[Footnote 2:  Sir Colin Campbell had served throughout the Punjab Campaign and on the Peshawar frontier.]

[Footnote 3:  Now the 14th (Sikhs) Bengal Infantry.]

[Footnote 4:  During one of Watson’s many reconnaissances he received a cut on the face from a sabre.  One of the 2nd Punjab Cavalrymen, seeing what had happened, rushed to Probyn, and said:  ’Watson sahib has got a wound which is worth a lakh of rupees!’]

[Footnote 5:  Built by a king of Oudh for the ladies of his harem.  It takes its name from the gilt umbrella (Chatta) with which it is adorned.  Now the Lucknow Club.]

[Footnote 6:  Now General Sir John Ewart, K.C.B.]

[Footnote 7:  It was a Native saddle, such as Irregular Cavalry used in those days, made of felt without a tree.]

[Footnote 8:  On one occasion, when I was telling this story to General Sir Samuel Browne, V.C., he said that something similar happened at the battle of Sadulapur on December 2, 1848.  He (Browne) was Adjutant of his regiment (the 46th Native Infantry), which was drawn up in line, with a troop of Horse Artillery, commanded by Major Kinleside, on its right flank.  Seeing that something unusual had occurred, Browne rode up to the troop, and found that one of the men had had his saddle carried away from under him by a small round shot.  The man, who happened at the moment to be standing up in his stirrups, escaped with a bruise, as did the horse.]

[Footnote 9:  A kind of more or less responsible servant or messenger, so called from wearing a chuprass, or badge of office.]

[Footnote 10:  It consisted of Blunt’s troop of Horse Artillery, the wing of the 53rd Foot, and Gough’s squadron of Hodson’s Horse.]

[Footnote 11:  We had not, however, gone far, when a body of rebel Infantry, about 2,000 strong, managing to elude Greathed’s brigade, crossed the canal, and, creeping quietly up, rushed the Martiniere.  Sir Colin had left Lieutenant Patrick Stewart, an unusually promising officer of the Bengal Engineers, on the top of the Martiniere to keep Outram informed of our movements by means of the semaphore, and while Stewart was sending a message he and Watson (who was with him) observed the enemy close up to the building.  They flew down the staircase, jumped on their horses, and, joining Watson’s squadron and the two Madras Native Horse Artillery guns, rode to the city side of the Martiniere to try and cut off the enemy, who, finding no one inside the building, and seeing their line of retreat threatened, made the best of their way back to the city.  Several were killed by the Horse Artillery, which opened upon them with grape, and by Watson’s sowars.]
