Description |
English: Victoria Cross Winners of the Indian Mutiny 1857 - 1858 Portrait of Lieutenant Colonel Augustus Anson VC, a veteran of the Indian Mutiny. Captain Anson, a son of the 1st Earl of Lichfield, served in the 84th Regiment of Foot (later the York and Lancaster Regiment), during the Indian Mutiny. He was awarded the Victoria Cross, aged 22, for the following action: "On 28 September 1857 at Bolandshahr, India, the 9th Light Dragoons had charged through the town and were reforming on the Serai when the enemy tried to close the entrance by drawing their carts across it. Captain Anson, taking a lance, dashed out of the gateway and knocked the drivers off their carts. Owing to a wound in his left hand, he could not stop his horse and rode into the middle of the enemy who fired on him. At Lucknow, on 16 November 1857 he again showed great gallantry when he entered with a storming party on the gates being burst open; his horse was killed and he was slightly wounded." |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
