Armed frontier guards. Two armed guards, identified as 'Frontier Constabulary' officers, stand against a stone wall with their rifles slung over their shoulders. Their lack of uniform suggests they may be 'Khassadars', members of a locally administered force who were given government allowances in return for protecting the frontier. North West Frontier Province, India (Pakistan), circa 1927., North West Frontier Province, Pakistan, Southern Asia, Asia.
