Two Salawar yataghans - khyber knives

Hi Jim and Spiral,

I really have no idea where I picked that up. It was something about an individual soldier or some British individual writing about the khyber. The feelings it conveyed were awe and yes, fear. I admit my generalization of the British fearing the khyber was incorrect. Knives are no match for guns and superior tactics, after all. Now I will try to dig that damn quote up just to lay things to rest

I like that poem, Spiral. It's an inspiring way to remember the Hadendoa.

Cheers!
Emanuel
