Kashmir gate

M68J+F87, Church Rd, Kashmere Gate, Delhi, 110006

Mughal gate whose stone bears bullet marks from the 1857 siege and a celebrated Victoria Cross mission.

This guide to Kashmir Gate in Delhi centers on the morning of the fourteenth of September, eighteen fifty-seven, when British sappers under Lieutenant Duncan Home crossed under fire to reach this Mughal-built gate during the siege of the city. You'll hear about Lieutenant Philip Salkeld and Corporal Burgess as the mission unfolds, and about the four Victoria Crosses later awarded for what happened here. The gate itself dates to Shah Jahan's seventeenth-century capital.
