Unfortunately, the forebodings of Major Evans at Lucknow came to reality as his wife was killed when an enemy round shot smashed into a masonry wall and a mass of bricks that became displaced came crashing down onto her. Their two children also died in the entrenchment.

It was noted that Lieutenant Jervis of the engineers always insisted in taking his time as he went about his duties. However, his luck ran out as he was walking between the tile-roofed barracks and Whiting’s battery when he came under a hail of bullets and was hit and killed.

The Reverend Moncrieff:

‘… was most indefatigable in the performance of his ministry of mercy with the wounded and the dying. Public worship of any combined form was quite out of the question, but this devoted clergyman went from post to post reading prayers while we stood to arms.’

The Romish priest was the only well-fed man in our party, for the Irish privates used to contribute from their scanty rations for his support.’
