Gubbins was the financial commissioner of Oude. He served through the siege at Lucknow Gubbins did not get along well with Henry Lawrence and never forgave him for keeping the command of the Residency from him. The book is quite good though a number of authorities have claimed that it is biased and Gubbins too egotistical. Gubbins returned to India from England in 1858 and became a judge at Agra. There was an inquiry into his actions at Lucknow he again retired to England and in May of 1863 committed suicide"
