We have received a telegram that Collins has started from Calcutta. We should expect him in Kanpur in mid November.

Time is running out, after the loss of Delhi, our only hope of saving the nation is to defeat Collins.

  1. khosla Said,

    Was there a train between Kolkuta and Delhi or Agra by that time? I don’t think so, but I thought I’d check.

    How did the armies travel? By horse driver carraiges?

  2. Rajnish Said,

    Was there really a grand trunk road in 1850’s? There has to be some road between the major cities but was it rally called Grand trunk road?
