Captain Baird was on the right of the fighting line, and had only a small party of Gurkhas and men of the 4th Kashmir Rifles.

Captain Baird was placed in a dooly by Surgeon-Captain Whitchurch, and the party then attempted to return to the fort.

Surgeon-Captain Whitchurch then put Captain Baird upon his back and carried him some distance with heroic courage and resolution.

Surgeon-Captain Whitchurch gallantly rushed the position, and eventually succeeded in getting Captain Baird and the sepoys into the fort.

His VC is on display at the Lord Ashcroft collection in the Imperial War Museum, Chelsea, London.
