Summary edit

Description
English: The Indian Mutiny 1857-1859
The Gate House of Alumbagh near Lucknow. The Alumbagh was a large walled enclosure situated on the outskirts of Lucknow near the Cawnpore Road. It contained a palace, mosque and gardens. During the Mutiny, it fell briefly under the control of the Indian mutineers. When British forces under the command of Havelock and Outram retook the Alumbagh on 23 September 1857, they continued to fortify it and use it in connection with military operations associated with the Relief of Lucknow. In November 1857, a force of c 5,000 men assembled there. General Sir Henry Havelock died there on 24 November 1858 during the final stages of the fall of Lucknow and was buried nearby.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
