The Ameer of Cabool on his way to Peshawur, 1869. ...the Ameers party and the escort passing Jumrood, [on their way to meet Lord Mayo, Governor-General of India at Umballah in the Punjab, India]...the Khyber Pass being seen in the background...They were met by a guard of honour, consisting of a battery of Royal Horse Artillery, under Captain Markham, and the 19th Bengal Light Cavalry (Fanes Horse), which had been sent to Jumrood, the last outpost on our [ie British Indian] territory, to escort the Ameer into the Peshawur station. The Commissioner, Major Pollock, with the Brigadier, Major-General Stewart, and Captain Waterfield, Deputy Commissioner, accompanied by a squadron of cavalry, also rode a few miles within the pass to meet the Ameer...The Ameer is mounted on a fine Turkistan horse...and he is attended by crowds of his own irregular cavalry. His son travels in front, with his tutor, upon an elephant. The costume of his followers has a barbaric aspect; their head-dresses consist of sheepskin or lambskin caps, ana the long-haired ones give them a very wild appearance. Their horses are very small, but active, and move with the camel pace peculiar to native horses in that country. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
