SOBRAON , a decisive
battle
  in the first
Sikh
  War (see
SIKH
  WARS). It was fought on the 16th of
February
  1846, between the British (Is ,000) under Sir Hugh
Gough
  and the Sikhs (20,000) under Tej Singh and Lal Singh. The Sikhs had fortified them-selves in a bend on the left
bank
  of the Sutlej, with the river in their
rear
 . The
battle
  began with a two
hours
 ' artillery
duel
 , in which the Sikh guns were the more powerful, and the British heavy guns expended their
ammunition
 . Then the
infantry
  advanced with the bayonet, and after a fierce struggle took the Sikh entrenchments. The Sikh losses were estimated at from 5000 to 8000. This battle ended the first Sikh War.
