Cook, H - The Sikh Wars - The British Army in the Punjab 1845-49

Cooper, London, 1975. 240 pages, index, bibliography, apps, illustrations and sketch maps. The Anglo-British Army fought two wars with the Sikhs in the 1840s. Both wars saw hard-fought battles with heavy casualties on both sides. The outcome was that British power moved right up to the borders of the tribal territories of the soon the be famous North West Frontier and the Indian Army increasingly recruited Sikhs and other martial races from the Punjab and nearby areas.
