Image description

South Waziristan Scouts Mounted Infantry, 1943 circa. Photograph, World War Two, North West Frontier of India, 1943 circa. Based at Jandola, the South Waziristan Scouts (formerly the South Waziristan Militia) consisted of two infantry battalions and a small force of mounted infantry. Their primary responsibility was to occupy dominant features along British communication lines, especially those points which if occupied by hostile tribes would hinder the regular Army's movement in the Waziristan Agency. From a collection of 233 official photographs collected by Captain Roy Wiltshire in his capacity as Editor of the Indian Army Review.
