Reception of Colonel Lake and Captain Thompson, at Hull, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Reception of Colonel Lake and Captain Thompson, at Hull, 1856. Event to welcome the return of...two of the heroic defenders of the city of Kars [Crimean War]. These two officers, since October last, had been prisoners in the hands of the Russians, having been removed from Armenia to St. Petersburg, on the surrender of the famished fortress to General Mouravieff...The Burlington, firing as she came along, slackened speed opposite the Victoria Dock...two six- pounders threw out their blustering welcome, and simultaneously a loud and hearty burst of cheering went up from the ten thousand throats of the multitude...We deeply regret to add that, within a few days of this gratifying welcome, one of its brave recipients has been numbered with the dead. Captain Thompson...died suddenly...This lamented young officer had only reached his twenty-seventh year'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
