137: Egos, Madness & Traitors - Battle of Ferozeshah 1845 (1st Anglo Sikh War)

Send me a messageThe battle of Ferozeshah, fought during 1st Anglo-Sikh War in 1845, was battle of egos, madness and traitors.A farcical power struggle between the two most senior British officers, bayonet charges against cannon, British cavalry and artillery ordered off the field midway through the battle, and Sikh commanders snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.It’s almost comical, if it were not for the 5,000 men killed and wounded.Become a Patron by joining my Supporter's ClubSupport the show
