Description
English: The Indian Mutiny 1857-1859
Aftermath of the Siege of Lucknow. Skeletal human remains lie among the ruins of the Palace of Secundra Bagh on the outskirts of Lucknow. This is believed to be one of the first photographs to show casualties of war. The Secundra Bagh was assaulted by troops under the command of Sir Colin Campbell on 16 November 1857 during operations to lift the siege of the British Residency in Lucknow. 2,000 mutineers were killed by troops of the 93rd Highland Regiment and 4th Punjab Regiment on 16 November, which also became renowned for the largest number of Victoria Cross awards (24) to be won on a single day. Following the action, the British dead were buried in a deep trench but the Indian corpses were left to rot until the city was finally subdued on 21 March 1858.
Date April 1858
