EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment during the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-1846) as the British Army, led by General Sir Hugh Gough, crosses the Sutlej River in India on 10 February 1846. The Sutlej, a major river in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, served as a formidable barrier between the British and the Sikh forces. The photograph, taken in the 1840s by an unidentified photographer, depicts the soldiers and their horses wading through the river, their determined expressions and focused gaze reflecting the intensity of the battle that lay ahead. The horses, some with their riders in the water, display a similar sense of resolve as they make their way across the river. The First Anglo-Sikh War was a significant conflict between the British East India Company and the Sikh Empire, which began due to disputes over territorial claims and religious tensions. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Lahore, which granted the British control over several territories and marked the beginning of British influence in the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the courage and determination of the soldiers involved in the conflict. It also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the Sutlej River and the role it played in shaping the political landscape of India during the 19th century.
