Captain A.E. Johnson – dangerously wounded on the 25th of September. Died of wounds.

“My poor friend, the brave Captain Johnson, 5th Fusiliers, is no more. He possessed all the elements that constitute a true soldier. Sincerely did I mourn as I followed him to his early grave ; though it is a melancholy consolation to me to reflect that I spared him a night’s exposure to the cruel foe, and had the privilege of seeking to mitigate his sufferings. I knew him from his boyhood. He held his first commission in the 60th, where he was the object of much regard. On many occasions he performed far more than what mere duty required, till at length, in the prime and flower of manhood, he died as became a soldier. He was, however, not only esteemed for his soldier-like qualities, but he was also beloved by aU who knew his genial nature.” (North)

Groom “With Havelock from Allahabad to Lucknow”) His last letter to his wife was dated the 18th of September, 1857 and ended with the lines

A few shots seemed to have the desired effect, and when a few of them fell the remainder thought it more prudent to retreat. Another officer, Johnson, of the 5th, died this day from his wounds.” (Danvers)

“Two men in the 90th, who would foolishly expose themselves, were shot close by me —one died instantly. I dined and breakfasted in one room, at about 5 o’clock, at my picket. I was dreadfully hungry,
having had nothing to eat all day, and hard work. We were very busy now in the trenches, countermining and mining the enemy, and the 5th provided their quota of working parties. The Sepoys and city people are capital miners, and if not carefully watched would do us an immensity of harm. In their last explosion they blew up two of our poor fellows, and buried them in the ruins, besides wounding others.” (Danvers)

“For the men in hospital, the ration issued was one of 8 ounces of fresh beef, 8 ounces of flour of a fine kind, 4 ounces of rice, and 1 ounce of salt. An allowance of tea and sugar was also issued daily for the men in hospital. All the arrack in store was kept for the hospitals ; the amount of it received daily in the 90th hospital was between eight and ten rations. It was kept for emergencies, mostly those in which freshly wounded men, suffering from the ordinary ” shock ” following a bullet wound, required support. It was a great deprivation for men in hospital when the rice issue was cut down more than half—that is, from 4 to 1 1/2 ounces daily. Later on, and following an inspection of the hospital by General Outram – the ever accessible, ever thoughtful, and kindly—an increase of fresh meat and of the rice diet for the inmates was ordered. ” (Home, Service Memories)

October 17th.—On Saturday, the 17th, the enemy sprung another mine in the picket garden, and blew in our gate, and a second , at the mosque, blowing up two unfortunate sentries in the Madras Fusiliers and one Seikh, besides wounding three or four more Seikhs. One of the latter had both his arms amputated immediately afterwards, and died eventually. Carter, one of our wounded officers, died in hospital to-day of his wounds. It is melancholy seeing men drop off one by one—slowly but surely ; bad food, want of hospital stores and comforts, do their work, and you watch men who were at first but slightly wounded waste away inch by inch under a diet hardly sufficient for a child.” (Danvers)

“On the occasion of one night attack on the 19th October, the fire from the enemy’s position fronting our outpost was so severe and sustained that I fancied a rush on the defences of our square was imminent. I therefore called on all the men in hospital who were able to use their arms to put on their belts. Twenty of them at once volimteered. The hospital sergeant took them across to the post, but the enemy did not attack. At this time the men brought to hospital all had their rifles and ammunition.” (Home)
