EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by Lieutenant C.H. Elger of the Ist Bedfordshire Regiment captures the determination and resilience of the Chitral Relief Force as they crossed the treacherous Swat River in May 1895. The Chitral Relief Force was a British military expedition sent to aid the besieged population of Chitral, a remote valley in present-day Pakistan, following an invasion by local tribesmen. The scene depicted in the sketch shows the soldiers wading through the river, their rifles slung over their shoulders, as they make their way towards the other side. The steep, rocky banks of the river and the towering mountains in the background serve as a stark reminder of the challenging terrain that the soldiers had to navigate. Despite the difficulties, the Chitral Relief Force pressed on, driven by their duty to protect and provide relief to the people of Chitral. The successful crossing of the Swat River marked a crucial turning point in the expedition, allowing the British forces to advance towards their ultimate goal of reaching Chitral and securing the safety of its inhabitants. This poignant sketch by Lieutenant Elger offers a glimpse into the courage and resourcefulness of the Chitral Relief Force during this pivotal moment in British colonial history. The image serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who braved the unknown and the elements to bring aid and assistance to those in need.
