| Description |
THE MARTINIERE, AND THE BAILLIE GUARD GATE. LUCKNOW. The Martiniere, built by General Martin, a Frenchman in the British service, was a notable building during the siege of Lucknouw, and figures frequently in the accounts of that heroic feat of arms. It was occupied by the mutineers, and became a source of great danger to the besieged.-The Baillie Gate still bears ample marks of the shot and shell which were poured upon it when it was held by a handful of soldiers, British and natives, during the siege. The gate was blocked by the defenders; and when the relieving force under Havelock and Outram entered the Residency, they were compelled, to pass through a hole pierced In the wall at the side. The obelisk On the right of the picture commemorates the services of the native troops " who died near this spot, nobly performing their duty. |
