| No. | 683 | | Surname | Hillersdon | | Christian Names | Charles George | | Dates at Haileybury | 1838-40 | | 4th Term | Persian Prize | | Presidency | Bengal | | Career in India | 1840-57 | | Place of Death | Killed at Cawnpore | | Date of Death | 1857 | | Final Appointment 1 | Magistrate and Collector of Cawnpore | | Mutiny Service | Collector of Cawnpore. This is not the place to record the events of the terribly anxious times passed by the Christians of Cawnpore previous to entering the so-called intrenchments, nowhere higher than three feet, which they did as a forlorn hope; nor the terrible suffering they there underwent; nor the cruel treachery of which the survivors were victims, trusting to the promised protection and safeguard of the accursed Nana. Suffice it to say that the brave and patient Hillersdon soon fell, killed by a round shot in the presence of his wife, she herself soon following him. |
