WBritain 1/32 Black Watch Highlander Indian Mutiny 1857 (10002)


The Crimean War Dragged to a close in 1855 and the 42nd returned to England, but only for a short time as the Indian Mutiny erupted.The Regiment landed at Calcutta in early November 1857 and in December carried out a remarkable march of nearly 80 miles in 56 hours and fought two actions - at Cawnpore and Seria Ghat - in three days. In January 1859 Captain John Lawson, who received his commission in Crimea from the ranks, with 37 men held 2,000 mutineers at bay from dawn till dusk. Lawson was severely wounded and died seven months later. Two soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross for this action. This group became known as "Lawson's men" - now a famous pipe tune. In all the Regiment gained eight Victoria Crosses during the Indian Mutiny
