Colonel Inglis, the Commandant at Lucknow, and Mrs. Inglis and family, 1857. 'Colonel Inglis entered the Army as Ensign in H.M.'s 32nd Regiment in August, 1833, and has remained in it without intermission up to the present day...Upon the breaking out of the Indian mutiny, [his] Regiment was at Lucknow, and upon the death of Major Banks...the whole conduct of the defence of the Residency devolved upon Colonel Inglis. To use the language of the "Times", "the defence of that place is, we believe, without precedent in modern warfare. Fortified towns defended by sufficient force have ere now repelled for months the attacks of an army, and in some cases courage and desperation have struggled against overwhelming odds; but neither Genoa nor Saragossa can rival in heroism the little Residency of Lucknow." Colonel Inglis is married to a daughter of Sir Frederic Thesiger, M.P...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
