The months of December, 1857, January, February, and March, 1858, were occupied in preparing for the final advance on Lucknow and the break-up of the many bodies of mutineers scattered over Oude, Bundulcund, and the North-West Provinces. Reinforcements were daily arriving from England, but it was not until the beginning of March that Sir Colin was able to commence his advance on Lucknow. His army now numbered upwards of 20,000 men, with 180 guns. Never in the history of India had such a large number of British troops taken the field. The Cavalry Division, under Sir Hope Grant, included the Queen's Bays, 7th Hussars, 9th Lancers, Hodson's Horse, Daly's Horse, Sam Browne's Horse, and the 25th Cavalry, in addition to the division under Outram. The Second Division, under Sir Edward Lugard, was composed of the Third Brigade (Brigadier Guy)--34th, 38th, and 53rd Regiments; Fourth Brigade (Adrian Hope)--42nd, 93rd, and 57th Wilde's Rifles. The Third Division, under General Walpole, comprised the Fifth Brigade (Brigadier Douglas)--23rd, 79th, and 1st Munster Fusiliers; Sixth Brigade (Horsford)--2nd and 3rd Battalions Rifle Brigade and 56th Rifles. The artillery was under the command of Sir Archdale Wilson, who had been made a K.C.B. for the capture of Delhi.
