The Battle of Saragarhi - stop motion

On the morning of September 12, 1897, Saragarhi, a signaling post was surrounded by about 10,000 Pashtun tribesmen. The small post was manned by only 21 men from the British Indian Army. They were able to repel repeated attacks but the Pashtuns eventually broke through one of the walls. Every defender died, but they had held their position for over 6 hours and killed 180 enemy men and wounded many more. During the battle, the signalman at Saragarhi had sent an account of the events to the nearby fort Lockhart. music from: AudioNetwork smoke effects by: videoeffech and freefootageparadise
