January 1846 CE

A Sikh detachment crosses the Sutlej near Aliwal when hostilities resume, threatening Gough's lines of supply and communications.

A division under Sir Harry Smith is sent to deal with them.

Sikh cavalry attack Smith continually on his march and capture his baggage, but at the Battle of Aliwal on January 28, 1846, Smith wins a model victory, eliminating the Sikh bridgehead.
