Mary Anne, but there is little on record of his service there, other than the medal and its clasps. Of the `Charge of the Light Brigade, Robert H Murray, The History of the VIII King`s Royal Irish Hussars, Cambridge, 1928, quotes a letter, "R.S.M Harding, I am glad to say, was not out with us that day, although much to his annoyance… He was laid up with a boil on his leg". During the Indian Mutiny his "Statement of Services" shows him at the Siege and Capture of Notak, 30 March 1858, Major General Roberts; Capture of Chundaree 29 May 1858; Capture of Gwalior 17th, 18th, 19th June 1858, Major General Sir Hugh Rose; Battle of Sindwaha 19th October 1858, Major General Michel.

Signed B. Desahs, Colonel Comg. 8th Hussars". The Regiment was awarded 4 Victoria Crosses and 98 sabres for the charge and action at Gwalior, where the `warrior Queen`, the Rani of Jhansi was killed, dressed as a cavalry officer. Harding and six others were "specially mentioned in the despatches for their gallant conduct before Gwalior". Of his final action at Sindwaha the History records "Adjutant Harding, who was advancing singlehanded, attacked a group of desperate fanatics who were steadily retreating, halting occasionally and firing, refusing all quarter. He fell mortally wounded… [He had been] carried along in a dhooly ever since [and] died on the 23rd November, deeply lamented by the whole regiment, whose esteem his gallant and straightforward conduct had earned". A copied family paper states "Buried at Deepnaira, 14 Miles from Seronge".
