The Battle

After the Sikh army was defeated in the Battle of Mudki and the Battle of Ferozeshah, the British army, led by Sir Harry Smith, marched to relieve Ludhiana. The rear of his Anglo-Indian column was attacked near Baddowal by Sikh troops under Ranjur Singh. The British army lost baggage and stores. However a week later they defeated the Sikhs at the Battle of Aliwal^[1]
