From Alambagh to Dilkusha to La Martiniere

For three miles as the British column moved to the east of Alambagh, we were in no position to offer any resistance.

When the British reached Dilkusha park, we attacked them with muskets but alas we were outnumbered and out powered.

The British column then advanced to La Martiniere. By noon, the Dilkusha and La Martiniere were lost.

We vigorously attacked the British left flank from the Bank’s House but the British counter attacked and drove us back into Lucknow.

They are much better supplied and have a lot of fire power.

Bank house’s picture is here:

We will fight tomorrow at Secunderabagh.
