NORTH WEST FRONTIER 1908: The Zakka Khel & Mohmand Campaigns. & HISTORY OF THE 1st BATTALION, 2nd PUNJAB REGIMENT LATE, 67th PUNJABIS, AND ORIGINALLY, 7th MADRAS INFANTRY 1761-1928.

NORTH WEST FRONTIER 1908: The present work offers a detailed study of both of these neglected campaigns, based on available regimental histories, British and Indian and on contemporary dispatches and accounts. It contains a wealth of information on the honours and awards conferred upon British and Indian forces for both campaigns, mentions in dispatches, lists of those killed or wounded in action, Orders of Battle, Staff appointments and other details.

HISTORY OF THE 1st BATTALION, 2nd PUNJAB REGIMENT: One of the first unit histories in the Indian army to attempt a more informal and readable narrative style with the author’s own interpretation of events. This unit, originating in the 18th century as a classic East India company formation saw service in most theatres of the Great War, including the western front; Egypt; Mesopotamia; East Africa and Palestine.

This is a hybrid between an old fashioned type of Indian Army unit history and the more informative style which later replaced it. The text is still rooted firmly in extracts from Regimental records and official reports, but the authors have expanded upon these with their own linking narrative. Although brief, the result is readable and informative.
