The Indian Frontier Rising: wounded and sick officers and men arriving at Rawal Pindi from the front, 1898. 'Facsimile of a sketch by our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior. The Tirah Expedition...General Sir Bindon Blood's campaign in the highlands between the Swat Valley and the Indus, to the north of the Punjab frontier, seems likely to effect, with very little fighting, the speedy submission of the Bonerwals, and all the other mountaineer tribes, of whom the most hostile were those of the Chamla Valley, stirred up by "the Mad Mullah," a notable fanatic Moslem prophet, at a village named Rega, whence he has now been expelled. General Jeffreys' Brigade has reached and occupied the Umbeyla Pass, the scene of warfare in 1863, whence he has descended into the Chamla Valley on Monday, and has been followed by General Meiklejohn's Brigade. The tribes send their "jirgahs," or deputations, with offers of surrendering guns and paying fines in money. At the headquarters of the main army in Tirah, General Sir Power Palmer is now in chief command, as Sir William Lockhart, being in ill-health, returns to England on leave of absence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
