Framed Print of Sir Archdale Wilson, of Delhi, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The late Sir Archdale Wilson, of Delhi, 1874. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Mason and Co. This gallant veteran of the Indian army, who was interred last week in Kensal-green Cemetery, will be remembered as the conqueror of Delhi. He was the son of a Norfolk country clergyman, but entered the East India Company's service in 1819, in the Bengal Artillery. He was commanding a brigade at Meerut when the mutiny of 1857 broke out there. After some important actions performed by him, the command of the Delhi field force devolved upon him. With not more than 7000 effective troops, and no adequate siege artillery, he attacked the great fortified city, garrisoned by 30, 000 fighting men. On Sept. 14 Delhi was assaulted, and was captured after six days hard fighting, in which General Nicholson was killed. The successful General was raised to the baronetcy as Sir Archdale Wilson of Delhi, with the grand cross of the Bath and a pension. He received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament. In 1858 Sir Archdale commanded the artillery, under Lord Clyde, at the siege of Lucknow. Lady Wilson, who survives him, is a daughter of the late General Frith, of the Bengal Artillery'.
