“Ambush at Koragh”

One of the earliest regiments raised by the British the 14th Sikhs first saw service during the Mutiny of 1857. They would go on to fight on all fronts from Mesopotamia to Gallipoli and Egypt . This year's lecture by Brian Russell will be an illustrated account of a North West Frontier action, which would see a record number of gallantry awards

“ Two consecutive masses of swordsmen were repulsed, reminding them of the folly of attacking the Sikhs shoulder to shoulder”
