Tibet Expedition 1903-1904

Battle of Gyantse (5/6 July 1904) 

Following the battle of Tsechen a Tibetan peace negotiation arrived at Gyantsé to meet with Younghusband and MacDonald. However when the Tibetan delegation withdrew from the talks the British decided to attack the fort of Gyantsé as a demonstration of strength. 

Directed in person by MacDonald the storming party had sneaked into place during the early hours of 5 July to the base of the cliff on which the fort stood. The approach however was guarded by a line of houses fortified and manned by Tibetan Troops . On hearing the approach of the storming party the Tibetans manning the houses opened fire and a ferocious battle ensued throughout the hours of darkness with Tibetan artillery from the fort joining in. British artillery returning fire with a counter barrage. The Tibetans fought well but were hampered by their weapons which unlike the British did not use smokeless powder so every time they fired they gave away their positions. Slowly the Tibetan troops were driven back house by house, until by mid-day the houses guarding the front of the fort had been cleared. 

However, the main gates of the fort could not be stormed due to the volume of fire put down by Tibetan defenders on the fort walls. As the afternoon wore on the Royal Artillery ten pounder guns which had been engaging the fort managed to set its powder magazine on fire and caused a breach in the wall close to the right of the main gate. 

Immediately on seeing this Lieutenant Grant of the 1/8th Ghurka's with a handful of his men scaled the heights under heavy fire and with the utmost bravery led a charge into the breach and held it open long enough for the storming party to enter and drive the Tibetans out raising the Union Flag over the Citadel.

Tibetan losses were very heavy and included several high ranking Officers and Lamas. British losses amounted to 1 officer and 3 men killed, and 7 officers and 30 men wounded. The Tibetan force, pursued by flying columns sent by MacDonald abandoned hundreds of their wounded in their rush to escape. These were cared for in the British Field Hospital alongside British and Indian casualties. 

Lieutenant Grant, who had earlier been wounded in the Campaign and newly rejoined his unit was awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest award for gallantry for his capture of the breach.
