A set of six pen, ink and watercolour studies: with descriptive titles:Six scenes in the life of Lieutenant Edward Cotgrave Parr Willoughby, 4th Punjab Rifles (killed during the Indian Mutiny 1858) aged 23. 2nd Son of Major General Michael Franklin Willoughby C.B. Inspector General of Military Stores for India.1. The Bivouack. Writing Home to much loved Friends.2. The Commander in Chiefs Quarters ... Approbation from Lord Clyde.3.

Rescue of the Body of Lieutenant Willoughby by Captain Cafe 4th Punjab rifles, assisted by 2 of the 42nd Highlanders 2 Native Officers and 2 Sowars of the Regiment in which one of the Highlanders, and one of the Sowars were killed. Each framed and glazed, 26 x 30 cm.Lt Edward Cotgrave Parr Willoughby 1834-1858 came from a Military family, his father was a Maj-General (see lots xxx and yyy), his brother a Lt General and for a time Military Secretary to the Bombay Government, he was one of the nine men who blew up the Delhi magazine on the 11th May 1857. Edward fought in the Crimean War, The Persian War 1856/57 and the Indian Mutiny. The report of his life in the Illustrated London News for 17th July 1858 was full of praise for the young Officer. '...career, though short, was brilliant, joined the Bombay army as a cadet of infantry in 1855, ... He was present at the second relief of Lucknow, where in the desperate attack of the Secunderbagh, he greatly distinguished himself, and brought his regiment out of action, and was honourably mentioned in the Commander-in-Chief and Governor General's despatches. At the battle of Cawnport, and at the siege and capture of Lucknow, he also behaved with daring gallantry. His commanding Officer and second in command being severely wounded in a street fight with the enemy, he was nominated to the temporary command of the Corps. On the movement of the troops from Lucknow his regiment (of which he was second in command) was attached to the column under General Walpole proceeding Northwards towards Bareilly ... On the 15th of April last the force approached the fort of Roodamow; and hearing that it was to be attacked, Lieutenant Willoughby left his dhooly and mounted his horse, and whilst gallantly leading his men to the assault was mortally wounded in the throat, but still bravely persisted in going forward till he sank from loss of blood, and died on the glacis. In the recovery of his body Captain Cope, his commanding officer, was severely wounded, and some of his men killed.'Other reports describe the Fort as Ruiya the jungle fort Nirpat Singh ' a petty land owner who seemed rebellious as long as rebellion was profitable the attack was a misjudgment as it was much stronger and more heavily defended than had been expected, the assailants being driven back with heavy loss including Willoughby. Kaye's and Mallinson are more damning of the attack on the Fort: 'He (General Walpole) did not, take the trouble to reconnoiter. The slightest examination would have shown him that, whilst the northern and eastern faces were strong ... the western and southern were weak ... he sent his men in a blundering hap-hazard manner against its strongest face! ... Presently, Captain Cafe came down with his Sikhs, the 4th Punjab Rifles. Without communicating with Grove, Cafe dashed into the ditch ...There his men, having no ladders, were shot down like dogs. It was marvelous that any escaped. Amongst the officers killed was Edward Willoughby a young officer of the 10th Bombay Native Infantry.' Cafe was eager to recover Willoughby's body and he and two Privates, Thomson and Spence, from the 42nd returned to the field of fire. Cafe was injured as was Spence who died two days later of his wounds. Thomson and Cafe received the ultimate bravery award for this acting of selfless bravery, the Victoria Cross.William Martin Cafe (1826-1906), later General. Victoria Cross awarded for 'Bearing away, under a heavy fire, with the assistance of Privates Thompson, Crowie, Spence and Cook, the body of Lieutenant Willoughby, lying near the ditch of the Fort of Ruhya, and for running to the rescue of Private Spence, who had been severely wounded in the attempt'. This award is in the collection of the National Army Museum in Chelsea. Alexander Thompson (c.1824-1880). Victoria Cross awarded for 'Daring gallantry, on the 15th April, 1858, when at the attack of the Fort of Ruhya, in having volunteered to assist Captain Groves, Commanding the 4th Punjab Rifles, in bringing in the body of Lieutenant Willoughby, of that Corps, from the top of the Glacis, in a most exposed situation, under a heavy fire'. This award is in the Black Watch Museum in Perth, Scotland.Edward Spence (1831-1858), 'He and Lance-Corporal Thompson, of that regiment, volunteered, at the attack of the Fort of Ruhya, on the 10th April, 1858, to assist Captain Cafe, commanding the 4th Punjab Rifles, in bringing in the body of Lieutenant Willoughby from the top of the Glacis. Private Spence dauntlessly placed himself in an exposed position so as to cover the party bearing away the body. He died on the 17th of the same month from the effects of the wound which he received on the occasion.' This award is in the Black Watch Museum in Perth, Scotland.Provenance believed to be with the family of Willoughby until recently entering a private collection.
