Image description

‘Our Troops rushing into the entrenched camp at Ferozshah and finding the bodies of the 3rd Dragoons picketed like horses on the ground’, 1845. Watercolour by Ensign Bethune Donald Grant, 35th Bengal Light Infantry, 1845 circa. During the First Sikh War (1845-1846) on 21 December 1845, a British Indian force commanded by General Sir Hugh Gough encountered a Sikh army of around 40,000 troops led by General Lal Singh in an entrenched position at Ferozeshah. Gough’s 18,000 strong force attacked the defences and by evening only part of them had been taken. A renewed assault the following morning forced the Sikhs out, but at heavy cost to the British. A new Sikh army then arrived and Gough withdrew his weakened force to the entrenchments to await an attack, but the Sikhs withdrew, possible believing that they would not be able to eject the British and over estimating their strength and supplies. Whatever, the reason for the retirement, it was a lucky escape for Gough.
