COMMUNIQUE OE THE VOLUNTEERS.
At a time when the organisations of the forces of the volunteers were not
completed, a party of 100 men in their ardent desire, without the permission
of the Commanding Officer, had voluntarily attacked Sabzabad on the afternoon
of the 30th Sha’aban (14th July) and reached the door of the latter place and
the wails of Tangak in an attack. Although there was constant firing from
the ship and the land trenches, they had no casualties and they gallantly killed
two British officers and 12 Indian sepoys Term used in English to refer to an Indian infantryman. Carries some derogatory connotations as sometimes used as a means of othering and emphasising race, colour, origins, or rank. who had come out and carried off
their arms.
W 7 hile they were engaged in ousting the Indian sepoys Term used in English to refer to an Indian infantryman. Carries some derogatory connotations as sometimes used as a means of othering and emphasising race, colour, origins, or rank. from the trenches,
the news reached the headquarters. As this trivial action was not with the
approval of the Commandant, a sowar In the East India Company army and later Indian Army, an ordinary native cavalryman or mounted cavalryman. was sent with orders calling them back.
They were very offended and thought that if they had been allowed to continue
their operations for another two hours, they would have occupied Sabzabad
and Tangak.
It is a matter for surprise that, when even the small party had departed
hack to Gurak 4 hours after sunset on the night of the 1st Ramzan (13th
July), the English were constantly firing from the ship and land up to 4 hours
after sunrise on the following day, the 1st Ramzan.
Strange to say, the English were all in an anxious mood, because according
to local news from Bushire one shell from the ship had struck the Telegraph
Office and another one Sabzabad, the Consulate, demolishing two pillars in the
Telegraph buildings and a part of the stairs in the Consulate. These acts are
evidently the outcome of their careless measures resulting from their des
peration.
(A small attack without the information of the headquarters.)
