Havelock camps at Mangalwar

Yesterday, Havelock camped at Mangalwar, 5 miles on the Kanpur-Lucknow road.

It now became clear that Havelock had underestimated the stiff resistance from the Avadhis and had no inkling of the intense hatred they felt towards the British.

Oudh regiment disbanded

On 3rd May, the 7th Oudh Irregular Infantry Regiment refused to handle the filthy cartridges. In response, Sir Henry Lawrence had decided to disband them. However, we are pleased to report that our fellow sepoys have managed to keep their weapons.
