[Footnote 12:  This wall has long since been built up, and the whole place is so overgrown with jungle that it was with difficulty I could trace the actual site of the breach when I last visited Lucknow in 1893.]

[Footnote 13:  Blunt’s troop, when it left Umballa in May, 1857, consisted of 93 Europeans and 20 Native Gun Lascars.  It suffered so severely at Delhi that only five guns could be manned when it marched from there in September, and after the fight at Agra its total loss amounted to 12 killed and 25 wounded.  Four guns could then with difficulty be manned.  When Blunt left the troop in January, 1858, to take command of Bourchier’s Field Battery, 69 out of the 113 men with whom he had commenced the campaign had been killed or wounded!  The troop would have been unserviceable, had men not volunteered for it from other corps, and drivers been posted to it from the Royal Artillery.  At the commencement of the Mutiny Blunt was a subaltern, and in ten months he found himself a Lieutenant-Colonel and a C.B.  Quick promotion and great rewards indeed, but nothing more than he richly deserved; for seldom, if ever, has a battery and its commander had a grander record to show.]

[Footnote 14:  Captain Walton was the senior officer of the regiment present, and took a conspicuous part in leading it, but as in Sir Colin Campbell’s opinion he was too junior to be in command, Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon was appointed as a temporary measure.]

[Footnote 15:  The word ‘Dogra’ was originally applied to the Rajput clans in the hills and sub-montane tracts to the north of the Ravi.  In later years it included hill Rajputs south of the Ravi, and in military parlance all these Rajputs who enlisted in our ranks came to be called Dogras.]

[Footnote 16:  In consequence of the behaviour of the 4th Punjab Infantry on this occasion, and in other engagements in which they served with the 93rd Highlanders, the officers and men of the latter corps took a great liking to the former regiment, and some years after the Mutiny two officers of the 93rd, who were candidates for the Staff Corps, specially applied to be posted to the 4th Punjab Infantry.]

[Footnote 17:  Attached as Interpreter to the 93rd Highlanders.]

[Footnote 18:  It was here Captain Walton, of the 53rd, was severely wounded.]

[Footnote 19:  Subadar Gokal Sing was mentioned by the Commander-in-Chief in despatches for his conduct on this occasion.]

[Footnote 20:  For this act of heroism Mukarrab Khan was given the Order of Merit, the Indian equivalent to the Victoria Cross, but carrying with it an increase of pay.  At the end of the campaign Mukarrab Khan left the service, but when his old Commanding officer, Colonel Wilde, went to the Umbeyla expedition in 1863, Mukarrab Khan turned up and insisted on serving with him as an orderly.]
