When the Valiant 21 Sikhs Battled 10,000 Men

One of the most incredible last stands in history occurred when 21 Sikhs under the command of the British fought against an army of over 10,000 men. Havildar Ishar Singh and his men decided they would buy time for the British by holding their position against incredible odds of an army of more than 10,000. It’s an amazing story of bravery in a battle that was documented as the Sikhs relayed information to the British using a Heliograph. In addition, the British could observe from another fort as this ultimate act of heroism played out.
