Description
From Chitral in the extreme north, where the Ikshkamun and Baroghil Passes show the way across the Hindu Kush to the lonely heights of the Pamirs, southwards to where the Khaibar Pass gives access to Kabul, the Gümal and Tochi Passes lead to Ghazni, and the Bolan still further south to Quetta and Chaman, on to the seaport town of Karachi in Sind, a distance of 1200 miles, the whole north-west and west frontiers are held by British troops, backed by defensive entrenchments and batteries, prepared to meet the first advancing armies that venture to tread the historic paths of old that so often led the nomad hosts of Central Asia to the conquest of India.
