Description
English: Plate 8. British outpost at Rodawala, near the site of the battle of Sobraon. Location given below. FIRST EDITION.

Occupied by the British piquets on the 10th of February.
Sobraon is 1500 yards on the right
Plate 8 from "Recollections of India. Part 1. British India and the Punjab" by James Duffield Harding (1797-1863) after Charles Stewart Hardinge (1822-1894), the eldest son of the first Viscount Hardinge, the Governor General.
This depicts the outpost in advance of Rhodawala (Rode Jallewala). During the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845-46) platforms were built into these trees by Sikh soldiers so that sentries could watch the movement of British troops at Rhodawala. However, the British took possession of this outpost in February 1846. According to Charles Hardinge, the troops could hear "the light song and rolling note of the 'nukaruh' [kettle drum] at night."
