Battle of Aong and the Battle of Pandu Naddi

“Several of our men were wounded, and a fine fellow, a Highlander, was shot dead m my front, half of his head having been taken off by a round shot.” (Major North)

1st Madras Fusiliers
Major Sydenham George C. Renaud – severely wounded at Aong, left leg amputated. Died of wounds

“Major Renaud having been mortally wounded at the head of the Madras Fusiliers, and, besides other casualties, we lost a very fine young soldier, Bombardier Harding, who was wounded while laying his gun. A round shot shattered his arm from the fingers to the elbow. “ If you please, sir, may I fall out ” he said to me, saluting as if on parade, and pointing to the mangled arm. He died that evening from loss of blood.” (F.C.Maude)
“Both Beatson and he were buried near the camp at the northwest corner of the station, where their tombs serve not only as memorials of themselves but as an historical reminiscence of Havelock’s position.” (J. Sherer)
Renaud’s leg was amputated and he died the next day.
Captain Stuart Beatson, Deputy Assistant Adjutant General to the Oudh Field Force was taken ill with cholera towards the end of the day’s fighting at Cawnpore on the 16th of July. He spent the battle “utterly prostrate and exhausted”, laying on one of Maude’s ammunition wagons and drinking champagne, which Maude believed sustained him for a time. Upon his death, Lieutenant H.M. Havelock was appointed to his post.
