Légende

Tombs of English officers at Guzerat, [India], 1864. 'The Guzerat district is distinguished as being the battle-field of British conquest in the Punjaub. Here took place the engagement at Sudoolapore, in December, 1848, followed by the sanguinary battle of Chillianwallah, and ending with the fight at Guzerat, where the Sikhs lost the kingdom they had won and consolidated eighty-five years before...Our Illustration represents the tombs of some of the [British] officers and men who fell in the battle at Guzerat. These graves are all inclosed by a substantial masonry wall, and are kept in good preservation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
