The Battle of Sobraon on 10 February 1846 was the last of four major victories for the British East India Company (EIC) against the Sikh Empire during the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-6). Lieutenant-General Sir Hugh Gough (1779-1869) commanded the largest army yet seen in the campaign and, despite heavy losses in attacking the Sikhs' well-fortified positions, won the battle and with it the war. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2136/battle-of-sobraon/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #EastIndiaCompany #Anglo-SikhWars #BattleOfSobraon
