==Volunteer Regiments=="Lucknow was one of is the major centres of the [[Indian Mutiny]]. Sir Henry Lawrence became Chief Commissioner head-quarters of the Province of [[Oudh]] (Awadh) on March 20th 1857. The garrison at the time consisted of HM [[32nd Regiment of Foot]], the [[7th Bengal Lancersand Rohilkhand Railway Volunteer Rifle Corps|7th Native Cavalry]], the [[13th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry]], the [[48th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry]] Oudh and the [[71st Regiment of Bengal Native InfantryRohilkhand Railway Volunteer Rifles]], with Indian soldiers outnumbering Europeans 10 to 1. Unrest was evident in the city for several months and when the mutiny reached the province, Lawrence fortified the Residency at Lucknow and took the British inhabitants into the compound. The rebellion broke out on the 30th May and a 87 day siege of the Residency ensued, with Lawrence killed in the first few days.  Forces led by Sir Henry Havelock and Sir James Outram reached Lucknow in September (the First Relief of Lucknow). After taking the [[Alambagh]], this became the headquarters for subsequent actions at Lucknow. Under heavy assault from the rebels, they were unable to evacuate the Residency as intended and instead bolstered the garrison there, a second siege ensuing for six weeks. The Second Relief came in November when Sir Colin Campbell reached Volunteer Rifle Corps|Lucknow. On the 16th November, 2000 rebel [[sepoyVolunteer Rifles]]s besieged at the Secundrabagh villa were massacred when and the [[93rd Regiment of FootOudh Light Horse|93rd Highlanders]] and the [[4th Regiment Oudh squadron of Infantry, Punjab Frontier Force|4th Punjabi Infantry]] took the estate. Campbell managed to evacuate the besieged Europeans at the Residency, but Havelock died before he was able to leave the city. Outram stayed and defended Lucknow until the following March, when Campbell retook the city. During this action Major Hodson (Commander of [[Hodson's Light Horse]]) was killed and buried in the grounds of La Martiniere College.
