The Late General Neill - from a photograph, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Late General Neill - from a photograph, 1857. Portrait of Brigadier-General James George Smith Neill....young Neill sailed for India at the age of sixteen, and entered the 1st Madras European Fusiliers.... Constant exposure, however, to the Burmese sun produced brain fever, and he was...compelled to return to his native country...the early part of 1855 saw him a volunteer for service in the Crimea, where he was appointed Brigadier-General of the Turkish Contingent...[In Cawnpore] he devised his well-known punishment for the Brahmin mutineers under sentence of death, whom he compelled to lose caste by causing them to clean a portion of the blood-stained room, which had been the scene of their own and Nana Sahib's atrocities...As regards his personal appearance, he was tall and strongly made. His countenance was open and dignified...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
