Watson, Probyn, and Younghusband, with their three squadrons, cleared our right flank, capturing two guns and some standards; and Hugh Gough, with his squadron, performed a similar duty on the left.
Probyn greatly distinguished himself on this occasion.

In one of the charges he got separated from his men, and was for a time surrounded by the enemy, two of whom he slew.

In another charge he captured a standard.

For these and numerous acts of gallantry during the Mutiny, he was, to the great delight of his many friends in the column, awarded the Victoria Cross.
When Greathed arrived, the order for a general advance was given, and we were just moving off in pursuit of the rebels, when the 3rd European Regiment and a battery of Field Artillery under Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton arrived from the fort.

This officer, being senior to our Brigadier, took command of the force, and untimely delay was caused while he learnt the details of our position.
