             At Nine Am, on 25th April 1815, Captain Laze returned to Katarmal with his army from Gannath. After four hours, Nicholas marched towards Sitolidhar (Almora) for attacking on Gurkha Camps. Nicholas advanced with first flank battalion of fourth Indian Regiment to North Sitolidhar.  He wanted fire Mortars for vacating Gurkha from their camps. On his right, parallel, L.C Gardner marched with irregular army.  The idea was vacating Gurkha from South Sitolidhar.
 The path from Katarmal to Sitolidhar hillock was narrow and full of pebbles. After crossing Kosi River, Nicholas disciplined his army in line. Nicholas was having canons, mortars, and howitzer   on elephants. After two hours, by walking on steep territory, Nicholas reached at Sitolidhar. European officers were in front. As soon as Angad Sardar saw British army descending from Katarmal  for moving to  Sitolidhar hill, he informed to Bamshah. Bamshah kept only one ‘Patti’ army with him and he  sent balance soldiers with Sardar Bhavani Baksh for helping Angad Sardar. Bmashah could not sent more soldiers. Rangelu Sardar was to defend Lalmandi fort and soldiers were necessary at Chandalekh too. 
        First, Nicholas ordered for firing Howitzer on Gurkha. However, analyzing self confidence of his army, Nicholas decided direct humanly attack on Gurkha soldiers. The soldiers of Feipul captured tow three small camps (Bada) . Gurkha soldiers ran away from Bada. Gurkha soldiers left Janjal canon in their Bada (camp with wood or stone fence). According to letter of Bamshah for Amar Singh Thapa, Gurkha soldiers could not resist gun /canon fires of British army.

                At the same time, British army captured two more trenches of Gurkha. A British army soldier Dhaukal Singh showed special bravery. The army led by L.C Gardner captured three Gurkha trenches of Sitolidhar. Fifty British irregular army soldiers of fourth regiment remained in Sitolidhar and balance followed running Gurkha soldiers. There were five roads joining at Kalamtiya . British captured fenced Gurkha camp at Kalamtia. Therefore, the communication line between Almora and Sitolidhar was cut. Perhaps, Narshah Chauntara was commander of Kalamtia Camp. According to Bamshah Gurkha soldiers tried their best for defending Kalamtia camp. Nicholas praised the bravery of Indian soldiers of British army.
            On that night, Nicholas established his camp at Pokharkhal fort. The length and width of that fort was 60 yard. Gurkha soldiers vacated that fort.  Defeated Gurkha soldiers ran away towards Almora. British army soldiers reached near Almora following running Gurkha soldiers. British army soldiers camped at Haridungari hillock above Pokharkhal. 
               Then 250 fourth regiment soldiers were sent with flank companies to south of Almora city.
    Bamshah tried his best for defending Almora and Lalmandi forts. At the same time Angad Sardar and a few commanders reached to Almora. Bamshah instructed 30 soldiers to fight by Khukari. However, Gurkha soldiers could not defend. British army took shelter at Deepchand temple yard. From there, British army started firing by two Howitzers. By six PM, British army started firing below Almora fort.
  Bamshah sent message to Kaji Bhandari that he should attack on British army at Haridungari in midnight.  Bamshah sent message that as soon you attack Gurkha would attack on British army at Deepchand temple.

                            Struggle by Gurkha Commander Chamu Bhandari

                   However, Chamu Bhandari was not ready for surrendering his struggle. Chamu Bhandari struggled for whole night for capturing Sitoldhar hill. British army officers and their Indian soldiers were also not ready for leaving captured Sitoldhar.   British army failed three attacks by Gurkha soldiers. Brawny and Mohan Singh exhibited unbelievable bravery. British renamed Sitolidhar as Brawny Hill. Nicholas offered a Sword sent by Hastings for the bravest most soldiers. British Commanders offered an Appreciating Certificate to Mohan Singh (Preamble).
             As per Gurkha records, British army lost a lieutenant and 98 sepoys in attack by Chamu Bhandari.  Gurkha officers Jabar Adhikari and Mastram Thapa were killed in the battle of Sitoldhar at night. After L.C Gardnwer came on scene, Sardar Ransur Karki , a couple of Jamadar and 25 Gurkha soldiers lost their lives.  Bamshah sent a troop under Jasmadan Thapa for helping Chamu Bhandari but they ran away in between.  In morning, Chamy Bhadari and his soliders had to go away from Sitoldhar.

                Inspired by ballyhoo in Sitoldhar, Gurkha soldiers of Almora Fort came out and attacked on British advance army and   tried to displace Howitzers in Deepchand temple. The wall of temple was low of height; Gurkha soldiers started jumping the wall and entered into temple yard.  British army soldiers fired guns and attacked other Gurkha soldiers by Gun bayonets. One Gurkha soldier was killed inside and other fled from temple. British army started firing Mortar in midnight.
        The fog was dense on that night and visibility was zero.  By firing of guns and mortars many Gurkha soldiers died but British soldiers were also killed by British army as it was not possible for British soldiers to recognize in foggy night. In early morning of 25th April, Lieutenant Taple came out of Temple for finding the sheltering place of Gurkha. He was killed by gun fire by a Gurkha soldier. Around 210 British army personnel were killed on that night.
           Nicholas was restless and worried commander.  It was non ending night for him. When there was sun rise in hill region, he got information that all the British camps are safe and Gurkha went back to shelters. Nicholas was aware that his soldiers are hungry for 24 hours. He arranged bread (Dabal Roti) , butter and tea and  he himself went to camps to see that his soldiers get food. He also distributed roasted gram and gud to soldiers .His subordinate Lieutenant Hey made understood that Nicholas (lat Sab) was peased by bravery of each soldier. From that day, Nicholas became darling of Bengal Army.

                          By: Bhishma Kukreti (A History Student)

         In morning around 8.30Am, when the guns, gun powder, and weapons for British army reached to Almora from Katarmal, war again started. Lieutenant Winfield was instructed for capturing King Palace, Almora by taking his army from Deepchand temple towards Almora Fort. The King Palace was in between Deepchand Temple and Almora Fort. The King Palace was big building squared and two story building. There was eight feet high stonewall. The Gurkha soldiers fired on British soldiers from the palace. However, British soldiers jumped the wall and reached inside Palace.   British soldiers reached upper story though steps. Eight or ten Gurkha soldiers ran away from other side. Till that time, 6 ponds canon was brought there. British army fired on a King Palace wall. The wall broke down and more British soldiers entered into Palace. A Canon was kept there.
          Almora Fort was 70 yards away from King Palace.
British army was firing Guns from Deepchand Temple. Bullets were fired to Almora fort.  Gurkha soldiers ran away towards Lalmandi Fort. Nicholas ordered soldiers for entering into Almora Fort from those windows through which Gurkha soldiers were coming out. However, windows were tightly closed by Gurkha soldiers. Gurkha soldiers fired and threw stones on British soldiers.
                                                   End of the War   

               Bamshah could not continue war. His soldiers were dissatisfied due to hunger and they did not get salary for months. Gurkha soldiers were faithful but outsiders deceived Gurkha Kingdome and at the crucial time, outsiders left Gurkha army.  Gurkha army was not having sufficient resources for heading on with resourceful British army. Bamshah consulted his deputies as Angad, Chamu Bhandari, Jasmadan Thapa and even Hearsay. After consultation , Bamshah decided to end war. At nine in morning, Bamshah showed white flags a symbol of ending war. Bamshah sent his faithful subordinate for requesting british commander for stopping firing and attack. That subordinate was having a letter from Bamshah and other letter from Hearsay for Nicholas.

               At the end of March 1815, when British army led by Lieutenant Colonel Gardner was waiting for Regular Army arrival at Katarmal Camp, Edward Gardner requested Bamshah that if Nepalese army was ready to end war without fight and was ready for handing over Almora to British, British army would permit Nepalese army for crossing Kali River for heading to Nepal. However, Bamshah was not ready for the treaty at that moment. Then, on 26th April 1815, Bamshah was ready for the treaty on the same conditions. Edward Gardner was not interested for posing hard conditions. Therefore Edward Gardner sent Lieutenant Colonel Gardner for discussing Treaty Conditions with Bamshah.
  Bamshah put condition that let that Nepalese army be permitted to march to Himachal that was sent from Kathmandu for helping Amar Singh Thapa. Nicholas refused for agreeing the condition. On 27th April 1815, Bamshah agreed for releasing Hearsay. On that same day, Bamshah signed on the Kumaon Treaty with his three army deputies. The treaty was as –
On Thursay, 4 Baishakh, Sanvat 1872, the Treaty letter was signed between Chautra Bamshah, Kaji Chamu Shah , Caiptain ANgad Sardar and Jasmadan Thapa with lieutenant Colonel Gardner who was representing Nicholas and Sir Edward Gardner the representative of Governor General, The agreement is as-
1-The Gurkha soldiers and commanders would vacate Almora Forts and all Garhis (Fort) of Kumaon region.

2- The soldiers of this fort and other forts would be allowed for taking their properties as- weapons, guns, gun powders etc and personal properties for crossing Kali River.
3- Gurkha Soldiers could cross any suitable and convenient ways for crossing Kali River. British Army would arrange for food for Gurkha soldiers and loading the goods of Gurkha soldiers for reaching the decided destinations.
4- Today, Gurkha army would hand over Lalmandi Fort to British Army.
  On that day, British army entered into Lalmandi Fort with loud Gun Firings. Bamshah released Hearsay.  Bmashah ordered Gurkha army men for vacating all Garhis (Forts or fortes) of Kumaon. On 25th April 1815,

        Jasmadan Thapa reached to British camp with letter of Bamshah on the evening of same day. That letter was for Amar Singh Thapa, Ranjor Singh Thapa and other commanders in western region. Bamshah requested that let that letter reached to Ranjor Singh at Jaithok.
             Bamshah described the wars at Gannath, Sitoli and Lalmandi. At the end he illustrated Kumaon treaty as follows-
            We all four  ( Bamshah, Chamu Bhandari, Angad Sardar and Jasmadan Thapa) discussed and thought about the situation. We have weapons in ample quantity. However, the irregular (outsiders) deceived us. When anybody showed trust on somebody and that person deceived nobody can do anything. The real Gurkha soldiers were patriotic and outsiders became trustless. That was why , we thought not to spend the resources and power of the King. Gardner told that after ending war we (Gurkha ) should cross Kali River and we should write letter to King that he should appoint an advocate who would visit Governor General for deciding treaty conditions. In Kumaon, British are preparing conditions. There was cordial relationship between British and Gurkha commanders. You also return from West.  We are going to east by crossing Kali River. Have treaty with David Ochterloni and come back with your weapons and materials. We shall advice to King for appointing advocate for discussing with Governor General for treaty, Gardner sent that letter to David Ochterloni.
          Gurkha Commanders of Shrinagar Garhwal refusing Surrender 

            Gurkha soldiers of various Garhis of Kumaon obeyed the advice of Bamshah and surrendered before British army. The Nepalese soldiers at Naithana Garhi, Kumaon also surrendered.  The Gurkha soldiers of Lobhagarhi already vacated long back. There were Nepalese soldiers in Langur Garhi, Nagpur, Painkhanda and Shrinagar of Garhwal. Maximum Nepalese soldiers were in Shrinagar Garhwal. Bamshah wished that the Nepalese soldiers of Garhwal would also be given same facilities for going to Nepal region as given to Gurkha soldiers of Kumaon.
      Nicholas instructed his army for capturing Alaknanda and Pindar River valleys. Nicholas ordered his army to treat Gurkha well when they surrender. However, Nepalese commander Kaji Bakhtwar Singh Basnet s and soldiers were not ready for surrendering before British army till they get instruction from Amar Singh Thapa.

             It was decided that Bamshah with his army would reach Doti by crossing Kali River at Jhulaghat within ten days.  On 3oth April 1815, Bamshah started his journey from Almora for Doti. Mostly regular Nepalese soldiers were with Bamshah. Around 300 Kumaoni soldiers of Nepalese court entered into British army.
               The road from Almora to Doti was via Jageshwar, Gngolighat, Pithoragarh and Jhulaghat. Nepalese soldiers with Bamshah were supposed to cross Kali River at Jhulaghat by 11th May 1815. However, Bamshah did not go ahead from Pithoragarh. It was decided that Lieutenant Colonel will go with Bamshah up to Jhulaghat. On 11th May, Bamshah reached to Gardner that he did not receive the reply from Nepal court in response to his letter to Nepal Court. Bamshah shooed his worries about reply from Nepal court.
