Important Battles question: Which British commander directed the Delhi Field Force during the final assault on Delhi in September 1857?

The source-backed, question-specific record explains: Archdale Wilson commanded the Delhi Field Force during the final operations. John Nicholson led an assaulting column and was mortally wounded, making him a prominent figure, but saying that he alone captured Delhi confuses a major tactical role with overall command. This evidence establishes the historical relationship required in this Important Battles item. A correct solution must preserve the exact battle, date, participants, commander, location, outcome or significance requested by the stem. Option A gives Major-General Archdale Wilson and satisfies every condition stated in the question. The remaining choices—John Nicholson alone, Henry Lawrence and Hugh Rose—do not satisfy the complete requirement. Depending on the stem, a distractor may name a real commander but attach the wrong title, use a related event involving another power, reverse a correct association, or present a correct statement when the question specifically asks for the incorrect match. Replaying that method for this Important Battles question confirms Major-General Archdale Wilson without relying on option position.
