Outram with the 78th has made a detour to the right through the Charbagh garden to clear it of the enemy, and, gaining the canal bank, to bring a flanking fire to bear on its defenders. There is only room for two of Maude's guns; and there they stand out in the open on the road trying to answer the fire of the rebel battery.
There is the grave of a young lieutenant in a corner of the little garden and a few private soldiers lie hard by. I turn my face now toward the Charbagh bridge, following the route taken by Havelock's force on the 25th of September the memorable day of the relief.
For a month he managed to delay the despatch, but in the end it was sent and the Cross granted. Therefore Outram's recommendation after the relief of Lucknow was disregarded, and only captain Maude's V.C. is associated with the Charbagh bridge.
