The Indian Mutiny  1857 to 1858. Military art prints of the Indian Mutiny by Thomas Jones Barker, Harry Payne, Mark Churms, and David Rowlands. including Giclee Canvas prints  all published by Cranston Fine arts The Military Art print Company

The Mutiny started in Meerut, with the news reaching the British at Simla on the 12th of May 1857,  Troops were moved to re-take the city of Delhi which was in the hands of the Mutineers, After a three month siege the City was taken on the 14th of September 1857.  Lucknow was more of  a succession of operations starting the the defence of the residency.  the reinforcement of the garrison,  the withdrawal of women and children from the Garrison, and finally the siege and capture of Lucknow (May 1857 to March 1858).  There was some small number of smaller clashes and putting down revolts by mutineers in Central India.
Relief of Lucknow, 1858
In the annals of war there are few achievements more heroic than the defence and relief of Lucknow.  For nearly six months the garrison withstood repeated attacks of an overwhelming force and suffered hunger and sickness with a courage that won them an imperishable name.  In the summer of 1857 the country between Delhi and Allahabad was in the hands of the rebels, and Lucknow and Cawnpore were besieged by men whom we had armed and trained for war.  Betrayed by native gunners the defenders of Lucknow had to abandon the fort in the city and to seek the refuge of the Residency.  Here they were invested from the 1st of July until the 23rd of September, when the guns of havelock thundered at the gates of the city.  Through the enemy's country he had marched with fourteen hundred men and a few Sikhs.  Fierce heat and torrential rains barred his progress, while clouds of rebel horse and foot harassed him at every turn.  But Havelock's was an avenging force and it swept through the land with a sword of flame until the massacre of Cawnpore was wiped out in blood.  For a moment it appeared as though vengeance must halt at the hecatomb of Nana Sahib.  Exhausted by long marches and continuous engagements the devoted little band was compelled to recross the Ganges, and to rest for one month at Cawnpore.  Here cholera was added to the number of their enemies and the "prop and stay of British India in the hour of her severest trial" seemed ready to fall.  Then came the final advance and Lucknow was reached.  But the task had only begun.  One third of the gallant infantry fell at the taking of the bridge, and even after that two miles of streets had to be traversed, and every street was entrenched and barricaded and every house was loopholed and defended by riflemen.  Progress in that direction was impossible and a detour had to be made.  The Highlanders formed the rear guard and suffered heavily.  Led by Outram and Havelock they left the main body and pushed on with desperate gallantry through the houses, out of which poured a deadly stream of bullets.  Covered with wounds and blood they reached the Residency.  Step by step the wounded were brought in and the reinforced garrison prepared to continue their resistance, for the enemy were still too numerous to attempt a sortie, hampered with women and children and sick.  Rations already scarce were still further reduced and for two months the struggle went on with unabated fury on the one side and with dauntless bravery on the other.  Again and again the rebels sought to capture the fort by mining.  Never were men pressed more desperately and never were endurance and courage more manifest.  Sharpshooters crept within fifty yards of the defences and kept up a galling fire, while disease and death wrought havoc in the ranks.  But their troubles were nearly over.  Colin Campbell with three thousand five hundred men were on the march.  When the news came of his approach the bugle sounded and the garrison dashed out upon the enemy scattering them like chaff and the siege ever memorable in our history was raised.  There was one regret only.  The gallant and dauntless Havelock did not live to reap the reward of his daring march to Lucknow. (extract from British Battles 1898)

Charge of the Queens Bays by Harry Payne. The Second Dragoon Guards, known as the "Queen's Bays" referring to the Regiment's mounts, formed part of the force assembled by Sir Colin Campbell for the assault and recapture of the city of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny. The city had been heavily fortified by the approximately 120,000 mutineers encamped therein, and during the first days of March 1858, the Bays took part in several sharp actions outside the city walls. During the second week of March, while on patrol, two squadrons of the Bays, commanded by Major Percy Smith, engaged large numbers of enemy foot and horse. The Regiment was given the order "Charge and pursue!" and with the characteristic elan of the British cavalry, the Bays thundered into action, accompanied on their right by the Second Punjab Cavalry. In their zeal the Bays cut down as many as eighty of their foes and captured an elephant before becoming disordered - a result of their intensity over broken ground and necessitating the recall order from the trumpeter. Before the Regiment could be regrouped, Major Percy Smith would be killed, along with two corporals. The action of the Bays was reported by all observers as the most gallant, albeit rash, action witnessed before the wall so Lucknow to date.

The Relief of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny by Thomas Jones Barker
  At the outbreak of the Great Mutiny in May 1857, 1,700 English and Indian troops fortified the residency in Lucknow, 270 miles southeast of Dehli. They took refuge here as a mutineer force approached on 1st July. The garrison held out against 60,000 rebels under Sir Henry Havelock. On 25th September a force of 3,000 men of the British army, commanded by Sir Havelock and Sir James Outram, fought their way into the residency from Cawnpore. After marching for a week through the hostile Oudh, the relief column had over 500 casualties, the garrison inside Lucknow had lost almost as many men, including Lawrence, during the defence of the residency. Sir Havelock died from exhaustion before a second relief force led by Sir Colin Campbell arrived on 19th November. Campbell reinforced the garrison before moving southwest to smother a new uprising in Cawnpore. General Outram held the residency for four months until it was liberated by Campbell on March 21, 1858. The rebel chief Nana Sahib disappeared into the jungle.
