Lindsay describes the Battle of Saragarhi (one of history`s great last stands) and the aftermath. He says that ‘Saragarhi is an awful sight which 21 Sikhs behaved so admirably.and the place is anything but sanitary^ as of course not much burying could be done.’ He goes on describe the current military situation and to complain of the intense cold and the lack of water and proper clothes. He talks of the strategic positions and engagements on the range^ `The 36th Sikhs marched over from Gulistan (4 miles) this morning carrying the standard they had captured from the enemy – they are a splendid corps and have made a great name for themselves.` An interesting insight into the fighting on the North-West Frontier`s most famous post.

The battle occurred in the North-West Frontier Province^ now named the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and is part of Pakistan. The contingent of the twenty-one Sikhs from the 36th Sikhs was led by Havildar Ishar Singh. They all chose to fight to the death. Considered by some military historians as one of history`s great last-stands.
