.30 a.m., instead 
 of which the enemy's cavalry disturbed 
 one of our cavalry pickets last night, and 
 we turned out at one o'clock and laid 
 down under arms till daylight. My poor 
 bones feel as sore as ever again from ex- 
 posure. I had no blanket, cloak, or any- 
 thing. I was rather better yesterday, 
 having slept in a mud hut that I told you 
 of. 
 
6o With Havelock 
 
 Camp Mungulwar, Oude, 
 '^rd August^ 1857. 
 
 We still remain at this village, and 
 have not yet been attacked from any 
 quarter. 
 
 We are still in the dark about the 
 General's intentions. Everybody is fright- 
 fully disgusted at his conduct ; but he 
 doubtless is acting on the best information, 
 and has very good reasons for his apparent 
 want of energy. News came into camp 
 this morning from Delhi. What it is no 
 one knows. The General only deigns to 
 say " It is good," which I suppose means 
 that we have not been actually yet obliged 
 to raise the siege. I wonder when they 
 will storm the place ; nearly two months 
 have now elapsed since the siege com- 
 menced. 
 
 I see by the Madras papers that a sub- 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 6i 
 
 scription has been undertaken for the 
 rehef of the families of the regiment. 
 Poor creatures ! I am sure they will need 
 it. We have now lost hard on 200 men, 
 and many of them were married. 
 
 We are now blessed with wonderfully 
 fine weather, which is a great mercy. I 
 fear we should suffer fearfully if it was to 
 rain. We bury a man every day as 
 it is. How thankful we shall all be to get 
 back to Madras ; the work is awful for all 
 ranks — nothing but utter misery and dis- 
 comfort for the men. I dare not hope to 
 be relieved until we are reduced to the very 
 lowest ebb, and then I suppose the few of 
 us that remain will bring the colours of 
 the regiment back to its Presidency. I 
 hear the 60th Rifles are to go to Madras, 
 which will lessen our chance of return not 
 a little. However, it can't be helped. I 
 hope I may get back some day. 
 
62 With Havelock 
 
 Camp as before, August \th^ 1857. 
 I shall write from the place we have 
 fallen back on, but hear orders have been 
 issued for us to hold ourselves in readiness 
 to march to-morrow morning. Three guns, 
 a few artillerymen, and sixty of the 84th 
 came into camp this morning. I suppose 
 that this is the detachment for which we 
 have been detained. The news from 
 Delhi that arrived yesterday has not leaked 
 out. I fancy it was nothing very wonder- 
 ful after all. 
 
 August 6tky 1857. 
 I was stopped the day before yesterday 
 by the bugles sounding the assembly. We 
 had to march to meet the enemy at Bus- 
 harut Gunge, from which place we had 
 driven him on the 29th. We slept at our 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 6^ 
 
 arms at a place about four miles from 
 the enemy^s position, and yesterday morn- 
 ing went at him and gave him the best 
 licking he has had yet, but we could not 
 take his guns. They were all horsed. 
 The enemy was so numerous that we were 
 twice completely surrounded, and our rear 
 guard threatened, so we had again to beat 
 a retreat to our old position. 
 
 The General yesterday divided his force 
 into three divisions : and we found our- 
 selves taken from the Highlanders and 
 brigaded with the 64th. We were the 
 rear division, but at last we got an order to 
 move to the right flank, and cover three 
 guns that had been sent round to harass 
 the enemy as they crossed the bridge on 
 the other side of the town. 
 
 We lined the edge of the water and kept 
 up a jolly fire for a long time, wondering 
 when the bridge was to be taken. At last 
 
64 With Havelock 
 
 we heard a cheer, and the 84th dashed 
 over it with four guns, but they did not 
 seem to get any further, and the bridge 
 being now crowded with guns and limbers, 
 etc., the enemy opened from the front. 
 
 Then was the cry, *' Where are the 
 Fusiliers ? " and away we went some dis- 
 tance back to get on to the road, and 
 threaded our way through the mass which 
 choked the bridge, and supported by the 
 Highlanders, cleared the village in a crack. 
 As we were forming on the other side 
 ready to make a rush, Havelock said, 
 ** Hurrah ! blue bonnets, that's right, show 
 'em the way,*' and we did show them the 
 way in style. 
 
 But the day's work was awful, three 
 hours' fighting and twenty miles march. 
 We got back at about 8.30 p.m., and 
 horror! I found I was for an outlying 
 picket. I got some food at 10 p.m., and 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 65 
 
 rolled in a cloak had a jolly sleep. I 
 write this from the picket, from which I 
 shall not be relieved till 5.30 this even- 
 i ng. Pleasant ! but unavoidable. There 
 was a report last night that we were to 
 recross the river and await the arrival of a 
 larger force, but staff officers have been 
 all round the place this morning looking 
 for positions for guns, so I fancy we are 
 going to remain here. 
 
 We hear that the rebels have raised the 
 siege of Lucknow, and are coming down 
 to exchange compliments with us by way of 
 a change. It is impossible to say what 
 they really intend doing. I have no doubt 
 we must have done the garrison at Lucknow 
 a deal of good by drawing off men and 
 guns from around them, and I trust that 
 they have been enabled to procure more 
 provisions ; as long as they have food, 
 they can hold out for ever. Would that 
 
 F 
 
66 With Have lock 
 
 all this were over. I am truly tired of this 
 constant marching and countermarching 
 without even tents. We went into action 
 yesterday morning in one of the heaviest 
 downpours of rain I ever remember, and 
 then were baked on an open plain for the 
 rest of the day. Poor old Fusiliers ! I wish 
 some of the good folks could see how cheer- 
 fully and nobly the *'old lambs'* bear up 
 against all kinds of fatigue and privations. 
 
 Camp Mungulwar, Oude. 
 
 »jth August^ 1857. 
 We now hear that we are to return to 
 Cawnpore for certain. It will take some 
 time getting the commissariat across the 
 river again, and then we shall have to 
 embark with the guns, etc. I suppose it 
 will take at least a week before we are all 
 across. We had an alarm last night and 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 67 
 
 were turned out. A few of the enemy's 
 cavalry and infantry came down upon the 
 picket, from which I had just been relieved 
 by Arnold. They all retired on the sentry 
 firing on them. 
 
 It is very wet to-day, and we all have to 
 sit crowded in our little hut, and from the 
 heat and flies are all half mad. 
 
 Mungulwar, Oude, August Zth^ 1857. 
 I have not much to tell you to-day, but 
 as usual thankfully greet the chance of 
 being able to write to you. I actually 
 spent a cheerful evening yesterday. We 
 had a wonderful stew made of mutton and 
 potatoes ! ! ! and we got some beer from 
 Cawnpore ! ! and we all nearly got happy, 
 and as we were not turned out during the 
 night, we paraded at reveille this morning 
 in lighter states of mind than usual. 
 
 F 2 
 
68 With Have lock 
 
 It rained yesterday incessantly, but to- 
 day we have a lovely sky, and so we are 
 drying all our blankets and clothes, ready 
 for a move in any direction. Out of our 
 small force we have forty in hospital, but 
 I am happy to say only one or two serious 
 cases. Report says this morning that we 
 are again to advance ; no one knows the 
 General's intentions. I think that he is 
 very wise in keeping his own counsel, at 
 the same time it is very disagreeable living 
 in this nasty hole in a state of uncertainty 
 as to our future movements. 
 
 You will have heard ere this of the 
 mutiny at Dinapore, and the fearful 
 massacre of 150 men and five officers of the 
 loth N.I.,and 37th N.I. at Arrah. It is 
 supposed that those who escaped from the 
 trap into which they were led, have been 
 by this time starved or cut to pieces. They 
 consisted of another hundred gallant men. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 69 
 
 Fearful times these ! I am most thankful 
 to think that you have all hitherto been 
 spared any of these horrors in Madras. 
 
 The inhabitants of Calcutta are all in a 
 fearful state of terror, and all the troops 
 that ought to be with us are detained to 
 take care of the Calcutta folk, who, I should 
 think, with the assistance of the thousands 
 of sailors who are procurable at a minute's 
 notice from the shipping in the Hooghly, 
 ought to be well enough able to take 
 care of themselves. 
 
 Camp, gtk August ^ 1857. 
 I find that, after all, the chances are in 
 favour of our returning to Cawnpore. I 
 know that the Engineers were employed at 
 the Ghat yesterday morning making a fly- 
 ing bridge, and that boats were employed 
 all day passing bullocks, commissariat, 
 
JO With Havelock 
 
 stores, etc., and carts over to the entrenched 
 camp. I beheve that very good news has 
 been received from Lucknow, to the effect 
 that they have lots of provisions, ammu- 
 nition, etc., and feel themselves secure. 
 
 We must have drawn off a very large 
 portion of the enemy in our direction, and 
 as the Ghoorkas must have entered Oude 
 by this time, I have no doubt that they are 
 enjoying a few days' quiet and are able to 
 refit and lay in fresh supplies. 
 
 The steamer went up the river yesterday 
 to disperse the 42nd B.N.I. Regiment, 
 which has halted a few miles above Bithoor 
 on the bank of the river, and round whom 
 a large number of Budmashes are collect- 
 ing. We also hear that a large rabble are 
 gathering about twenty miles from Cawn- 
 pore, on the Agra Road, with six guns of 
 sorts ; so we shall have some work to do if 
 we do recross the river. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 71 
 
 I hear that a terrible revenge has been 
 taken on the mutineers at Arrah, for the 
 slaughter that I told you of yesterday. 
 
 I am getting quite dissipated ! I dined 
 yesterday with the Artillery for the purpose 
 of eating pancakes, and I dine with the 
 Highlanders to-night; so you see we are 
 keeping up our spirits, though we are in 
 Oude and the enemy in our front. 
 
 We have, I deeply regret to say, just lost 
 our sergeant-major from cholera, a man 
 whose loss to the regiment is irreparable. 
 He leaves a wife and three children at 
 Palaveram. Do you think you could 
 manage to see her and speak a few words 
 of consolation to the poor woman ? The 
 whole regiment attend his funeral this after- 
 noon. Our last date from Madras is the 
 25th, and I see that folk are subscribing 
 very handsomely for the bereaved families 
 of the Fusiliers.

 August lotky 1857, ^p.m, 
 
 I fear that this letter will not be in time 
 for to-day's dawk, but I have been in a state 
 of preparation for moving since 7 p.m. 
 yesterday. 
 
 Last night I went to dine with the 
 Highlanders* Just as I sat down to 
 dinner an orderly came to inform me that 
 my company was to march immediately. 
 Part of 300 men and two guns that were to 
 go off on a secret expedition with one day s 
 food. I swallowed my dinner and rushed 
 home, packed up my bed, and anxiously 
 waited for the order to move. At nine we 
 were told that the movement was postponed 
 until further orders. At nine this morning 
 I was informed that I was on duty, and 
 that the whole force was to move some- 
 where at 10 a.m. I was to remain behind 
 
From Allahabad to Litcknow, J2> 
 
 with twenty men and thirty-five sick, the 
 whole of the bedding and ammunition. 
 
 Willis of the 84th (now commanding that 
 corps), as field officer of the day, w^as sent 
 for by the General, and told that after the 
 departure of the force he was responsible 
 for the position and baggage. He had the 
 guards and pickets, about 200 men, and 
 six guns. We made our arrangements 
 accordingly, and at 10 a.m. the army fell 
 in and remained under arms until 12, when 
 orders came down that the expedition was 
 postponed until further orders. At 4 p.m. I 
 was again informed that I was to be pre- 
 pared to move off at half an hour's notice 
 with [oo of our men, and 100 of the 84th 
 to go with us. Where we are to go to, 
 no one knows. I have unpacked my bed, 
 and write you this line on the chance of 
 catching the dawk.

 As we were going to bed last night, 
 an order came that we were to be ready to 
 march this morning to the front with one 
 day s rations. However, we turned out 
 at reveille as usual, and the General 
 sounded the retreat, or rather the disperse, 
 a few minutes after sunrise. He had again 
 changed his mind. I hear that the heavy 
 guns leave for the river at 8 p.m. in order 
 that they may reach the Ghat by moonrise, 
 and that the rest of us are to move off at 
 midnight. If he gets us all across safely 
 he will be wonderfully lucky. Report also 
 says we are to go to Agra. I don't exactly 
 see how we can possibly manage that. We 
 have forty sick on this side of the river 
 alone. How they are to be got down is a 
 mystery. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknozv, 75 
 
 The rebels are awfully in want of caps 
 for their muskets. They say they have 
 taken the nipples off many of their pieces 
 and fire them like matchlocks with a slow 
 match. Caps sell in Delhi for anything, 
 owing to the dawk being cut off at Sasseram. 
 We got no Calcutta news yesterday j Neill 
 had a copy despatch from Delhi ** doing 
 well ; '* only 2000 Europeans left in camp 
 though, cholera has thinned their ranks 
 fearfully. 
 
 I don't think I told you that Dale went 
 up the river two or three days ago with 
 fifty men and some guns, and had a fight 
 with 42nd B.N.I. He had three of his 
 men w^ounded, and they returned the day 
 before yesterday. I do not know what 
 damage he did to the enemy. I do not 
 think that you will hear from me again 
 from this side of the river, at least I hope 
 not. God grant that I may reach Cawnpore 
 
76 Wifh Havelock 
 
 safely, and that I may be able to give you 
 good news from there. 
 
 Entrenched Camp, Cawnpore. 
 iZth August^ 1857. 
 I have been unable to write to you for 
 several days for the following reasons. 
 The General made us send everything we 
 had across the river, and at 10 a.m. on the 
 nth he sent staff officers all over the place 
 to see that nothing was left. Having satis- 
 fied himself that not a box of lucifers was 
 in camp, he immediately ordered the 
 column to advance. We marched that 
 afternoon seven miles, and bivouacked in a 
 plain. I had a cloak, luckily — few men had 
 that. It rained too in the night. Next 
 morning we fought another battle and took 
 two guns and lots of horses. Grant was 
 wounded slightly in the leg. That night 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 77 
 
 we returned to our old position, and next 
 morning we went down to the river. Our 
 regiment and the pickets of the night 
 before, with four guns, composed the embar- 
 kation crossers, and we were lying in the 
 sand without a rag or mat over us till two 
 o'clock p.m. We were then allowed to 
 move into some huts near the Ghat, and 
 we eventually got into some houses in 
 Cawnpore at nine p.m. You may fancy 
 the luxury of a hasty toilet and a night's 
 rest. I was too tired to eat, and next 
 morning I found I had fever, and I have 
 been laid up ever since, but am very much 
 better to-day. The force went to Bithoor 
 yesterday to turn out the 42nd B.N. I., the 
 2nd Cavalry, and some Oude Regiment 
 that has occupied the place. Fusiliers had 
 seven killed and five wounded ; 78th 
 thirteen wounded, and one officer. It was 
 a sharp affair. 
 
78 With Havelock 
 
 Cawnpore, August igtk^ 1857. 
 
 Our little force wonderfully reduced. 
 The last battle at Bithoor was fought by 
 less than 600 Europeans, though four 
 regiments were in the field. Poor 
 Chisholm died last night of cholera, he 
 was taken ill on picket. Campbell of the 
 Highlanders died the night before. 
 
 I am very much better to-day, no fever, 
 and shall report well to-morrow. 
 
 The other bank of the river swarms with 
 the enemy, who are up to some mischief or 
 other, we can't make out what. The 
 steamer and 100 men under Arnold went 
 twenty miles down the river this morning to 
 put a stop to the proceedings at a town in 
 that direction. They are trying to cross, 
 and as we have a large force, and guns 
 on the Agra Road, and the 42nd B.N. I., 
 and others near Bithoor, 3000 men at 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 79 
 
 Sharazpore with guns, and some 8000 of 
 Scindiah's troops to keep in check until 
 the Governor-General vouchsafes to send 
 a few men to our aid, we had rather the 
 Oude men kept on their own side of the 
 river. One of the Madras regiments is to 
 go to Benares, and the other to Dina- 
 pore. 
 
 I don't know what other troops have 
 arrived in Calcutta. 
 
 There seems to be great excitement at 
 home about the mutiny, but people know 
 nothing of it yet ; every mail carries home 
 new horrors, and when the Cawnpore 
 massacre becomes known I don't know 
 what people will do. 
 
 Fifty thousand rupees has been offered 
 now for Nana Sahib. We caught his wife 
 and mother-in-law the other day, but they 
 are of no use. I suppose he will be caught 
 some day, and I hope Neill may have the 
 
8o Wilk Havel jck 
 
 chance of punishing him. He has devised 
 a punishment for him, I know. 
 
 We have a fearful number in hospital, 
 and seventy men, who are too much 
 exhausted to do anything, live in the 
 theatre with a surgeon to look after them. 
 They are called '* the invalids," but the 
 whole force might be classed in the same 
 category. Such a lot of woe-begone 
 ragged, bearded ruffians you never saw ! 
 Gosling is laid up with fever now. Please 
 God some of us will live through it all. 
 Many can't expect it among the men, for 
 they are really disappearing at a frightful 
 rate. 
 
 Cawnpore, August 20th, 1857. 
 I write my daily letter as usual, but have 
 not much to tell you. General Outram is 
 appointed to command here, and we hope 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 8i 
 
 to see him as soon as he has got Dinapore 
 in order. There is a report to-day that 
 600 men are coming up from Allahabad, 
 but I fear that the news is too good to be 
 true. The dawk comes in now regularly 
 again, so I suppose the mutineers at Arrah 
 have been dispersed, and the Grand Trunk 
 Road cleared of them for the present. 
 
 The camp which has been entrenched 
 near the river, where all the sick live, and 
 all our food and ammunition is stored, is to 
 be abandoned, and a new position taken up. 
 The reason is, that we expect the enemy 
 will shortly commence to fire into it from 
 the other bank of the river. I move from 
 it to-night, and go to our own camp, being 
 reported well. I hear that we have 370 
 men in the field hospital this morning, so 
 I fancy that the men are improving a little 
 in health. It is, however, a fearful number ! 
 No news from the north, and we are pretty 
 
 G 
 
82 With Have lock 
 
 quiet this morning as yet. The steamer 
 has not returned from her trip down the 
 river, 
 
 Allahabad is to be garrisoned by a naval 
 Brigade of 300 blue-jackets, under the cele- 
 brated Captain Peel, who commanded the 
 Naval Brigade in the Crimea. 
 
 Cawnpore, August 21st ^ 1857. 
 A very hurried line to-day. I am very 
 busy. I moved into the camp last night 
 from the sick tents, and found them pitched 
 in a delightful swamp, and all at an early 
 dinner which my sort rejected. I am now 
 acting adjutant, and have my hands full 
 of work of all sorts and kinds. I have 
 only just got a moment to write this line 
 to you, as I don't like to let a day go with- 
 out writing a scrap. No news of any kind 
 from north or south: We stop here at all 
 
From A Llahabad to L uckno w, ^2> 
 
 events for some days, and the men are 
 living in the old Cavalry stables ! ! ! Poor 
 Raikes has had cholera, but is better. 
 
 Cawnpore, August 22nd, 1857. 
 I moved this morning from our tent down 
 to a corner of the Cavalry stables, where 
 with Hamilton I am located in one of the 
 most decided smells I have ever experi- 
 enced. Captain Maycock (one of the 
 numerous DepI Ass. Q.M.G.'s attached to 
 our Force) was here just now, and con- 
 gratulated me on being so comfortable, 
 and also said that we had cleaned out our 
 stable better than any other Regiment. 
 What a jolly state they must be in ! Two 
 officers died last night : Grant, of our 3rd 
 Europeans, who was adjutant of the Volun- 
 teer Cavalry, and an officer named Brown, 
 
 G 2 
 
84 With Havelock 
 
 who had escaped the massacre at this 
 station. Three men of the 84th and two 
 of the 64th also died. I am happy to say 
 none of ours taken ill, and Tom Raikes is 
 much better to-day. Frazer and Grant 
 still seedy. Grant's wound is going on 
 very well, and Seton's too. Gosling hopes 
 to be able to go out of camp to-morrow. 
 All the sick and wounded are to be sent to 
 Allahabad as soon as arrangements can be 
 made for sending so large a number of 
 men. We had a highly complimentary 
 order from Sir Colin Campbell last night 
 by electric telegraph, which is now open 
 from here to Calcutta. 
 
 We have very nasty weather, and a cold 
 chilly wind blows all day and night. No 
 news of our moving anywhere, and until 
 strong detachments come up I expect we 
 shall remain where we are. 
 
 The 90th are moving up, they say, and 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 85 
 
 on their arrival I suppose we shall be able 
 to do something. 
 
 Cawnpore, August 2^th, 1857. 
 
 I had so much to do yesterday that I 
 had no time to write my usual letter ; but I 
 had no news to give you, so you did not 
 lose anything. 
 
 Two men of the 1 6th Irregular Cavalry 
 came in yesterday and laid down their 
 arms. I do not know what Havelock 
 intends doing with them, but I fancy they 
 will be hanged. Poor Kenny of the 84th 
 died this morning. 
 
 The steamer returned yesterday. All 
 well. They were fired at several times, but 
 no harm was done to anybody. A party 
 of men are marching up from Allahabad, 
 and we send away all our invalids to that 
 place to-morrow by land. We are trying 
 
86 Wtih Havelock 
 
 to get up some sports for the men, to dis- 
 tract their minds from hospitals, and 
 doctors, etc. The band of the 84th have 
 commenced playing, and ours practised 
 this morning for the first time, so we are 
 getting quite lively. 
 
 I had nearly 300 men for duty this 
 morning, more than any other regiment in 
 the Force. Tom Raikes is very much 
 better, and I think is now quite out of 
 danger; he had a narrow escape. Our 
 men are rapidly getting better, and are 
 daily improving on good rations and rest, 
 luxuries they were getting strangers to 
 altogether. 
 
 Breeks has sent up a very large present 
 of Trichinopoly cigars for the use of the 
 regiment ; a most handsome present, and 
 one which is highly appreciated by the 
 men, who feel very deeply a kindness of 
 the sort. 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 87 
 
 General Sir Patrick Grant has written a 
 most complimentary letter to Neill about 
 the ** Lambs '* on his departure from Cal- 
 cutta, and we SiVe prouder than ever. 
 
 I am writing this letter as hard as I can 
 scribble, as you may see. Harcourt writes 
 from Delhi, *' We are getting on famously, 
 if you don't look sharp we shall have de- 
 stroyed the place before you come up." 
 
 I must now stop and go on with orderly 
 room work. 
 
 Cawnpore, August 27/^, 1857. 
 I have not written to you for the last 
 two days, I literally have not had five 
 minutes to myself. I have lots of news for 
 you to-day, but you must not believe all 
 you hear about anything, even when written 
 by mCy as every report is improved on in 
 camp. They say that General Outram, 
 
88 With Havelock 
 
 instead of coming here, intends going 
 to Lucknow, via Faizabad, with the 90th, 
 5th, and Ghoorkas ; that 300 of the 50th 
 have arrived in Allahabad, and the re- 
 mainder, General Outram and 90th, were 
 hourly expected, all en route for Cawn- 
 pore. 
 
 Two hundred of the 78th and fifty of our 
 men are really coming up from Allahabad, 
 and I believe Harris, Graeme, Hornsby, 
 Woods, " The Shepherd " and Duncan 
 will come with them. We also expect 
 Down and Parry very shortly, and we 
 shall then have almost as many officers 
 as men ! almost, I also hear that Delhi 
 was to be stormed yesterday ; that I don't 
 believe, as no general would give out to the 
 public the time he intended storming a 
 place. 
 
 The news from Lucknow is very good. 
 They got lots of food in at the time the 
 
From A llakabad to L ucknow. 8 9 
 
 mutineers left them to attack us, arid the 
 only thing they want is tea and sugar 
 for the poor women there, and these 
 things cannot be procured. Everything else 
 there seems to be really in very good plight. 
 
 The enemy are pushing lots of batteries 
 all up the road from here to Lucknow, so 
 we shall have to take a gun or two more 
 before we get there. 
 
 The dress and silver salver I have still 
 got by me. I do not like asking any- 
 one to take them, as it is so very difficult 
 to carry any personal property about. I 
 wrote to Rean and asked him to do so, 
 and afterwards felt ashamed of myself, 
 so now I intend to send the dress by 
 dawk as soon as I get some wax cloth, 
 which I hope to do in a day or two. 
 Grant's wound is getting on well, and I 
 hope he will be able to return to duty in a 
 day or two. Seton goes to Allahabad 
 
90 With Havelock 
 
 with the rest of the sick and wounded 
 to-night. Fraser only had a contused 
 wound, and never suffered an hour 
 from it — much the same with Gosling's 
 scratch. Our men, I think, still pick 
 up in health and well-being. But 
 all the officers seem to be complaining 
 more or less, and I really think that, by 
 God's blessing, I am the most healthy 
 officer of the Fusiliers in camp. I am per- 
 petually trotting about from place to place, 
 from morning till night. I fancy I have 
 answered or acknowledged, half a hundred 
 orders and chits from various folks since I 
 began this letter. The whole of the army 
 (officers) dine with the cavalry to-morrow 
 night. We shall sit down upwards of a 
 hundred at dinner. I must now stop, as I 
 have to go to the adjutant-general's office 
 to write orders. 
 
From Allahabad to Lticknow, 91 
 
 Cawnpore, August 2Pth^ 1857. 
 
 I was so idle and sleepy yesterday after 
 the grand dinner at the cavalry mess, that 
 I was yawning about all day over my work, 
 and neglected to write my usual letter. 
 
 I must now tell you of this marvellous 
 entertainment. Nearly ninety officers sat 
 down to dinner in a large empty stable, 
 and as every officer brought his own plates 
 and tumblers, etc., and no two dishes or 
 candlesticks on the table were of the same 
 pattern, the effect was highly pleasing and 
 original. They gave us, however, a capital 
 dinner, and we made ourselves as jolly as 
 possible — lots of speeches and songs, which 
 all came off with more or less success. I 
 absolutely sang ! but not until Finlay of 
 the 78th administered a bowl of whiskey 
 punch, manufactured in a highly scientific 
 and successful manner, and which we dis- 
 
92 With Hav slock 
 
 cussed with great gusto out of a jelly glass. 
 I left at one o'clock, but some thirty or 
 forty remained much later, and I rather 
 think some must be there still. However, 
 I was very sleepy when I got up and in- 
 spected the regiment at 4.30, and went 
 to sleep after parade with infinite satis- 
 faction, and so remained till 9 a.m. 
 
 We hear that Sir James Outram with 
 1500 men may be expected in about a 
 fortnight. Two hundred men came in this 
 morning from Allahabad, and we expect 
 another party to-morrow. 
 
 We still have nothing but rain, and the 
 ground is in an indescribable state of mud. 
 In three weeks we shall have the cold 
 weather, which we are all looking forward 
 to in the fond expectation of getting strong 
 and well again. We expect to start on or 
 about the xoth of next month ; this of 
 course depends on the arrival of the detach- 
 
 \ 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 93 
 
 ments and regiments now en route for us. 
 Raikes Is much better, and gone to stop 
 with Neill for a day or two. 
 
 Cawnpore, September ist, 1857. 
 Gosling reported well this morning, so I 
 had the most lively satisfaction of handing 
 over the adjutancy to him. I am now a 
 nobleman at large again. Barclay, ** our 
 gentle shepherd," arrived this morning with 
 fifty-six of our men from Allahabad. With 
 his party were eighty of the 78th, and fifty 
 of the 84th, so we have nearly replaced the 
 300 sick and wounded that we sent away 
 last week. Barclay is looking very well, 
 and gorgeous in array. Ah ! ah ! that 
 won't last long ! The men's sports began 
 last night, and they go on again to-day. 
 Everything went off well yesterday, and 
 
94 With Have lock 
 
 our men hold their own very well among 
 the other regiments in camp. 
 
 Cawnpore, ^rd September^ ^857. * 
 A very hurried line to-day, as I have 
 been on a committee all the morning about 
 kits and bedding that have been lost in the 
 field. 
 
 We hear to-day from England that 
 26,000 men leave for India, and two troops 
 of horse artillery with six batteries. They 
 will be a great thing. All quiet here, and 
 I think the rains are really beginning to 
 break up. Agra all well ; we get despatches 
 from there every day. 
 
 Several horse and pony races came off 
 last evening with great eclat, and we are to 
 have some more this evening. Our band 
 artd that of the 84th played last night, and 
 the 78th play to-night for the first time. 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 95 
 
 We actually had a lady at the races 
 last night. Poor woman ! She escaped 
 with her husband from Futtigharh, and 
 they have been concealed by a rajah in 
 Oude ever since ; her escape is something 
 miraculous — name Probyn, B.C.S. Other 
 people arrived from the same place, but I 
 have not heard what their names are, and 
 have not seen them. 
 
 Cawnpore, September yth^ 1857. 
 
 We had most excellent news last night, 
 both from Delhi and Lucknow. At the 
 former place General Nicholson's brigade 
 had engaged the Neemuch and Bareilly 
 mutineers, and had beaten them with great 
 slaughter, taking twelve guns from them. 
 
 At Lucknow garrison all well. The only 
 two heavy guns belonging to the enemy 
 dismounted, and they can neither fire nor 
 
96 With Have lock 
 
 move them. We also hear that the enemy 
 have only one other serviceable gun (a 
 24-lb. iron gun), and that we hope to have 
 the felicity of depriving them of next 
 week. It is also said that only 4000 
 regular sepoys are left in arms in Oude ; 
 they get no pay, and have consequently 
 dispersed and refuse to fight. 
 
 We expect to recross the river on 
 Friday ; but we shall not advance of course 
 for a few days, as Sir James Outram 
 cannot be here before the end of the week. 
 The heat to-day is something awful — no 
 a breath of air to be felt in house or tent. 
 
 Cawnpore, September Zth^ 1857. 
 We had no dawk in from Madras this 
 morning, and only got one newspaper 
 from Calcutta with nothing in it, so I can- 
 not give you much Bengal news. The 
 
From Allahabad to Luc know, 97 
 
 troops now between this and Allahabad 
 amount to 1490, and they say there are 
 sixty disbanded officers with Sir James 
 Outram. I suppose they will join the 
 cavalry ; and they will really be a most 
 valuable acquisition. They are chiefly 
 griffins and the officers of the Dinapore 
 mutineers. 
 
 Our sports did not come off last night, 
 but they are going to have a grand day 
 next Thursday instead. 
 
 It is now said that we shall not cross 
 the river on Friday, but that a portion of 
 the force will cross on Sunday next : others 
 say they know (on the highest authority of 
 course) that we leave on the 20th. 
 
 The enemy have again begun to work 
 at their batteries on the other side of the 
 river, and I hear had a regular parade this 
 morning with colours flying, and only three 
 regiments and about 400 each. 
 
 H 
 
gS With Havelock 
 
 Cawnpore, September loM, 1857. 
 
 I did not write to you yesterday as I 
 was on a committee all the day nearly, and 
 felt so tired when I got back to my stable 
 that I lay down and slept. I have not 
 heard any fresh news. The Hon. J. 
 Fraser, of the ist B.N. I., and a Mr. Bennett 
 of the same regiment, both joined our regi- 
 ment this morning: Fraser seems a nice 
 fellow. I do not yet know the other. 
 Their regiment was one in garrison at 
 Cawnpore. They were on detached duty 
 at Bandah, from where they have ap- 
 parently had a most miraculous escape. 
 Their regiment fought against us at Cawn- 
 pore, and we have just heard that they are 
 on the other side now, waiting for us with 
 two other Cawnpore regiments. 
 
 The first is commanded by a soubadar 
 who Fraser says always was a most 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 99 
 
 troublesome character and for many years 
 had shown a very discontented disposi- 
 tion. 
 
 I hope you still continue perfectly quiet 
 at Madras, and have not been alarmed by 
 any kind of disturbances. I feel so very 
 very anxious, being at such a distance, and 
 sometimes fancy all kinds of horrors. 
 
 I see by the papers that the 3rd Madras 
 Cavalry have volunteered to go to 
 Bengal ! ! ! I hope they will not come ! 
 It is now worse than madness to trust any 
 native. I feel more and more thankful 
 that my luck got me to a European regi- 
 ment. Officers here say nothing will 
 induce them to serve with natives again 
 under any circumstances : no w^onder, 
 after the awful treachery they have been 
 all guilty of. 
 
 There was a grand paper hunt this 
 morning, and I believe there w^as a very 
 H 2 
 
loo With Havelock 
 
 good meet, and they had a six mile 
 run. 
 
 The rest of the games for the men come 
 off to-morrow afternoon. 
 
 Cawnpore, September 13M, 1857. 
 
 We are making preparations for cross- 
 ing the river, and we fired upon the enemy 
 with our heavy guns this morning, and 
 sent them running in all directions. 100 
 of our men go over to reconnoitre to-night, 
 and I expect we shall be at Lucknow in less 
 than a fortnight. 
 
 I only hope we shall not be left in Oude 
 to garrison the different places there. If we 
 are really intended to be relieved, we ought 
 to be in Madras In January, but this I fear 
 is far too good to be true. I expect that 
 we shall not have so much fighting in 
 Cude this time as we had when we were 
 
From A llaha had to L ucknow, i o i 
 
 there last. The much larger force that we 
 take with us will keep them at a respectful 
 distance. A party of Outram's force 
 have destroyed a party of 300 Oude men 
 that crossed the river between this and 
 Allahabad. He also destroyed two guns 
 that they brought over with them. We 
 expect his column in here the day after 
 to-morrow, and by that time our bridge of 
 boats ought to be in position, ready for us to 
 cross, guns, commissariat, stores, etc., and 
 then we shall be really off. 
 
 I must now wmd up. To-morrow I 
 shall be able to let you know the result of 
 this evening s reconnaissance. 
 
 Cawnpore, September \\th^ 1857. 
 Our men embarked in the steamer at a 
 quarter to 3 p.m. yesterday, and steamed 
 to within fifty yards of the opposite bank 
 
I02 With Have lock 
 
 and there they struck on a sand-bank I 
 All the world went down to see them start. 
 And we all expected to see the enemy open 
 fire on the steamer directly after the stop- 
 page : but no, they kept at a very respect- 
 ful distance. They all turned out of their 
 camps and made a brave show, but they 
 had no fight in them. 
 
 I waited there till nearly dark, and as 
 Battine, an old schoolfellow of mine, was 
 coming to dine with me at our mess (two 
 miles off) I beat a retreat. Fraser and 
 Arnold came into the mess tent very tired ; 
 they had done nothing, and had l^ft 
 Beaumont with twenty men to guard the 
 steamer. Late last night an order came 
 for the same men to go down to the 
 steamer at 4.30 this morning. They went 
 down again, and the steamer being still 
 hard and fast, they crossed in boats and 
 destroyed one of the enemy's batteries, 
 and returned at twelve o'clock. 
 
From Allahabad 10 Lticknow, 103 
 
 I have just been down there, and have 
 seen Fraser, who says that they did not 
 see a soul, but that just as they had got 
 half way across the river on their return, 
 one matchlock man rushed down to the 
 water's edge, and fired wildly in the air. 
 The bridge of boats is all ready, and I 
 expect will be swung over the river to- 
 morrow morning. Outram, with the 5th 
 Fusiliers with Eyre's Battery and 100 
 Afghan horse, will be in to-morrow. We 
 send our band out to play the Fusiliers in. 
 The rest of the force will be here the day 
 after. We have now (thanks to Olpherts) 
 got one of our batteries horsed. I went out 
 to see them manoeuvre this morning, and I 
 must say they worked most admirably. 
 He has only had three weeks to get his 
 horses in order, and his harness made, and 
 they really looked very well indeed. We 
 had intelligence yesterday from Candahar, 
 Peshawur, Meerut, Delhi and Agra. From 
 
I04 With Have Lock 
 
 Candahar we learn that the Persians have 
 evacuated Herat, and from the other places 
 "All well.'' News from Bombay bad: 
 more than one corps have shown decided 
 symptoms of revolt. We are all well now. 
 The rain has ceased, and though the sun 
 is very hot, we find that is better than the 
 damp. 
 
 Cawnpore, September 15M, 1857. 
 The 5th Fusiliers, 400 men; 78th, 100; 
 84th, 15 ; 64th, 170, and a field battery of 
 Artillery came in this morning, and we 
 expect the 90th, some of the 5th, and a few 
 horse will be in to-morrow. We are to be 
 in two brigades. Ourselves, the 5th and 
 84th under General Neill, and the 78th and 
 90th and Sikhs under Colonel Hamilton- 
 We expect to be in Lucknow in seven days. 
 If the enemy do not fight better than they 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow, 105 
 
 did before, we ought to walk through them 
 very easily, and I make no doubt that we 
 shall do so. 
 
 The orders have just been published and 
 we parade to-morrow morning at 1.30 a.m. 
 and take rations ready cooked with us for 
 to-morrow. The Royal Artillery are 
 attached to our Brigade. I am very glad 
 of it. Maude and Maitland are both very 
 nice fellows. We have had no Madras mail 
 in, but I hope that I may get a letter from 
 you to-morrow before I start ; it will do 
 me good. I shall not have many oppor- 
 tunities of writing from Oude this time. 
 Outram says he wishes to get the affair 
 over as quickly as possible, so we shall not 
 be long away, and you will soon hear again 
 regularly. 
 
io6 With Have lock 
 
 Cawnpore, September I'jth, 1857. 
 
 At about IT o'clock p.m. on the night 
 of the 15th we were told that we had not 
 to march at 2 a.m., and were to stand fast 
 until further orders. This was the result 
 of Outram's arrival, who said he would not 
 have us exposed on the sandbanks on the 
 other side of the river, and ordered the 
 bridge of boats to be first attended to. 
 This is now being done, and I fancy will 
 be completed to-morrow morning. 
 
 We are now properly brigaded. Sikhs, 
 84th, 5th, and ourselves, Neill command- 
 ing ; Captain Gordon, A.D.C., Captain 
 Spurgin, Brigade Major, make ist Brigade. 
 90th, 78th, and regiment of Ferozpore, 
 Hamilton commanding, staff not yet 
 appointed, 2nd Brigade and Artillery 
 Brigade. 
 
 We all take our bands complete to make 
 
From Allahabad to Ltuknow, 107 
 
 as much noise as possible and show off at 
 Lucknow. We (Fusiliers) are taking up 
 lots of comforts for the ladies and children 
 in our mess, even sugar plums for the 
 children have not been rejected. 
 
 I have not yet seen General Outram, but 
 intend calling this evening if I have time. 
 
 The English mail came in the day before 
 yesterday. I got no letters, but am 
 charmed at the interest that all ranks at 
 home take in India and Indian affairs. 
 Disraeli's speech very fine. The Times 
 says that we may take any vengeance we 
 like on the rebel sepoys. Very kind, but 
 we intend doing so without the kind per- 
 mission of the Times, and hope to be in at 
 the death of a few of 'em before to-morrow 
 night. 
 
 The Sikhs are by this time across the 
 river. They left camp at eight this morning 
 to cover the bridge of boats, island, etc. 
 
io8 With Havelock 
 
 I daresay they will have a scrimmage 
 before the day is out. 
 
 Everybody is in high spirits and we hope 
 to be back in less than a fortnight, and 
 then we start for Agra and Delhi — which 
 last place is a second Sebastopol and will 
 give much trouble. 
 
 Cawnpore, September \Zthy 1857. 
 
 At about 12 o'clock midnight, the 
 Highland Brigade was ordered to the river 
 and away they went, and I believe are now 
 crossing. Maude has got some of his 
 guns over to the island, and every now and 
 again we hear him waking up his friends. 
 We expect to get the order to be off every 
 hour, and we are all packed and ready to 
 move at a minute's notice. 
 
 We hear the most wonderful stories here 
 
From Allahabad to Lucknow. 109 
 
 about the enemy. One is that two regi- 
 ments sent over to Havelock yesterday to 
 volunteer their services. Another that the 
 garrison of Lucknow are now marching to 
 Cawnpore under the protection of some 
 powerful Rajahs and Zemindars. A third, 
 that the mutineers turned their guns on 
 each other — in fact repeated the celebrated 
 Kilkenny Cat feat at Lucknow. Mean- 
 while we saw a reinforcement of 1500, and 
 three guns, Horse Artillery, arrive in the 
 enemy's camp yesterday. The guns we 
 hope to have to-morrow. The men we 
 shall in all probability dispose of otherwise. 
 
 I am writing this very early in the morn- 
 ing as we expect to be off at any moment. 
 
 We shall soon be back from Lucknow, 
 and then I hope that something will be 
 done to relieve us ; at the same time I 
 hardly expect it, as I know the 60th Rifles 
 are not to come from Madras to Calcutta, 
 
no With Have lock y &c. 
 
 and I see that our 2nd are still sending men 
 from Burmah. However, you may be sure 
 that everything will turn out for our good 
 eventually, so we must look forward with 
 brave hearts till happier days come.
