English: No. 15, Captain George Franklin Atkinson, a view of the 'Heavy Day in the Batteries, 1857, from the book 'The Campaign in India, 1857-8', published 1859.
In the weeks leading up to the British assault on Delhi in September 1857 gun batteries were established within close range of the city walls. After a long artillery duel, they silenced the rebel guns and then made breaches in the bastions and walls for the attacking troops. The capture of Delhi was key to the suppression of the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859). |
