LIEUTENANT W.G.L. BEYNON, D.S.O. 1st BATTALLION 3rd GOORKA RIFLES
1896
21st October 1895
Before you read this short history of a few brief weeks, I must warn you that it is no record of exciting adventure or heroic deeds, but simply an account of the daily life of British officers and Indian troops on a frontier expedition.
How we lived and marched, what we ate and drank, our small jokes and trials, our marches through snow or rain, hot valleys or pleasant fields, in short, all that contributed to fill the twenty-four hours of the day is what I have to tell.
I write it for you, and that it may please you is all I ask.—Your son,
Those marked with a are from Sketches by the Author .

Thanks are due to the Publishers of Mr. Thomson's The Chitral Campaign for the loan of two blocks illustrating Chokalwat and Nisa Gol from Lieut. Beynon's sketches.
Would you like to go up to Gilgit?
