At one point a permanent garrison of British troops was maintained in the region at Razmak. Pinks War was a bombardment campaign carried out by the RAF against the Mahsud tribesmen in South Waziristan in the spring of 1925. Images include pack stations military transports wireless equipment tented military camps soldiers crossing the River Indus a ferry crossing in 1923 soldiers posed in deep snow barracks and other soldiers quarters aircraft transport by horse camel elephant and cart; as well as soldiers at leisure - riding bicycles at a beach and at a zoo.

1951016947Mauripur: Royal Pakistan Air Force 1951. Soft cover. Fair. This is a rare original message form sent within the Royal Pakistan Air Force from the staging post at Mauripur in July 1951 with original envelope. The envelope: This has been opened hastily with paper label covering to the front on which is written "Secret" and "Ops Imm" believed to be Operations Immediate meaning it required immediate action and sent to HQ of the RPAF at Mauripur with a handwritten note of who it was opened by on 5th July 1951. The message: This has been written down on an old Air Force India form dated 1944 but the message is from 1951. It was sent from Air HQ Comm Sqdn Mauripur to Air HQ Stats Karachi and repeated to C.T.O. S.H.Q. Mauripur Chief Technical Officer and Station Head Quarters. The message appears coded or at least in military parlance and not meant to read by anyone else. The message text reads: "AS/85 /5 JULY /SECRET / O / COMM SQDN / B VIK / B1 ONE / C ONE / O / B DAK / B1 THREE / C THREE / N 2/0540 /Q 5/0245 / O / B DOVE / B1 TWO / C TWO / N 3/0725 /NI 1/0100 / Q 3/0040/ O /PART II / O / B P / B FOUR / A N / B FIVE /A S / B FIVE". Quite what it means is unknown but there is reference to aircraft "VIK" / "DOVE" / "DAK": Vickers Viking de Havilland Dove and Dakota and was written at a time of tension between Pakistan and India with troops of both armies massing on the border and Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan making his "clenched fist" speech in the same month a gesture symbolizing a resolute defiance against threats to Pakistan's sovereignty specifically regarding tensions with India and the Kashmir dispute. This was sent from "Air H.Q. Comm Sqdn" which was the elite unit responsible for the Prime Minister's personal safety and transport and reporting what planes were ready to evacuate or transport VIPs if need be. Condition: The message itself is in good condition for age with slight loss along the top edge. The envelope is tatty as to be expected with loss to the rear and creasing / tearing to all edges. However this remains an unsual item something that normally would have been filed or destroyed. <br/> <br/> Royal Pakistan Air Force paperback

Small folio. Contemporary Indian cloth-covered boards. Boards scuffed and rubbed; text with some staining and occasional old repairs; some folding tables shaved with loss. Various paginations with numerous genealogical appendices some folding. Many works in blue or red editorial pencil or with marginal notes. 1 vols. Small folio. A sequence of reports and first hand accounts of local conditions in Mekran Kalat Baluchistan Northwest India now Pakistan and relations with with the Khan of Kalat and his family. An uncommon glimpse of politics of and life in a frontier state of British India. This is a series of eleven internal reports many of them from the pen of Herbert Showers 1862-1916 whose career as a Political Officer took him to Kalat Quetta Jaipur Alwar Katmandu Udaipur. He died relatively young at 54 in 1916. The reports are candid: "As recent events show important events seriously affecting the peace and well-being of the country may be passing and no information of them reach the Political Agent except accidentally from an unofficial source. And as can readily be understood the difficulties are greatly enhanced by our having such a man as Pasand Khan for the Jhallawan Sirdar." A marginal note in pencil indicates "resigned in favour of his son in 1911".<br /> <br /> Comprising:<br /> <br /> a No. 371. From Lieutenant E.
