Hope Grant seized the chance, mov- ing his squadrons to the left, sheltered from view by the ground, he caught up the rebels, charged and broke them, pursuing for 5 miles until day- light failed. It was for two incidents in this pursuit, the saving of a sowars' life, and the capture single handed of a standard, that Lord Roberts gained his V. C. It is related that Sir Colin was furious with the 53rd for their breach of discipline, and having had them formed up rode up with the inten- tion of ra...ting them soundly. But the 53rd were not to be defeated, every time the chief opened his mouth they gave " Three cheers for Sir Colin, " and shouted with all their might, until finally Sir Colin rode off laughing. Is it necessary to remark that the bulk of the men of the 53rd were Irish ? On the 3rd the Column reached Fatehgarh and were joined there on the 6th by Windham and Seaton. The Doab was now sufficiently cleared for the police officers to resume their functions. Reverting now to operations in Behar, we have seen that in July a force of 3, 000 Gurkhas was assembled at Juanpur where their presence kept the district in order.
