Product No. 109
£10.99
Drawing extensively on their diaries, journals and letters as well as his own travels in their footsteps Charles Allen writes of the astonishing story of a brotherhood of young men who together laid claim to the most notorious border in the world., India’s North West Frontier. Known collectively as Henry Lawrence’s young men, each had distinguished himself in the East India Company’s wars in the 1840s before going on to make his name as a ‘political’ on the frontier. Herbert Edwards, Harry Lumsden, John Nicholson and James Abbot among others.
