Image description

Road repairs, 1919 circa. Photograph by Randolph Bezzant Holmes (1888-1973), India, North West Frontier, 1919 circa. A detachment of Indian sappers repair a road on the North West Frontier. Maintaining lines of communication was crucial as it allowed military columns to move freely in the tribal areas. In 1919 the British were engaged in a war with the Afghans. The latter were helped by local Pathan tribesmen who were always eager to throw off British rule. From an album of 39 photographs taken by R B Holmes.
