The Battle of Sobraon fought on the 10th February 1846, was the fourth, last and decisive battle of the First Anglo-Sikh War.

At the end of that bloody morning, over 12,000 men had been killed or wounded and the last formidable army opposing British rule in India had been defeated.

This is part 4 in my series on the First Anglo Sikh War.

Tommy Macpherson, the "Kilted Killer", was a British World War 2 commando.

Parachuted into France, he worked with the resistance blowing up bridges, taking on an elite panzer regiment and convincing an German army of 23,000 to surrender.

Once, having sabotaged a German fuel dump he cooly sat at a nearby cafe in full Highland uniform including kilt, drinking a glass of wine.

He caused so much havoc that the Germans placed a 300,000 Franc bounty on his head. But, even that couldn’t stop the man they called the “kilted killer.”
