Biography of esteemed, but little known, British officer Lt.-Col. John Haughton who found glory in the hard fought campaigns on the frontiers of India at the time of Queen Victoria and the British Raj. In the main, the book focusses on Haughton's time as the officer in charge of the gallant 36th Sikhs engaged on the Tirah expedition. He survived the vicious, often guerrilla combat, with the Afridi, Chamkani and Orakzai tribesmen but fell during the difficult retreat back from the Dargai heights.
