On 13th April 1868, a storming party from the 33rd Regiment, supported by Bengal and Bombay Sappers and Miners advanced on the gate. Soldiers of the 33rd scaled the wall and forced the gate. The Abyssinian troops in Magdala thereupon surrendered. Emperor Theodore III, rather than surrender, shot himself.
