William Beynon was staff officer for Colonel Kelly's relief force. With Kelly to Chitral is an account of the daily life of British officers and Indian troops on a frontier expedition. Beynon described his work to his mother as How we lived and marched, what we ate and drank, our small jokes and trials, our marches through snow or rain, hot valleys or pleasant fields, in short, all that contributed to fill the twenty-four hours of the day is what I have to tell. The British garrison, sent from Gilgit to oversee the smooth transition of power to the heir apparent after a ruler was murdered, was besieged in Chitral Fort for over a month in 1895.
