== Summary ==
Brigadier General Henry Havelock was appointed to command the force designed to relieve [[Cawnpore ]] and then [[Lucknow]]. From [[Allahabad ]] he won a series of victories recapturing Cawnpore on 16 July. He made three attempts to get to Lucknow. Finally, reinforced by Sir James Outram, he left Cawnpore on 19 September and re-entered Lucknow on 25 September. He was then besieged by a larger force of rebels and died of dysentery shortly after the siege was lifted for the second time on 17 November.
