With Kelly To Chitral is a book written by William George Laurence Beynon. The book is a memoir of the author's journey to the remote region of Chitral in Pakistan with Colonel Sir Robert Warburton Kelly, a British military officer. The journey took place in 1895 during the British Raj in India.The book provides a detailed account of the expedition, including the challenges they faced, the cultures they encountered, and the natural beauty of the region. The author describes the rugged terrain, the harsh weather conditions, and the dangerous encounters with local tribes.The book also explores the political climate of the time, with tensions between the British and the local rulers of Chitral. The author provides insights into the strategies used by the British to maintain control over the region, as well as the impact of British colonialism on the local population.With Kelly To Chitral is a fascinating account of a little-known expedition, and provides a unique perspective on the history of British colonialism in South Asia. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the region, or in the broader history of colonialism and imperialism.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.
