Dennis Quinn was born in Monagh, Tipperary and enlisted into the 34th Foot July 1848 (No. 2992). Transferred to the 32nd Foot April 1849 (No. 3440). Service record states: "In Defence of Residency Lucknow from 30 June to 25 Nov. 57; at the Battle of Cawnpore 6 Dec. 1857." He was discharged January 1860 "allowed to reckon one year additional service on discharge granted by Her Majesty for defence of Lucknow."
30 June 1857 mutineers arrived north of Lucknow causing the British troops to move into the Residency and set up a defensive position (855 British officers and soldiers, 712 Indians, 153 civilian volunteers, and 1,280 civilians). The first attack was repulsed on 1 July. Around 8,000 sepoys had joined the rebel force. with a mix of modern and old canons. Several attempts to storm the position were fought off and then they settled down to a siege. 20 July Major General Havelock attempted to relieve Lucknow, but a battle at Unnao reduced his force to 850 men and he had to withdraw. 18 September Outram led a force of six British and one Sikh infantry battalions to Lucknow to attempt a relief. By the time he reached the Residency, the garrison was reduced to 982 fighting men. But now Havelock's force was so weak that they could not evacuate the Residency and so the siege continued. 14 November, Sir Colin Campbell began his relief of Lucknow. Two days later, after heavy fighting, his force approached the Residency. 19 November the operation to evacuate the Residency began, with the civilians escorted to Cawnpore.
The first siege had lasted 87 days, the second siege a further 61 days.
During the siege, the Union Jack was nailed to the flagpole and so flown continually (the custom was to take it down at dusk). After Luckno was retake, permission was given for the Union Jackto be flown 24 hours a day on the Residency's flagpole. The day before India became independent, the flag was lowered, the flagpole cut down, and the base removed and cemented over, to prevent any other flag ever being flown there.
