| Description |
English: No. 26, Captain George Franklin Atkinson, a view of the Wounded men at Dugshai in 1857, from the book 'The Campaign in India, 1857-8', published 1859.
Dugshai, 56 kms near Simla, was used by the British as a hill retreat for sick and injured men. Its climate was more favourable than that of the burning plains below. When news of the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859) reached the hill stations the troops who were fit enough to march immediately departed for the siege of Delhi. Many of the soldiers wounded or taken ill at Delhi later returned to the hill station to recuperate. Dagshai, also known as Daagh-e-Shahi, is one of the oldest cantonment towns in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, India. reference |
