The 78th Highlanders
The 78th was involved in the recapture of the town of Cawnpore 50 miles from Lucknow in July 1857 and formed part of the relief force under Havelock, to relieve Lucknow which was accomplished in September. Due to the number of sick and wounded, an evacuation did not take place and the defence of the city was expanded. The relievers themselves were besieged for 6 weeks before being themselves relieved in November 1857. For their defence of Lucknow and gallantry in the Indian Mutiny, eight men of the 78th Highland Regiment were awarded the VC.
