Battle Of Ally Ghur

The Battle of Ally Gurgh was fought during the Second Marhatta Wars (1803 - 1805) at Aligarh, India. The Aligarh fort, one of the strongest forts in India, was fortified and commanded by a first-rate French General, General Perron. During the wars it was laid under siege by the 76th Regiment, now known as the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. The contest was terrific in the ditches and intricate gateways of this fort, but the 76th were not to be deterred, were not to be denied; steadily, silently, resolutely, they forced their way through fire, steel, and blood, and never ceased until with a shout of victory the Colours of the 76th Regiment floated over the highest pinnacle of the fortress. This great success, of course, cost many valuable lives. Ally Ghur
