East Indian Company
Medal for the 1st Anglo Sikh War
"In the weeks that followed,
those who had survived Gujrat were ordered to lay down there
arms. During one act of surrender, Brigadier-General Colin
Campbell was struck by the pathos and dignity of one old
warrior who put down his musket, placed his hands together
in a salute, and cried out, 'Aj Ranjit Singh mar gaya' (Today
Ranjit Singh is dead)."
