See J2664 : Nicholson statue, Lisburn. The relief on the plinth depicting Nicholson’s last moments during the Siege of Delhi. “In spite of this reverse, Nicholson was keen to press on into the city. He led a detachment down a narrow lane to try and capture the Burn Bastion, on the walls north of the Kabul Gate. Rebel soldiers held most of the flat rooftops and walled compounds, and guns mounted on the bastion fired grapeshot down the lanes between the houses. After two rushes were stopped with heavy casualties, Nicholson led a third charge and was mortally wounded.” LinkExternal link
