The picture of the war on the
frontier is essentially one of detail, and it is by the study of the
details alone that a true impression can be obtained.
On the 22nd and 23rd the villages of Dag and Tangi were respectively
captured and destroyed, but as the resistance was slight and the
operations were unmarked by any new features, I shall not weary the
reader by further description. The casualties were:--
BRITISH OFFICER.
Wounded--Major S. Moody, the Buffs.
NATIVE RANKS.
Killed. Wounded.
Guides Infantry . . . 1 2
38th Dogras . . . . 0 2
By these operations the tribesmen of the Mamund Valley had been severely
punished. Any exultation which they might have felt over the action of
the 16th was completely effaced. The brigade had demonstrated its power
to take and burn any village that might be selected, and had inflicted
severe loss on all who attempted to impede its action.
