Description and Table of Contents

Description

First published in 1898 this text describes the force to which Churchill was attached when it was sent to subdue the rebellious Mohmands on the North-West Frontier in 1897. The author was a subaltern in the 4th Hussars but found regimental life too quiet to satisfy his adventurous spirit and when he heard that a Field Force of three Brigades was being formed under General Sir Bindon Blood to quell a revolt of the Pathan tribesmen, asked to join it.
