English: 'Sir Henry Barnard's Grave', Indian Mutiny, 1857
One of 14 tinted lithographs by Brevet Major J R Turnbull, 13th Light Infantry, from 'Sketches of Delhi taken during the Siege', published by T McLean, 1858.
Barnard served as a brigade commander in the Crimea, and when Lord Raglan died, he became Chief of Staff to General James Simpson, the new British commander. During the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859), Barnard led the force to take Delhi from the rebels occupying the city. After a decisive victory at Badli-ki-Serai, Barnard's forces took up position on the Delhi Ridge overlooking the city. Conditions were grim in the siege lines and Barnard died of cholera in July 1857, 10 weeks before the city fell.
Barnard was buried at Rajpur Cemetery, Delhi. The inscription on his grave reads:-
Beneath this cross are buried the mortal remains of
Major General Sir Henry Barnard K.C.B.
who died the VIIth July MDCCCLVII
when in chief command of the troops
besieging Delhi
This monument is erected to his memory
by brother officers who served with him before
Sebastopol
