Lindsay describes the Battle of Saragarhi (one of history`s great last stands) and the aftermath.

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. This letter written three weeks after Saragarhi gives an insight to the Saragarhi post by a soldier arriving days after the battle^ giving the aftermath of the battle at first hand by a British officer who was part of the campaign.
