With Havelock From Allahabad To Lucknow [Illustrated Edition]

Lieutenant William Tate Groom

History / Europe / Great Britain / General

[Illustrated with over one hundred maps, photos and portraits, of the battles, individuals and places involved in the Indian Mutiny]

Lady Inglis, in her interesting book “The Siege of Lucknow,” has given a vivid description of the joy with which the army under Generals Havelock and Outram were welcomed by the beleaguered garrison.

"Among them was that of my dear husband, who was mortally wounded in a sortie on the 5th Oct.
