commanders[edit]

what does this "پشتون" mean? is it just a signature or being used in lieu of a flag?--Profitoftruth85 (talk) 03:15, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is "Pashtun" in Pashtun, it is being used in lieu of a flag. SGGH ^ping! 09:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FA deficiencies[edit]

Churchill, Hobday and Elliott-Lockhart were combatants in this article, which is therefore almost entirely made up of non-independent sources Bumbubookworm (talk) 12:37, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

I'm looking to re-cite this article, and am hoping no-one will mind too much if I use the Harvard style, one one I'm used to. Amitchell125 (talk) 21:50, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Map request[edit]

I have just started reading the Churchill book and went to Google Earth to see if I could follow his approach to Malakand and find the fort, etc. Unable to achieve that, mountains everywhere, I found this article. But this doesn't help either. So I was hoping that someone who is familiar with the history could use a google map to show readers where this all took place, especially in relation to the book, which is the main way people will come to this.Summerdoor (talk) 19:51, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
