A mid-19th-century painting by Charles Becher Young showing the [battle of Chillianwala](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2140/battle-of-chillianwala/) on 13 January 1849 during the [Second Anglo-Sikh War](https://www.worldhistory.org/Second_Anglo-Sikh_War/) (1848-9) between the British [East India Company](https://www.worldhistory.org/East_India_Company/) (EIC) and the Sikh [Empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/empire/). The EIC did not gain a decisive victory due to the high cost in men and casualties but did, ultimately, win the [war](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/War/) (National Army Museum, London)
