He saw active service in several expeditions beyond the Indus, and participated in the Mult&#257n and Kashm&#299r campaigns. In one such campaign on the northwest frontier, he received thirteen sword-cuts and one bullet wound after making a most gallant stand, almost alone, against a large body of the Af<u>gh</u>&#257ns. When the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 heard of Sult&#257n Si&#7749gh's crippled state, he had him conveyed to the camp in his own palanquin and presented him with a pair of gold bracelets, besides bestowing upon him <i>j&#257g&#299rs</i> in several villages. Sult&#257n Si&#7749gh died in 1842.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Lepel, Griffin, <i>The Punjab Chiefs</i>.
