Lieutenant J C Haughton, 31st Bengal Native Infantry, 1842.
Coloured lithograph after Lieutenant Vincent Eyre, Bengal Artillery, 1842 (c).
John Colpoys Haughton (1817-1887) served as a midshipman in the Royal Navy before being invalided from the service in 1835. Two years later he joined the Bengal Army. During the 1st Afghan War (1839-1842) he was Adjutant of the 4th Gurkhas of Sha Shujas force, winning great fame during the defence of Charikar, a town near Kabul, which was besieged by a huge Afghan force in November 1841. Haughton lost a hand during the siege and after returning to the Afghan capital was taken hostage by Akbar Khan on 29 December 1841. Haughton was eventually released in September 1842 when Major-General Sir George Pollocks Army of Retribution arrived in Kabul. He later undertook regimental duties in the Andaman Islands and Assam, where he joined both the Khasi-Jaintia expedition of 1863 and the Garo expedition of 1872-1873. From 1865 until 1873 he also served as Commissioner of Cooch-Behar. Appointed a Companion of the Star of India (CSI) in 1866, Haughton returned to Britain in 1873. He was promoted to lieutenant-general in 1882.
