Book Overview

With Kelly To Chitral is a book written by William George Laurence Beynon. The book recounts the author's experiences as a member of the British military expedition to Chitral in 1895. The expedition was sent to rescue a British garrison that was under siege by local tribesmen. The book provides a first-hand account of the difficult journey the expedition had to undertake through the rugged terrain of the Hindu Kush mountains, as well as the battles that were fought against the tribesmen. The author also provides insights into the local culture and customs of the people of Chitral. With Kelly To Chitral is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known event in British military history, and is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, adventure, and travel.The next day a fatigue party was sent out to Chokalwat to destroy the enemy's sangars, and bury any dead bodies that might be lying about. This party would also act as a covering party to Peterson, who was expected to arrive that day. With Peterson came Bethune and Luard, all very sick at having missed a fight. This detachment brought the strength of the Pioneers up to four hundred rifles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
