The Late Brigadier-General Nicholson - from a photograph by Kilburn, 1857. Creator: Unknown.

The Late Brigadier-General Nicholson - from a photograph by Kilburn, 1857. British Army officer and colonial administrator who died during the Indian Rebellion. 'There cannot be the shadow of a doubt but that the salvation of the Punjaub (as regards the army) has been through the energetic exertions and firm will of Brigadier-General Nicholson, and to the decision and knowledge of character displayed by Sir John Lawrence in placing such men as Chamberlain and Nicholson over the heads of a host of seniors, old enough to be their fathers, but lacking, through age or the effect of climate, that foresight, decision, energy, and coolness in the hour of danger which at all times is so necessary in a commander, not only to enable him to collect his own ideas, but also to inspire confidence among those about him'.  From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
