With Kelly To Chitral is a book written by William George Laurence Beynon. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences during the Chitral Expedition, which took place in 1895. The expedition was led by Colonel Kelly and was aimed at relieving the siege of the British garrison in Chitral, a remote region in present-day Pakistan. The book provides a detailed account of the author's journey from Peshawar to Chitral, including his encounters with the local people, the harsh terrain, and the challenges faced by the expedition. Beynon also describes the military tactics used by the British forces during the expedition, as well as the political and social context in which it took place.The book is a firsthand account of a significant event in British colonial history and offers insights into the attitudes and beliefs of the British towards the people of the region. It is a valuable resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of South Asia.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.
