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.
