Charles Palmer (engineer)
Charles George Palmer, C.I.E., (15 October 1847 – 13 August 1940), civil engineer, was the last surviving man to hold the Lucknow medal for his role in the defence of the Residency in Lucknow during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
==Early life==
Palmer was born on 15 October 1847 at Jalandhar in the province of Punjab in north-west India. He was the son of General Henry Palmer of the 48th Native Infantry. The family were based at Lucknow when the siege began on 30 June 1857 and Palmer, then just nine years old, was a pupil at La Martinière College. In the Residency Palmer was put on routine duties which included grinding corn. After a few days he was attached to the battery of his brother-in-law, Captain Ralph Ouseley, and helped to carry ammunition and messages to the guards. On the second day of the fighting Palmer's 19-year-old sister, who had only recently arrived from England, was killed by a cannonball. She is commemorated by a tablet on the school walls. A second sister and her two small children were killed in the later stages of the hostilities. In 1858 after the relief of the garrison Palmer was sent to England to complete his education. He attended Sherborne School in Dorset for five years, leaving in 1863.
