897414 April 1871; 56 Friar Gate Derby. 12mo 2 pp. 24 lines of text. Good on lightly-aged paper. Laid down on a leaf from an album in such a way as the first line of the second page can only be read in mirror image by holding the item up to the light. Marvellously indicative of the patronising attitude of the governing British classes to their Indian subjects. On visiting Venables he will 'venture to bring with me my native servant' who 'does not require much in the way of accommodation'. If Venables 'has no corner for him' in his house asks if he can recommend 'a little room somewhere near'. 'He makes friends with all who see him is a Christian trustworthy quiet useful never in the way'. If Venables has 'any fear in the prospect of his appearance' he will 'have pleasant remembrances of him hereafter'. 14 April 1871; 56 Friar Gate, Derby. unknown

Also included are twelve Appendices detailing the units of the British forces in 1917 and 1919 the terms delivered to the Waziris and Mahsuds lists of British casualties and approximate numbers of the different specific tribes of the Mahsuds and Waziris involved in the conflict. <br /><br />In 1919 the short-lived Third Anglo-Afghan War concluded with the British ceding legal control of Afghan foreign affairs in return for the recognition by the Afghans of the Durand Line. Despite this a rumour spread amongst the Waziri and Mahsud tribesmen that the British intended to cede their territory to the British. They quickly conducted a series of raids against neighbouring settlements in the North-West Frontier in late 1919 causing over 400 casualties. <br /><br />Major-General Sir Andrew Skeen led the British response against the Tochi Waziris and Mahsuds in November of 1919. The campaign a took over 12 months due to the inexperience of the British units mainly comprised of light Indian divisions. The decisive eight-day battle of Ahnai Tangi involving the stand of the 2nd/5th Gurkhas immortalised in several paintings broke the Mahsud offensive and quickly resulted in a calming of violence and allowed the British to deliver their terms of control. <br /><br />Despite the apparent British victory the 1919-1920 campaign led to a change of policy in Waziristan. Britain decided to station permanent garrisons and have a much closer relationship with the irregular military units used. A large number of the locally raised troops had defected to the Waziris and Mahsuds during the campaign and it was hoped these measures would prevent further desertion. Britain also attempted a road construction effort in the region but this was seen as invasive and caused further conflict up to 1924.<br /><br />This copy was used by a member of the 1st Battalion of The Royal Scots during the time they were station in Secunderabad Hyderabad between 1922 and 1925.<br /> Calcutta, Superintendent Government Printing, India, 1921. hardcover
