Arriving in India he was posted to 1st Bombay European Fusiliers and served in the Punjab at Mooltan and Goojerat . Promoted to Lieutenant in 1853 and transferred to the 3rd Bombay Europeans. During the Crimean War he served as a Brigade Major to 1st Infantry Div of the Turkish Contingent, on his return he was appointed Director of the Land Transport Corps of the Persian Expeditionary Force. On the outbreak of the Mutiny he was promoted to Post Master of the Central India Field Force under Sir Hugh Rose, he distinguished himself in action, twice mentioned in despatches and was three times recommended for the Victoria Cross, promoted Captain and Brevet Major 1861, finally Major 1864. He died 26th November 1865 in Alexandria whilst on leave. Indian Mutiny Campaign: Lieutenant William Armstrong served throughout the Central India campaign with great distinction. He was mentioned twice in the London Gazette for Gallantry and distinguished conduct , the first time being at Lohari (LG 28/7/1858), in which he is also listed as being wounded, and secondly for the Battle of Betwa and the Siege and storming of Jhansi (LG 10/8/1858), amongst other books the Regimental History of the Leinsters contains numerous details of Armstrong during the campaign of which the following are extracts: During the Battle of Betwa… ‘many of the enemy, however, preserving their resolution and courage gathered in masses in ravines and nullahs and fought desperately to the end. Some of the skirmishers of the 3rd Europeans now came up, led by Lieut. Armstrong, and reached a nullah held by a band of rebels who were inflicting heavy casualties. Roaring out ‘Who’ll follow Bill Armstrong?’ the officer rushed down the nullah, followed immediately by the men, and in a moment the whole rebel band was bayoneted though not without some loss on our side… Lieut Armstrong was really Postmaster of the Central India Field Force, but what ordering or Providence relegated him to such a humdrum appointment is a mystery. He was constitutionally unable to keep out of a fight if one was going on anywhere near the Field Post Office. Sir Hugh Rose was a strict disciplinarian with stern views as to an officer sticking to his own job, but he knew and respected a brave man when he saw him. He mentions Armstrong’s dashing exploit in his despatch, adding – not without dryness ‘This officer is Postmaster of the Force but his zeal always leads him into action where he does good service on these occasions which required bold decision’. The storming of Jhansi ‘The Postmaster of the Central India Field Force had taken a day off to enjoy the pleasure of being in the thick of things at the Battle of Betwa and might now be expected to deal with the accumulated arrears of work. But with the escalade of a fortress going on just outside his office not all the peremptory provisions of the Standing Orders of the Central India Field Force nor all the postal regulation in Asia could keep Lieut. Armstrong at his desk. In the darkness of the assembly and preliminary march he seems to have escaped observation, but later when the 100 Europeans from the reserve were sent up to the officer in command, they met a dhooly being carried back. Enquiring of the soldier in charge as to the occupant he was told ‘Sure its poor Mr Armstrong, he’s gone at last’ The officer passed on, but a moment later he heard a great commotion behind and on looking back saw a figure with blood and dirt emerge violently from the dhooly and with blood curdling oaths in Hindi and English proceeded to belabour the native bearers for all he was worth. It was Bill Armstrong who had slipped into the columns, taken part in the first rush, had been blown up and then hit on the head with a brick. Imagining probably that he was being taken back to the field post office he showed considerable resentment to this curtailment of his liberty. Sir Hugh Rose, after this seems to have abandoned all hope of securing an efficient postal service for his force and started recommending Armstrong for the Victoria Cross instead. This he did three times. They were a well-matched pair, Major General Sir Hugh Rose and Lieut. Armstrong – each thrice recommended for this high distinction, from which each was barred by what seems unnecessary red tape. This group comes with further research of Armstrong’s service, and is a group of medals to an intriguing character, a Postmaster who loved nothing more than a fight, and showed great courage on each occasion.
