- After they had butchered all the women and kids, killed the men on the barges(below)they then went elsewhere for blood. This was not a mutiny but the full rendered display of soldiers and scavengers who had lost any humanity.One can undersytand the mutiny but not the methods of killing women and kids.
- LUCKNOW WAS ATTACKED, FROM MAY TO NOVEMBER 1857.ALL TOOK REFUGE IN THE RESIDENCY, ABOUT 900.
- 10,000 Mutineers beseiged Lucknow.Terror, the women weeping, all seemingly lost. But a man called Henry Havelock was making a forced march to relieve the sufferers; a 1000 men , the hottest weather, he scored three victories on his way and on his way was CAWNPORE. On the 17th of July he saw the remains of the women, the children, and the ground still soaked in blood. He saw the Horror that had taken place. Cholera had attacked his troops, dysentery too,Havelock travelled on and he scored another
- victory.Urged to press on to Lucknow he decided he must turn back to Cawnpore, his small force was decidely short of ammo
.He was replaced by Outram but Outram knew the worth of Henry Havelock, it had taken courage to turn back. Sir James Outram then stood down in honour of the great Havelock the honour of storming Lucknow. But because of numbers it was obvious that Lucknow could only be reinforced not taken.

But when a British tour party arrived in the northern city of Lucknow - scene of one of the mutiny's most brutal battles - their reception was far from peaceful.PHONE /FAX: 1 (203) 567-0616
Chanting anti-British slogans, an angry mob pelted their tour bus with rubbish and dirty water before layingsiege to the group's hotel.The building was last night barricaded by police after the visitors received death threats.The party of around 40 Britons - many of them elderly and some of them descendants of those killed in 1857 - were unable to leave as scores of nationalist protesters shouted "English go home" and called them"descendants of savages".So deep was their illfeeling that one Hindu leader even called for the tourists to be executed.
Anil Tiwari, a member of the World Hindu Council in Lucknow, said: "These visitors should be hanged from a tree and their bodies put on the first flight out of India.Muslim clerics joined their arch enemies - Hindu fundamentalists - in saying they would allow no "celebration" of the anniversary.Hugh Purcell, a historian with the group, was dismayed by the reception the visitors had received."Media reports spoke of how we were conducting a 'victory celebration' when all we were doing was commemorating the event," he said."We are disappointed, embarrassed and feeling harassed. We are all deep lovers of India and came here in a spirit of inquiry and respectfulness."He said the visitors were coping "stoically" and that older women on the trip, one aged 80, were "solid memsahibs with a stiff upper lip"."Frankly, it hasn't been much of a holiday," he added.Dr Rosie Llewellyn- Jones, a writer with the group, said: "We want to understand the Indian point of view and to remember the brave dead on both sides."The trouble for the tour party - which is made up of Britons with links to the Rifles regiments, historians, and descendants of military families - started as soon as they arrived in India ten days ago.Protesters stormed the lobby of their hotel in Agra in the north and an angry mob also greeted them when they travelled south to Gwalior.They finally arrived in Lucknow on Monday. The Siege of Lucknow was one of the key events in the rebellion. When it finally ended in 1858, thousands of Indians and Britons had died, including Lucknow's Chief Commissioner Sir Henry Lawrence.Last night his great-great grandson, also called Sir Henry Lawrence, 55, was among those caught up in the modern-day siege at the Residency Hotel.Also on the trip is Sir Mark Havelock-Allan, a senior judge whose great-great grandfather was Major-General Henry Havelock. He led a relief force during the siege but died in the city from exhaustion and dysentery days after it ended.His statue now stands in Trafalgar Square.The group were yesterday unable to fulfil their plan to visit a graveyard where some 2,000 Britons are buried.Today they will try to leave for Kanpur, where the bodies of more than 100 slaughtered English women and children were thrown into the Ganges."They have no business honouring their dead when so many Indians were massacred so ruthlessly."
