Spink, London 2006During the 1st Afghan War 1839-42, the British had made use of the Scinde territories which lay across the River Indus.&nbsp; Wanting to keep control of them after the war, they resorted to the common expedient of replacing the ruler with their own nominee.&nbsp; In retaliation, the Baluchis then attacked Hyderabad. The ensuing campaign was carried out swiftly under the able Napier who completed the conquest and annexation of the Scinde in six months.The first operation of the campaign was the destruction of the fortress of Imamgarah, 15th of January. Situated deep in the desert, it was an example to the Amirs that no stronghold, however remote or strong, was immune from attack.&nbsp; On this occasion Napier made a remarkable dash with about 350 men of the 22nd Foot, mounted on Camels, and about 200 of the Scinde Horse.&nbsp;The Resident of Hyderabad, Major Jame Outram, in attempting to arrange a peaceful solution with the Amirs, was besieged in his Residency, 15th of February.&nbsp; A company of the 22nd Foot held off 8,000 Baluchis for four hours before successfully withdrawing to the ships Planet&nbsp;and Satellite&nbsp;and joining Napier.&nbsp; On the 17th of February, Napier, with 3,000 men, attacked and defeated a force of 30,000 at Meeanee.&nbsp; The action lasted four hours and in that time 2,000 Baluchis fell.&nbsp; Napier’s loss amounted to 62 killed and 194 wounded (22nd Foot: 24 Killed, 58 wounded).Following the Battle, the Amirs surrendered, with the exception of Shere Mohomed, who remained at large with a considerable force.&nbsp; Napier entered Hyderabad, on the 20th of March, with 5,000 men to confront Mahomed with over 25,000 at Dubba, on the outskirts.&nbsp; Mahomed was heavily defeated and suffered over 4,000 casualties.&nbsp;Napier’s losses numbered 39 killed and 231 wounded (22nd Foot: 23 Killed, 129 wounded).By now Napier had marched over 600 miles with never more than 5,000 men and had defeated an enemy of around 60,000.&nbsp;Between June and August, he then added another 280 miles in a consolidating operation during which he dispersed many thousand Baluchis.&nbsp; With the victory at Dubba, the power of the Amis was broken and the conquest of the Scinde accomplished.&nbsp;The Scinde Medal with Reverse Meeanee to the 22nd Foot only 65 Medals awarded&nbsp;Mark Smith MAJanuary 2026
