The Pathan

“It is good to be away from chattering wife”

The Hill tribes project was complete weeks ago, but this morning I had an opportunity to photograph them. This is a standard photo session to demonstrate cunning operations against an Anglo-Indian touring side and not an actual game.

Steep hills offer jezzail marksmen opportunity to fire on the British column, while sword armed tribesmen gather behind the hills to launch their attack.


Tribesmen gathering for the assault.


Any moment now.


The Mad Mullah’s Household cavalry move forward to seal the column’s fate. 


Cheers,
