It was Cawnpore that came to symbolize the horror of the mutiny for the British and without doubt what transpired there in the summer of 1857 was a major factor in the thirst for vengeance which seemed to drive the British troops as they fought to reverse the mutineers initial successes.

Cawnpore!" as their warcry and punishments meted out to captured mutineers were executed with Cawnpore in mind.
