The 9th Lancers at Chilleanwallah by Stanley Wood [Postcard]

 Artist: Stanley Wood [Browse all Stanley Wood]

During the Second Sikh War members of the 9th Lancers regiment
joined Sir Hugh Gough's army at Ferozepore, fighting at the
Battle of Ramnuggur before marching on Chillianwallah. The
battle was costly for the British, the Sikh forces eventually
driven off, making their escape along with their artillery.
This lead to heavy criticism being levied at Sir Hugh Gough
for allowing this to occur at a cost of the lives of British troops.
