Changes

After Havelock recaptured Cawnpore in July 1857 he set out to relieve the Siege of Lucknow where he too became besieged. General Colin Campbell gather gathered a larger force and left General Windham with 1,500 men to hold Cawnpore. On 19 November Tantya Tope brought a rebel army of 6,000 men to threaten the city. Windham attacked the advance guard on 26 November and drove them back but withdrew to an entrenchment and the rebels occupied Cawnpore. General Campbell returned from Lucknow and on 6 December defeated the rebel forces.
