Through Three Campaigns

CHAPTER 4: In The Passes
46/57

No finer action was ever performed than that by this little body.
The total casualties of the day were very heavy.

Of the hundred and fifty men actually engaged, twenty non-commissioned officers and men were killed, and twenty-eight wounded.

Of the officers, Captain Campbell was badly wounded, and Captain Baird died on the following morning.

The two native officers were killed.
The enemy's strength was computed to be from a thousand to twelve hundred men.

Of these, five hundred were Umra Khan's men, who were armed with Martinis.
