Summary
[edit]DescriptionP19. View from the Highlanders' Post.jpg |
English: Plate 19. View from the Highlanders' Post. The accompanying illustration depicts a view of the advanced post of the position carried and occupied by Her Majesty’s 78th Highlanders shortly after the arrival of the force under Sir James Outram. The building on the left is Anderson’s House, and that on the right the post held by Captain Germon, inside the old intrenchments, and facing the Cawnpore road. By holding this post, therefore, the road was commanded on both sides, and the barricade represented in the sketch was thrown across it. It was, an unpleasant place, however, as the enemy’s round shot used to come skipping, down the road and into the defences from guns situated in gardens two or three hundred yards distant.
The edifice in the background is the “Begum Kothee,” which means the “ noble woman’s dwelling.” It was the centre of the Residency position; and partly from that circumstance, and partly owing to the mark afforded by its two lofty minarets, it suffered severely from round shot and shell. As the reader will perceive, one of the spires themselves was knocked away by a cannon-ball. |
