Framed Print of The Chitral Expedition: storming of the Malakand Pass by the Gordon Highlanders and Guides, 1895. Creator: George Meisenbach
The Chitral Expedition: storming of the Malakand Pass by the Gordon Highlanders and Guides, 1895. The British Army in India. From a Sketch by Mr. A. D. Greenhill Gardyne. On April 3, the Malakand Pass was successfully stormed by the Gordon Highlanders, the Guides, the Scottish Borderers, and some companies of the 4th Sikh Infantry. The British loss was comparatively trifling as regards numbers, three men being killed and about fifty injured. The enemy's loss was estimated to be nearly five hundred killed. The [Queen's Own Corps of] Guides led the way up through defiles 3000 ft. long to the top of the pass. When a quarter of a mile had been traversed a rapid succession of rifle-shots proved the nearness of the Swatis. The Maxim guns were soon placed in position, and for some hours did deadly work against the indomitable natives. At last the enemy's firing, which had been very erratic, slackened, and the Gordon Highlanders and Scottish Borderers were ordered to charge. By three o'clock in the afternoon the pass was in the hands of the British, and the enemy were scattered far and wide. Our Illustration on the front page depicts this warfare...In the distance are the two ranges over which the troops advanced to the relief of Chitral'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
