    Relief of Lucknow - special reference to 78th Highlanders


    Recommended Posts

    This was written/typed sometime after March 1901 by my grandfather, David Henry Graeme (he was gazetted Captain in March 1901). It describes the Relief of Lucknow, which his father (my great grandfather) took part in - his father was in the Madras Fusiliers. I am not sure where he collated his information, perhaps some from his father, but it makes a very interesting read. I knew nothing about Lucknow until I read this, so it is great that my long deceased grandfather, who would be 137 yrs old now (99 yrs older than me!), has educated me :D

    I hope you enjoy reading it like I have.

    Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

    I recently came into possession of a couple of Mutiny Medals. One for the 79th Highlanders in the Lucknow battle.
