Conditions Were Changed.

Things were oddly reversed on one occasion during the Indian Mutiny. At the battle of Maharajpore, in 1843, Havelock led the Fifty-sixth Bengal Native infantry against the enemy. In 1857 he led a Sikh regiment against that very Fifty-sixth regiment, then in a state of mutiny against British rule. But, as the "Regiment" remarks, the Bengal Native infantry knew their old commander too well to wait for his onset.
