When the Gujars attacked the town of Bulundshahr, and the Sepoys refused to do more than guard the Treasury, the small body of Englishmen were unable to stop them with only a few troopers and police, and were obliged to break up. Turnbull and Lyall joined Lieutenant Ross and tried to remove the treasure. But soon after starting the Guard took the road towards Dehli instead of to Meerut, and warned Ross that his life was no longer safe with them. The three officers then made their way to Meerut, which they reached in safety. Lyall afterwards joined the Khakee Resalla under Dunlop, and was well known in that gallant band of Volunteers. |
