The Persian Expedition - H.E.I.C. [Honourable East India Company] "Semiramis", Bushire, Resident's House, Sandbag Batteries, 1857. Sketch...by an officer...showing part of what occurred during the attack and capture of Bushire...The Persians sent off a boat with a flag of truce, asking for a day to consider about surrendering...By some mistake the Victoria commenced firing before this boat had reached the shore; the Persians returned the fire...shots were falling thick and close...By far the most troublesome guns were those on the three sandbag batteries...but these were at last silenced; a well-aimed shell from the H.E.I.C. corvette Faulkland doing much damage...About one o'clock the firing had ceased, and the Persians had hauled down their flagstaff, in token of surrender. Our troops were seen marching up, and....a loud cheering drew our attention to the British flag waving on the walls of Bushire'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
