George Gladwin Denniss II, one of the officers depicted, wrote to his wife on 1 Oct.1857: "George Atkinson of the Engineers has done a capital sketch of my regiment going down the hill and sent it to me. I will send it to you if you wish to see it". On the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny the order to march on Delhi had been given from Simla, and reached the Regt. at Dugshai via Major George Ogle Jacob on 13 May 1857, upon which the Regt. marched down from its rest station at Dugshai, due to reach Umballa that evening.
