The losses suffered by the troops at the siege of that fortress exceeded in number the total casualties incurred by the rest of the army in the suppression of the rebellion. The "morning states" of September 13--the day before the storm of the city--showed a total strength of 9,366 effectives; on the evening of the 20th, when the entire city was in our hands, there were but 5,520. No less than 3,846 officers and men had been killed and wounded; yet four days afterwards General Wilson was enabled to despatch a little column to aid in the relief of Lucknow. It consisted of three batteries of Bengal Artillery, 300 men of the 9th Lancers, the headquarters of the 8th and 75th Regiments, totalling only 450 men, so grievously had these battalions suffered in the siege. Four squadrons of native cavalry and two battalions of Punjab troops brought the total strength of the brigade to just under 2,000 men. DELHI, MAY TO SEPTEMBER, 1857. The regiments authorized to bear the battle honour "Delhi" on their colours and appointments are the Carabiniers. 9th Lancers. King's (Liverpool). Gloucesters. Oxford Light Infantry. King's Royal Rifles. Gordon Highlanders. Royal Munster Fusiliers. 9th Hodson's Horse. 10th Lancers. 21st Daly's Horse. 22nd Sam Browne's Horse. 25th Cavalry. Q.O. Corps of Guides, 1st P.W.O. Sappers and Miners. 54th Sikhs. 55th Coke's Rifles. 56th Punjab Rifles. 57th Wilde's Rifles. 127th Baluch Light Infantry. 2nd Gurkhas. 3rd Gurkhas. It will be noted that the Carabiniers is the only corps which bears the two honours "Delhi" and "Sevastopol." On the first news of the mutiny at Meerut reaching the Commander-in-Chief at Simla on May 12, he at once moved down with the Headquarters Staff to Umballa, where the regiments at Kussowlie, Dugshai, and Subathoo, had been ordered to assemble. The 9th Lancers and two troops of Bengal Artillery were quartered at that station, and at Meerut were the Carabiniers, the 60th Rifles, and the headquarters of the Bengal Artillery. Much unavoidable delay occurred in procuring carriage for the troops, and, of course, it was necessary to provide for the safety of the Punjab. It was not until May 24 that the Commander-in-Chief was able to move. Two days afterwards he died of cholera at Kurnal, and the command devolved upon General Barnard--a gallant officer who had been Chief of the Staff during the latter part of the Crimean War, but who was new to India. The force moving down from Umballa consisted of two brigades, and was to be joined before reaching Delhi by the Meerut garrison. This junction took place on June 7. The Meerut force had fought a successful action with the mutineers a week previously, capturing five guns.
