DescriptionP05. Sanders's Post (cropped).jpg |
English: Plate 5. Sander's Post. ((aka Saunders' (Financial post) or 'Financial Garrison') This was, in the days of tranquillity, the office of the Financial Commissioner of Oude. It was a most uncomfortable position both to hold and to approach; for the only way of reaching it was by sliding down a steep and
slippery descent in the rear, which was completely exposed to the rifle and musketry fire of the rebels. It was still more dangerous to leave; as the noise made by the falling stones, displaced by the departing soldier as he scrambled nimbly up the ascent, attracted the' attention of the enemy, and a shower of bullets was immediately sent at the unhappy victim, who deemed himself fortunate if he reached the top with no other loss of breath than that caused by his physical exertions. Not a few men were killed and wounded on this path. The house was in the same line as "Germon’s Post,” (aka Germon's (Judicial post)) which forms No. 11 of these sketches, and was to the full as much battered, and as ably defended by its gallant commander, Captain Sanders, of the 41st regiment Native Infantry, from whom it derives its name. |
