Excelent photo Tim, Nice to have the family history with it. It looks like 3 gurkhas in the front row to me.

As we all know Waziristan is still in the news today for its wildness etc. Your Grandfather would have seen many kukri along with the usual NWF weapons I am sure. There was essentialy 2 different wars there I think in early 20th century?

Have you any other photos from him?
