Henry Lawrence's 'Young Men'
The Young Men , also called 'the Paladins of the Punjaub', were a group of East India Company Officers, sent as 'advisers' to the Sikhs after the First Sikh War in 1846. In the words of George Lawrence, his duties were 'to act as a friendly adviser to the native officials.'〔Gazetteer of the Peshawar District 1897 - 98, Sang-e-Meel Publications, Lahore Pakistan 1989 (reprint) P 78〕 They were known as Henry Lawrence's 'Young Men' as they worked under the command of Sir Henry Lawrence, initially the Agent to the Governor General and later also the Resident at Lahore.
Collectively these men played a large role in bringing India's Northwest Frontier under the control of the British. Some were to later play an important part in the Indian Mutiny (1857). The murders in Multan of Patrick Vans Agnew and Lt. Anderson, sparked the Second Anglo-Sikh War (1848 - 1849) and led to the annexation of the Punjab.〔''Gazetteer of the Multan District 1923 - 24,'' Sang-e-Meel Publications, Lahore, Pakistan (reprint) 2001. p 283〕
