Abstract
Ranjit Singh employed a number of foreign officers popularly known as “Faringees”.
One of these was Canora – an artillery officer posted at Haripur. He was shot dead
during his duty by one of the Chattar Singh’s soldiers he disobeyed his orders. His grave
is located in Chaman Park lady garden at Haripur city. The history of the burial, as
noted in the gazetteer, is somewhat different from that of Major James Abbott. An attempt
has been made in this paper to discuss the popular foreign officers in service of the Sikh
army.
