The Pashawur Mountain Train in the line of march, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The War with Persia - the Pashawur Mountain Train in the line of march, 1857. Sketch by a British Army Correspondent, of the Punjaub Artillery, showing...the mode of transporting field Artillery over the mountain passes on the Punjaub frontier...[The sketch was made] during the late expedition into the Koorum Valley, commanded by Brigadier Chamberlain, and as the troops were about to enter the Durwauzah (doer) Pass. The gun - a 9-pounder, or 21-pounder howitzer - is carried on one elephant, the carriage on a second, and a third carries the ammunition. A gun can be dismounted and packed on an elephant in this manner in ten minutes; and can be unpacked and prepared for action in less than that time'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
