Julia, Lady Inglis

Julia Selina, Lady Inglis (19 April 1833 – 3 February 1904) was the daughter of Frederic Thesiger, 1st Baron Chelmsford, and wife of Major-General Sir John Eardley Inglis, who commanded the British troops at the Siege of Lucknow in 1857.

She kept a diary of her life during the siege, which was published as The Siege of Lucknow: a Diary.

She aimed to give "a simple account of each day's events (which) may give a clear idea of what was done by the garrison under (her husband's) command".
