The Last Charge at Gwalior

The Rani rides out of burning Jhansi at midnight with her son tied to her back. She joins Tantia at Kalpi, takes the great fortress of Gwalior without a shot, crowns Rao Sahib Peshwa — and on June 18, 1858, at Kotah-ki-Serai, charges a regiment of Hussars sword-in-each-hand and dies fighting at twenty-nine.
