Battle for Lucknow

Part four of a five-part series. General Havelock's Relief Column has retaken Cawnpore, to find appalling evidence of the Nana Sahib's betrayal of the garrison. Beside the River Ganges lie the bones of British soldiers, and proof is uncovered that the women and children have also been mercilessly slaughtered. Serving with the twenty-strong Volunteer Cavalry is Alexander Sheridan, whose wife and son were among the victims. He is willing to make any sacrifice in order to bring relief to Lucknow - also under siege by mutineers - and to spare its garrison the same fate.
