              Edward Gardner had information that as soon as British army would enter into Kumaon the Kumaon People would revolt against Gurkha/Nepal rulers. Colonel Gardner was aware that it was better to attack before the rebellion sentiments of Kumaunis calm down against Gurkha/Nepal rulers.  When Governor General was visiting north States, Gardner informed his friend Adam that Kumaunis were waiting for British Army.
 The cosine of Edward Gardner was Lieutenant Colonel William Gardner who in 1795, worked with British army under Earl of Mayoral. Hastings was his colleague.
