ABSTRACT
The operations had apparently disposed so effectually of the rebellious forces in Central India, that Sir Colin Campbell wrote to Sir Robert Hamilton regarding the distribution of the troops, who, under the inspiring example of Sir Hugh Rose, had shown the endurance and undaunted courage of the British soldier at his best. Tantia Topi took charge of the fortress; the Rani exercised the command of the troops at Morar; the Rao Sahib became Governor of the city; the Nana was proclaimed as Peshwa; and the rebellious rajahs in Bundelkhand were directed to join the new Government at Gwaliar. The Haidarabad Contingent were some marches down country on their return to the Nizam’s country when the news of the capture of Gwaliar by the rebels reached them, but the men had all begged that they might go back and serve under Sir Hugh Rose.
