Battle of Hyderabad 24th March 1843

Battle of Hyderabad
24th March 1843

Battle of Hyderabad, 24th March 1843

Battle of Hyderabad March 24th 1843.

After the British Victory at Meanee (also spelt Miani) General Sir Charles Napier continued his advance to the Indus River and attacked the Sind Capital of Hyderabad. Scinde was defended by 20,000 troops under the command of Shir Mohammed. Napier with the support of artillery stormed the city with a force of only 6,000 men. The Baluchistanis resistance collapsed and were routed and Scinde came under British rule.

Sir Charles Napier led a small force of 2,500, consisting of native infantry and cavalry and one British regiment, The Cheshire Regiment, against the Baluchi Army of the Ameers of Scinde. The desert fortress of Emaun Ghur was destroyed and then, on the 17th February 1843, Napier's small force defeated 30,000 Baluchis at Meeanee. A month later the Baluchis were defeated again at Hyderbad. The province of Scinde fell into British hands and the Cheshire Regiment gained the honours of Meeanee, Hyderbad and Scinde. The honours of Meeanee and Hyderbad are shared with some Indian Regiments. That of Scinde is borne by The Cheshire Regiment alone.
