It appears from the statements of the non-commissioned officers and men who accompanied Captain Browne on the occasion that he was the first person who entered the Battery, which consisted of the two guns in question, protected by high pallisades, the embrasures being closed with sliding shutters. On reaching the Battery, Captain Browne removed the shutters and jumped into the Battery. The result was that the guns were spiked, and it is supposed that about one hundred of the enemy were killed.

Bryson, Alfred Henley. Obituary: On the evening of Sunday, 23 November 1913, there passed away Mr Alfred Henley Bryson at Adelaide’s Bay-side suburb of Glenelg. His expiring peacefully in his sleep at the age of 64 signalled the end of a fascinating story and a link with a significant event in military history – one that had begun at the siege of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857-59. As a small boy of only eight years of age, Alfred Bryson had actively participated in the defence of Lucknow from 29 June to 22 November 1857. He later received, albeit 53 years after the event, the Indian Mutiny Medal and clasp ‘Defence of Lucknow’! This was a rare distinction indeed.
