| Hodson, William Stephen Raikes. Adm. pens. (age 19) at TRINITY, May 7, 1840. [3rd] s. of [the Rev.] George (1805). B. Mar. 19, 1821, at Maisemore Court, Gloucs. School, Rugby (Dr Arnold). Matric. Michs. 1840; B.A. 1844. Commissioned in the Guernsey Militia. Joined the Hon. East India Co., 1845; Lieut., 1st European Bengal Fusiliers, 1846, and at once engaged in the Sikh War; served with distinction throughout the campaign on the Sutlej, and present at the battles of Mudki, Ferozeshah and Sobraon. Transferred to the 1st Bengal European Fusiliers, and was introduced to Sir Henry Lawrence with whom he formed a lifelong friendship. Adjutant of the Corps of Guides, 1847, in which service he 'gained the experience and displayed the powers which afterwards made him an unrivalled partisan leader.' Transferred to the Civil Department as Assistant Commissioner, 1849; stationed at Umritsar. From there he travelled in Cashmere and Tibet. Commandant of the Guide Corps, 1852. Tried before a court of inquiry, 1855, on charges of dishonesty and harsh treatment of the natives, and found guilty. On his appeal, a second inquiry was held, when he was fully cleared of the charges. Colonel Napier said, 'The investigation fully justified the confidence I have throughout maintained in his honour and uprightness.' But the second report was not at once communicated to his Commander-in-Chief, and Hodson was left for two years labouring under unjust imputations. Rejoined the 1st Fusiliers, and discharged his regimental duties 'with a zeal and energy that procured especial commendation.' After the outbreak at Meerut and the massacre of Delhi, May 10, 1857, ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to raise and command an entirely new regiment of irregular horse: this was known throughout the Mutiny as Hodson's Horse, 'of which it may be said that no single regiment did so much towards saving our Indian Empire.' With only fifty men he captured the King of Delhi at Humayoon's tomb, and the following day succeeded in forcing the surrender of Delhi. The Shahzadahs, Princes of Delhi, had taken refuge in Humayoon's tomb, but a large mob assembled and the situation threatened such extreme danger that Hodson felt compelled to shoot the three princes with his own hand. Subsequently Hodson's Horse went through much hard fighting, and he personally performed many brilliant exploits. On Mar. 11, 1858, he was shot through the chest while searching for concealed sepoys in the Begum's palace, Lucknow, and died of his wounds, Mar. 12, 1858. Buried at Lucknow. Married, Jan. 5, 1852, Susan, widow of John Mitford, Esq., of Exbury, Hants., and had issue. M.I., Lichfield Cathedral. See Memoir, by his brother, the Rev. George Hewitt (1836). (Rugby Sch.
