The house was built in 1820 for William Fraser (1784-1835), agent to the Governor General in Delhi, and was bought by the Mahratta Chief Hindu Rao after Frasers death. It was then the scene of fierce fighting during the Indian Mutiny. During the Siege of Delhi in 1857, the house was garrisoned by the Sirmoor Battalion and 1st Battalion The KingAs Royal Rifle Corps, who were both subjected to repeated forays by the mutineers inside the city. The garrison was under continuous fire for over three months until the British had finally gathered enough men to assault Delhi in September. During that period the Sirmoor Battalion suffered 327 casualties out of a total strength of 490, including eight of their nine British Officers.); eNational Army Museum; out of copyright. © National Army Museum / Bridgeman Images

EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph captures a historic moment during the Indian Mutiny of 1857-1859. The image shows members of the Sirmoor Battalion, later known as the 2nd King Edward VII's Own Gurkha Rifles, gathered outside Hindu Rao's house on the Delhi Ridge in 1858. Hindu Rao's house was originally built for William Fraser, an agent to the Governor General in Delhi. After his death, it was purchased by Mahratta Chief Hindu Rao and became a significant location during the Indian Mutiny. The house witnessed intense fighting as it was garrisoned by both the Sirmoor Battalion and 1st Battalion The King's Royal Rifle Corps. During their time at Hindu Rao's house, these brave soldiers faced repeated attacks from mutineers within Delhi. They endured continuous fire for over three months until reinforcements arrived in September. Tragically, this period resulted in heavy casualties for the Sirmoor Battalion with 327 soldiers lost out of a total strength of 490, including eight British Officers out of nine. The photograph serves as a testament to their courage and sacrifice during one of India's most tumultuous periods. It is part of an extensive collection held by London's National Army Museum and showcases Felice Beato’s talent as an accomplished photographer capturing poignant moments from history.
