Rh In the early morning (June 19th) Sir Hugh Rose moved with General Stuart's Brigade to the left of the Gwalior Rock, where it was not precipitate; covering the movement by sending the 25th Native Infantry, well supported, round the same sort of ground on the right, whence they could scramble up the rock above the gateway of the fort. Here Lieutenant Rose, son of Rose of Kilravock, commanding the advanced skirmishers, caught sight of a depression of the ground where the second gate into the fort was situated. Collecting his skirmishers into line, he stormed it, effecting a capture as successful as it was bold; but paying for his gallantry with his life.

Sir Hugh Rose now sent an order to Brigadier-General Napier to pursue the enemy as far and as closely as he could. This Napier did most effectually.
