Following the [[Recapture of Delhi]] in September 1857 a movable column was formed under [http://www.britishmedals.us/collections/TB/brit/greathed.html Colonel Edward Greathed] to pursue rebels retreating from the city. The column left Delhi on 23 September and fought several actions. Greathed was summoned to relieve Agra and then directed to assist in the relief of Lucknow. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hope_Grant [James Hope Grant|General Sir James Hope Grant]] took command at Ferozabad and the column reached the Alumbagh on 6 November.
