The siege of Lucknow saw some of the toughest fighting of the Indian Mutiny aka 1st War of Independence. In the two videos below, I walk the residency grounds, explore how the site looks now and tell the story of the six month long siege and its eventual relief.
The Relief of Lucknow was a key turning point in the Indian Mutiny of 1857-59. In this video above, you will walk with me across the battlefield and learn how the most Victoria Crosses in a single day were awarded.
