Its in District Gujrat (now in district Mandi Bahauddin). I have seen the memorial at the site of the Anglo-Sikh battle. Roughly 110 miles south west of Islamabad.

Gujranwala is not a story but a candy store of stories.” The delighted people of Gujranwala are rich in history and culture. I’ll love to read some more hidden stories of this city. Well done Miraj Sahib.

General Illahi Baksh, Maghe Khan, Imam Shan, Sultan Mahmood and Sardar Hukam Din.
In battle of Sabraon (First Anglo-Sikh War, Feb 1846), General Mewa Singh of Khalsa Cavalry and General Maghe Khan of Khalsa Artillery together repulsed three attacks of might British Army, who was led by officers experienced in Waterloo against Napoleon.
In second Anglo-Sikh war, battle of Chillianwalla (a villege in Distt. Rahim Yar Khan) was so fierce that contemporary British poet George Meredith wrote a full poem on it. He never saw this battle or ever visited India but just collected its horrific details from survivors in England. May people in Pakistani Punjab know their history and culture a bit more!
