The officers of 3rd Cavalry Brigade agreed to resign en masse if so ordered. "Officer commanding 5th Lancers states that all officers, except two and one doubtful, are resigning their commissions today. I much fear same conditions in the 16th Lancers. Fear men will refuse to move. Regret to report Brigader-General Gough and 57 officers 3rd Cavalry Brigade prefer to accept dismissal lf ordered North." The Government denied that troops would be ordered North and the whole affair was closed down. Although sometimes called a mutiny, in fact no order was ever issued.
