The 36th Sikhs, as soon as they arrived, were sent off to occupy a peak, two miles distant, which covered the advance into the Rajgul defile.

The enemy mustered strong, but were turned out of the position.
The next morning the villages were white with snow.

A party was sent on into the Rajgul valley, where they destroyed a big village.
Immediately after leaving Dwatoi, the valley broadened out till it was nearly a mile wide.

On the right it was commanded by steep hills; on the left it was, to some extent, cultivated.

The 4th Brigade this time led the way, the 3rd bringing up the rear.
From the moment when the troops fell in on the 10th, till they reached Barkai on the 14th, there was a general action from front to rear.
