Title:
'Mackeson’s Bridge.' Long trains of pack animals carried all the British supplies from India through the passes into Afghanistan. Up to 40,000 camels were employed.

Photo 1253/1(78)
Title:
'Attock from Khyrabad.' This picture of the military bridge across the Indus appeared in Burke’s Afghan albums but was actually shot in 1863 during the Ambela Campaign.
