A considerable force was retained near Jalala, to await the issue of the operations against the Afridis, and to be ready to move against the Bunerwals, should an expedition be necessary. Here we leave the Malakand Field Force.
Nor is there any place in the world where a soldier might lie in braver company. A few knolls and ridges rising from the level plain, mark the outposts of that great array of hills. Crossing a shallow stream a tributary of the Cabul River, Jalala, the second stage is reached.
At 6.30 A.M. on the 17th, the cavalry moved off, and soon came in contact with the tribesmen in some Buddhist ruins near a village, called Jalala. A skirmish ensued. Meanwhile the infantry were approaching. The main position of the enemy was displayed. All along the crest of the spur of Landakai could be seen a fringe of standards, dark against the sky.
