Légende

The Chitral Expedition: Swat chief who surrendered after the Malakand Fight, 1895. Sketched by Lieutenant Elger, 1st Bedfordshire Regiment, British Army. 'Interesting sketches have been received from three gentlemen who have had exceptional opportunities of appreciating the difficulties and dangers surmounted by the force which eventually succeeded in relieving Chitral...The portraits of the Swat chief and other prisoners taken at the storming of the Malakand Pass give only a slight idea of the stalwart natives of this district'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
