Kunch – 6 May

“To show the force with which they cut with their native swords, it is only necessary to instance Line Sergeant Wilson, who had his bridle arm completely severed above the elbow, and on another occasion, the thigh of a Gond was cut through at one blow. On the other hand, I have seen the blunt swords of a dragoon bound off the skull instead of cleaving it; while on the same day, a native cut off part of a dragoon’s foot, shoe, sole and all! I have seen a dragoon cut a man across the face with sufficient force to slice the top of his head off, yet he scarcely cut through the cheekbones. But in spite of all the inferiority of our arms, exhausted and almost dying as half the force was, we drove them before us on the Orai road, killed five hundred and took nine guns and a quantity of ammunition. Captain Abbott led his men on with his usual praiseworthy valour, and showed that in a pursuit no weapon equals the spear.”

Staff
Lieutenant Baigrie, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General – severely wounded by a sword cut, which all but severed two fingers from his hand; notwithstanding, he gallantly continued during the action to discharge his duties with as much efficiency as before.

Line Sergeant Charles H. Wilson – died of wounds.

Sickness had deprived me of the services of some of my staff, amongst others of that of Captain Macdonald, Assistant Quartermaster – General, who, although unable to stand from illness, would, with the never-failing devotion which characterises him, have taken part in the combat, if I had not ordered him back to his bed.” (Offical report, Major-General Sir Hugh Rose, K.C.B., Commanding Central India Field Force, to the Adjutant-General of the Army, Poona. Sir, Camp Goolowlee, May 24, 1858)

71st Regiment of Foot

“On the 3rd of May the Head Quarter Wing of the 71st Highland Light Infantry joined us, with their Band and Bagpipes , and the sound of these at starting , and on gaining our encamping ground, was the only cheering thing which happened during the 24 hours . Their dress and equipment was almost perfect -a loose holland blouse and overalls of Kakee dye, and a light shako-shaped hat, with cover and curtain of the same colour. The 3rd B. Europeans were dressed much in the same way, but wore a forage cap, and pugry, which afforded little protection, and hung dabby and flabby down the neck.”

“Eleven poor fellows were killed outright by the sun, and many more were struck down. I was obliged four times to get off my horse from excessive debility. The doctor poured cold water over me and gave me restoratives, which enabled me to go on again. I do not think I shall stay in India to pass such another
torment as 110° in the shade. I have succeeded militarily better than I could have expected, and that is all I wanted.”
(Sir Hugh Rose)
