The troops at Meerut remaining inactive after the outbreak of May 10, the district naturally and rapidly became disorganized. On May 24 Johnston obtained the assistance of a small party of Carabineers to proceed against some of the most refractory of the villages in the neighbourhood, and the burning of the village of Iktiarpore was the first hint given to the people that there were some British soldiers left. On the return of this expedition Johnston was thrown from his horse and died in a few days from the effects of the fall. And thus was lost to the Service a gallant and rising young officer. |
