“During this morning’s work, I happened to come across a British soldier – I think of the 9th Lancers – who had been wounded, but not very seriously, though sufficiently to cripple him. He was lying patiently under a tree waiting for the hospital establishment to come up and find him; when I asked if I could do anything for him, he said he was suffering from the agonies of thirst and would give anything for a drink of water. ‘Would you prefer beer?’ I asked. ‘Oh, Sir,’ he replied, ‘ don’t make game of me.’ His face was delightful to see when I lugged out of my holsters a pint bottle of ‘Bass’ which I stowed in it according to my invariable practice, and knocked off its head by sliding my sword against it. The grateful fellow tried hard to make me drink half of it; but I could not resist the temptation of watching him swallow it to the last drop. When I presented him with a better Manilla cheroot than he had probably ever smoked in his life before, he began, I really believe, to think he was dreaming, and that such strange luck could not be real.” (Mackenzie)

“One of the worst cases was Sergeant Bell…he was burned from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. The doolies containing the sufferers stood in a row outside the back door of the palace, and they were taken in one by one, as fast as the beds could be got ready. Bell was one of those outside, and as his doolie was broken, and his body touched the ground – a circumstance which greatly added to his agony – I got him taken in before his turn.” (MacKay)

“…wounded by a musket-ball, which entered the left shoulder beneath the acromion, and passed backwards, apparently through the humerus, close to its head. March 2, 1859. There is now anchylosis of the shoulder joint. Much dead bone in fragments can be felt both from the anterior and posterior openings. General health good. 17th. The head of the humerus was excised, and it shows the track of the ball to be in a carious state. Numerous smaller pieces were also taken away by the gouge. Invalided.” (Williamson)

Born in 1816 to Reverend Edward Francis Winnington Ingram and Jane Onslow- their third son – Thomas was one of the 9 Rugby men, who at various times in 1857 and 1858 had served at Lucknow. He was commissioned to the 97th Regiment in 1836 as a cornet, promoted to lieutenant in 1842, captain in 1842 and major in 1854, followed a year later to Lieutenant-Colonel. His entire career had been spent in the 97th; for just over 20 years, he had served with the regiment in all their battles, including Crimea. At his death, he left behind his wife Jessie Maria (née Parsons), whom he had married in 1847 and their young son, Edward, aged 9.
He lies buried in the Lucknow Cantonment Military Cemetery.

“When returning by the Dilkusha, about sunset, I saw in the distance above the scene of our operations, in or near the Kaiser Bagh, the pillar-like cloud of smoke which indicates a great explosion of loose powder. The Dilkusha, at a distance of two miles, trembled, it is said, as if shaken by an earthquake. On reaching the Field Hospital there, I found that there had been a previous explosion and saw those who survived of the men who had been burnt. What an awful sight! The faces of some of those were black, and their bodies from head to foot were, in some instances, almost raw.” (Mackay)

Regiment of Ferozepore (Brayser’s Sikhs) – 5 rank and file killed, 33 wounded.
Captain Lionel Gómez Da Costa (attached from the 58th BNI) – dangerously wounded. Died of wounds. Aged 34. At the time of his death, he was 2nd in Command of Brayser’s Sikhs. Born in 1824, he was the son of a merchant and had joined the service in 1841. His regiment, the 58th BNI, had been disarmed in Rawalpindi.
“At this moment, an officer, evidently dying, was carried past. He recognised me and gave a faint smile as he went by. Poor Da Costa! He had been persecuting the Head-Quarters’ people at Cawnpore to take him up to the front. He had plied every department with solicitations, used every stratagem; he had even extended his supplications by telegraph to Alumbagh for leave to get to Lucknow. At last, he came to me and begged that I would put him ‘on my staff!’ His regiment was gone in the mutinies, and he was nearly mad with anxiety to strike a blow at Lucknow for certain reasons. If I could take him, the tempter said—and at this time I was indeed in a fair way to fall before such temptation—he would ask my acceptance of that thorough-bred charger which he was riding as he spoke. Somehow or other he managed to become attached to a Punjaub regiment, and he fell early in the day’s work.” (Russell)
