The Indian Frontier Rising: the King's Own Scottish Borderers storming a sangar above the camp at Datoi, 1898. The British Army, North-West Frontier. 'From a sketch by our special artist, Mr. Melton Prior. "The storming of one of the enemy's sangars above the camp at Datoi by a force of the King's Own Scottish Borderers, under Captain Playfair, was a very spirited affair. Our men had to climb almost precipitous rocks and then rush the enemy's position under fire so close that not more than five yards' distance lay between the English officer in command and the foremost Afridis. After a brief stand, however, the tribesmen, sustaining considerable loss, retreated down a wooded ravine".' Melton Prior. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
