English: 'Sir Henry Barnard's Grave', Indian Mutiny, 1857
One of 14 tinted lithographs by Brevet Major J R Turnbull, 13th Light Infantry, from 'Sketches of Delhi taken during the Siege', published by T McLean, 1858. Barnard served as a brigade commander in the Crimea, and when Lord Raglan died, he became Chief of Staff to General James Simpson, the new British commander. During the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859), Barnard led the force to take Delhi from the rebels occupying the city. After a decisive victory at Badli-ki-Serai, Barnard's forces took up position on the Delhi Ridge overlooking the city. Conditions were grim in the siege lines and Barnard died of cholera in July 1857, 10 weeks before the city fell. Barnard was buried at Rajpur Cemetery, Delhi. The inscription on his grave reads:- Beneath this cross are buried the mortal remains of Major General Sir Henry Barnard K.C.B. who died the VIIth July MDCCCLVII when in chief command of the troops besieging Delhi This monument is erected to his memory by brother officers who served with him before Sebastopol [From information supplied by the descendants of General Barnard] reference NAM Accession Number: NAM. 1971-02-33-564-08 National Army Museum, London Location: National Army Museum, Study collection |
