Roll of Honour - PUNJAB CAMPAIGN 1848 - 1849

The Sikh Army had been humiliated but not destroyed in the First Sikh War two years before. In April 1848 the Sikh Governor of the southern Punjab province of Multan, Diwan Mul Raj an Hindu, rebelled against the British Regent and all the Sikh troops at Multan joined him. This was the start of the Second Sikh War.

During the Second War the 29th Foot (Worcestershire Regiment) fought at the battles of Goojerat and Chilianwala. They suffered heavy casualties taking a line of Sikh guns.

Battle of Goorjerat

The 29th Foot were part of Mountain's Brigade in Major-General Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert's right Division. The 29th were successful in capturing the Sikh positions opposite Lulianee spiking a large number of Sikh artillery guns and rendering them ineffective.
