The Indian Frontier Rising: cursing the infidel, 1898. 'From a Sketch by Lieutenant-Colonel C. Pulley, Gurkha Rifles. Active hostilities against those of the Afridi tribes who have not yet made their submission appear likely to be resumed before the end of the month of February, and notice has been given to them for the 23rd inst. The 3rd Brigade has advanced from Mamani to the gorge beyond Barkai against the Zakka Khels. The total of losses to the army in this frontier warfare, since last June, amounts to 614 British soldiers and 1233 of the native troops killed, wounded, or missing, amongst whom are forty-three British officers killed and sixty wounded.'
