VICTORIA CROSS AWARDS.

2 Victoria crosses awarded during the Indian Mutiny.

WILLIAM GEORGE HAWTREY BANKES  (Cornet)  7th Hussars            On Arch 19th 1858, near the Moosa Bagh, Lucknow, this young officer twice charged a body of infuriated fanatics who had rushed on the guns employed in shelling a small mud-fort.  He received terrible wounds on that occasion, and died eighteen days later, April 6th 1858.  It is stated that his conduct in the action referred to excited the admiration of all, whilst universal sympathy was extended to him for the terrible sufferings he had to undergo, borne with great fortitude by him until his death, both his arms and legs being mutilated.    The Commander-in-Chief in India provisionally conferred the Victoria Cross upon him before his death, and a notice appeared in the Gazette of December 24th 1858, stating that Her Majesty Queen Victoria would have confirmed the award had he survived. Born September 11th 1836, William Bankes was the son of the right Honourable George Bankes, M.P., of Kingston Lacy and Corfe Castle.  Educated at Westminster School, he joined the Army in April 1857.  He served in the Indian Mutiny under Sir Colin Campbell in Oude, including the repulse of the enemy at the Alumbagh, February 25th; the siege of Lucknow from March 2nd to 16th; and the advance on the Moosa Bagh, where he met his death.

CHARLES CRAUFURD FRASER  (Major, afterwards Lieut. ?General, K.C.B.)  7th (Queen?s Own) Hussars             Sir Charles Fraser (late Colonel, 8th King?s Royal Irish Hussars) was awarded the Victoria Cross for an exceptionally gallant act of bravery and humanity on December 31st 1858.  An officer (Captain Sisted) and some men of his regiment were drowning in the river Raptee, Oude, on the borders of Nepal, having plunged in, in pursuit of mutineers.  Major Fraser, as he then was, at once jumped in to their rescue, under a terrible musketry fire from the opposite bank and succeeded in saving the officer and men, although at the time partially disabled by a wound received on June 13th, at Nawabgunge, when charging with his squadron.  Sir Charles Fraser, born August 31st 1829, served also in the Abyssinian War of 1868.  Was A.D.C. to H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge 1873-7, and Inspector-General of Cavalry 1880-4.  Sat in Parliament as Conservative member for North Lambeth from 1885-92.  For the act of bravery recorded above, he was also awarded the medal of the Royal humane Society. Sir Charles died in London on June 7th 1859 aged 66.

Sabres on the Esla Pursuit of the Imperial Guard at the Battle of Benevente by Mark Churms.


Sabres on the Esla Pursuit of the Imperial Guard at the Battle of Benevente by Mark Churms.

Sir John Moores epic retreat to Corunna was punctuated by desperate and often heroic rear-guard actions - none more dramatic than the cavalry clash at Benevente on the 29th December 1808. Having crossed the river Esla, cold and swollen by recent rainfall, a British picquet, comprised of elements of the Kings German Legion Hussars and the 7th, 10th and 18th Hussars, covers the river and its tactically demolished Castro Gonzalos bridge from a position near the town of Benevente. Napoleon himself leads the pursuit. The Emperors elite Guard Light Cavalry, commanded by General Lefebvre-Desnouettes, is ordered at daylight to ford the river and launch a surprise attack on what appears to be the numerically inferior British units. As five-hundred and fifty French cavalry emerge in orderly fashion from the river, intent upon quickly dispatching the opposition, they are startled to find the British piquet, reinforced by a host of British cavalry, streaming from within the confines of Benevente, .........
