The Indian Frontier Rising: watching the conveyance of the dead - a daily occurrence, 1898. 'The Tirah Expedition - Saluting the Dead (almost a daily scene in camp)...General Sir William Lockhart, since he withdrew his army from Tirah eastward, descending into the Bara Valley,...has occupied the Khyber Pass with General Hammond's and General Symons' forces, while the headquarters division, with General Gaselee's brigade, advances to Chira...and has destroyed the enemy's towers in the Malik Din Khel district, without much fighting. This division of the army is now in the Bazar Valley, where Sir William Lockhart...occupied Chena, the only important village in the district. The British rear-guard was..attacked by the enemy, who were, however, repulsed with heavy loss. Sir Bindon Blood is to command a force of eight battalions sent to compel the Buneers to submit to the terms imposed by the British Indian Government. The forts of Ali Musjid, Fort Maude, and Lurnli Kotal, in the Khyber Pass, are being repaired and put into a state of defence. A reconnoitring party on the road to Lundi Kotal was attacked when returning through the Bori Kandao, and lost one man...while two others were severely wounded; but no large forces of the enemy are now seen'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
