In contemporary records, he has been described as "a very good fellow, patient and attentive, of mild manners and gentlemanly appearance and demeanour." Before Duleep Si&#7749gh was to convert to Christianity, Guise was assigned to instruct him in the gospel as well, and he was one of those who signed the register of witnesses to the baptism of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Duleep Si&#7749gh. In 1853, Walter Guise received an offer from an indigo planter near Fatehga&#7771h to take charge of his plantation as a partner. When in 1857 the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257's house at Fatehga&#7771h was pillaged and most inmates killed by mutineers, Walter Guise was among the Europeans who lost their lives.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Ganda Singh, ed., <i>History of the Freedom Movement in the Panjab (Maharaja Duleep Singh Correspondence)</i>.
