EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Tirah Campaign of 1897. The image depicts the storming of the Dargai Heights by the brave soldiers of the 1st Gordon Highlanders and their Gurkha allies. Amidst this fierce battle between British troops and Afridi tribesmen on the North-West Frontier, one man stands out as a symbol of unwavering courage and determination.
