An infantry officer's view of the fall of the Sikhs
The author of this book served with No 6 company of HM 24th
Regiment-an infantry regiment of the British Army-which saw much
service in the Second Sikh War and suffered greatly in the fighting
particularly at Chillianwalla. So there could hardly be a more
qualified writer-or one with closer connections to other
participants-to take on the task of reporting the war. At the
conclusion of the First Sikh War there remained a sense of business
unfinished. The Sikhs were yet masters of the Punjab and the Khalsa
remained one of the most formidable armies the Sub-Continent had
ever seen. Most importantly the centre of Sikh power, the seemingly
impregnable and daunting fortress of Mooltan remained defiant. Once
again the British Empire learnt the lesson of what a formidable foe
the Sikhs were as they joined battle with them at Ramnuggar,
Chillianwalla, Mooltan and Googerat. Archer takes us through this
campaign in compelling detail embellished by an insight only first
hand experience can provide.
