| | No. | 759 |  | Surname | Galloway | | | Christian Names | Arthur | | | Dates at Haileybury | 1841-42 | | | Presidency | Bengal  | | | Career in India | 1843-57 | | | Place of Death | Killed at Delhi | | | Date of Death | 1857 [May 11] | | | Final Appointment 1 | Assistant Commissioner at Delhi | | | Mutiny Service | Assistant Magistrate at Dehli. On hearing of the disturbances in the city on the early morning of Monday, May 11, Galloway went to his post at the Treasury, and only quitted it for a time to procure aid from the Main Guard at the Kashmir Gate, as the Sepoys of the Treasury Guard were almost in a state of mutiny, though up to that time they had not attacked him or broken into the strong room. The Officers at the gate, deserted by their men and many of them wounded, could give no assistance, and Galloway was repeatedly urged to remain and take his chance with them, as he could do no good by returning to the Treasury, and would certainly lose his life. He said he knew what the result would be, but it was his duty to stick to his post. He did so and stood on guard at the Treasury door, armed with a sword, one solitary Englishman among a mass of infuriated howling Sepoys, who soon overpowered and cut him down resisting to the last. |
