| Description |
THE KURAM VALLEY. War and Commerce are great teachers of geography, and dwellers in the British Empire must perforce take many lessons from both these teachers. It is war that has revealed to us the Kuram Valley and made its name familiar to all who have followed the fortunes of our troops in recent frontier fighting in India. It was in time - of war that our picture was taken, and the orderly rows of British tents and the presence of two British soldiers in the foreground tell us that wc are " at the front." The River Kuram runs from Ali Khel, on the south of the Shutargardan Pass, in a south-easterly direction, joining the Indus between Peshawur and Dera Ismail Khan, Some of the heaviest fighting which occurred in General Roberts's brilliant campaign in 1878-80 took place in the forcing of the Shutargardan Pass. |
