Save The Nurses! (Indian Mutiny)

When the dashing Sir Arthur Hamilton Brock heard there were two pretty nurses all alone in a Company outpost, he immediately marched his column to the rescue!

"Ladies", says he, "you have nothing to fear because we are here!"

But then a bugle call is heard in the distance...

Mutineers!  Thousands of them!

Sir Arthur Hamilton Brock's loyal native troops form up...

Tribesmen take aim against them...

The field of battle...

The brave Thin Red Line...

Sir Arthur pauses for some much needed refreshments...

Before the Badmashes charge...

And break through!

Sir Arthur Hamilton Brock's last words:  "Save The Nurses!!"
