A fuller account of what passed here up to June 3 will be found under C. B. Saunders, but Campbell took part in the attack on, and disarming of, the Sappers and Miners from Roorkee. On May 29 he was out with 50 Sowars against a large body of Gujars ; and he was throughout actively employed in keeping as much order as possible. When the whole party were forced to retire to Meerut, Campbell was sent to Baghpat to keep the bridge there and maintain communication between Meerut and Dehli. This he did for some, time, but, when the troop of Dragoons there was temporarily absent escorting wounded men to Meerut, the insurgents seized the opportunity and drove Campbell into the camp before Dehli. He returned with a party of the Jhind troops, but after a time they retired to Dehli and he was forced to go with them. After three weeks he returned to Meerut, and had a narrow escape, for no sooner had they arrived there than his escort of Native Cavalry rode off and joined the rebels at Dehli. Campbell returned to Dehli on its capture, and was then sent to restore order first in the Rohtuck District and afterwards in the confiscated State of Jhajjar. The hard work here was much increased by the necessity of accompanying the troops on the watch against an inroad by Tantia Topi and the Gwalior Contingent. |
