EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Monument recently erected in Lichfield Cathedral, Staffordshire, in honor of the 80th Regiment of Foot, also known as the Staffordshire Volunteers. The monument, created by the skilled chisel of Peter Hollins, is a striking blend of black marble and white marble, showcasing Egyptian architecture with an Egyptian sphinx atop. The centerpiece of the monument is an ample military trophy, adorned with the arms of the Marquis of Anglesey, the founder of the regiment. The inscription on the monument lists the names of the brave officers and men of the 80th Regiment of Foot who made the ultimate sacrifice in the actions of Moodkee, Buddewal, Allewal, and Ferozesha during the First Anglo-Sikh War. These battles were fought between the forces of the East India Company and the army of the Sikh Empire of the Punjab. The monument also honors those who died from their wounds while serving with the army of the Sutlej in India. The Battle of Sobraon, the decisive battle of the First Anglo-Sikh War, was fought on 10 February 1846. The valor and bravery of the 80th Regiment of Foot were instrumental in securing a victory for the East India Company, marking the end of the conflict. This monument serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifices and the rich history of the regiment.
