Indian Frontier Rising: officers killed in the British Reverse near Shin Kamar, Khyber Pass, 1898. 'We give portraits of several of the latest of England's gallant soldiers to lay down their lives in the present disastrous campaign. Lieutenant-Colonel John Haughton had already played a distinguished part in the campaign, and his spirited lead of the 36th Sikhs in a reconnaissance near the Saran Ridge, and in other actions, will not soon be forgotten in Anglo-Indian Army annals. Of younger service, but of no less promise as an officer, was Lieutenant Arthur H. Turing, who was originally in the Royal Fusiliers, but was attached to the 36th Sikhs as wing officer in 1891. Lieutenant Turing was for several years a leading member of Bedford School, where he distinguished himself both as a scholar and as an oarsman. Lieutenant Malcolm Reginald Walker joined the Army ten years ago and became a Lieutenant in 1891. Lieutenant Thomas Percy Dowdall received his commission in 1889, and served with the Zhob Expedition of the following year. To all four officers may be paid General Westmacott's telegraphed tribute to one of their number, Lieutenant Dowdall, "He died as a soldier should, deeply regretted by us all."' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
