1p., foolscap 8vo. On aged paper, with slight loss to text at bottom edge. Unobtrusively repaired on reverse with archival tape. A duplicated manuscript document in Younghusband's hand, divided into six sections. Begins: 'I. The advance-Guard was very well handled by Major R. G. Egerton & the heights on both sides carefully & skilfully picketed.' The second section concerns 'The main attack on the Khungai Pass', which was 'well planned and well executed by the 25th. Punjabis under Lieut Colonel Hamilton.' The third section commends the 'absolute unity of control [...] performed by all units & by careful organizations the Bde Signalling Officer kept the the Column in close and constant communication with every part of the force'. Item IV reads: 'The Ghazis were very well handled by Lieut H Cambell [Hector Campbell, for whom see below] & made a very realistic and bold dash at the left flank attack on the Khungai Pass'. Section V concerns the artillery. For more on Younghusband, see his autobiography 'A Soldier's Memories in Peace and War' (1917), his entry in Who Was Who, and his obituary in The Times, 2 October 1944. Younghusband's autobiography is long on anecdote and short on precise facts, and no mention is made in it of the action described in this document, or of any other of Younghusband's activities during 1904. From the papers of Brigadier Hector Campbell (1877-1972) of the Corps of Guides (Frontier Force).?>
