Comment | | The Memorial reads:
In Memory of One Whose Name should Never be Forgotten
THOMAS HENRY KAVANAGH V.C.
Who in the Night of 9th November 1857
With the Devotion of an Ancient Roman
Taking his Life in his Hand
Went Forth from the Beleaguered Residency
And passing though a City thronged with Merciless Enemies
Successfully Guided Sir Colin Campbell and his Army
To the Relief of the Garrison
