Summary

Description
English: With the Kurram Field Force, on the North-West frontier.

The main Column Signalling Station at Fort Lockhart. Fort Gulistan and Fort Lockhart in Afghanistan were two fortresses under British control at the time. The forts would communicate with each other by using mirrors to flash Morse Coded messages. The distance between them was approximately 5 miles, so they set up as a signaling station – to relay messages from one end of the valley to the other. Drawing by Lieut. Francis A. D'O. Goddard
