Isemonger Collection: Miscellaneous Photographs taken in the North-West Frontier Province. Photographer(s): Ram and Sons, Mela
- Scope & Content:
-
Collection of prints, the majority mounted on loose album pages, with handwritten captions. As well as general topographical views and some portraits the photographs also record two historic events: the air lift from Kabul in 1928-29 and the Peshawar disturbances of April-May 1930. The evacuation of Kabul was prompted by civil war in Afghanistan and was undertaken by the RAF. Between December 1928 and 25th February 1929, 84 missions were flown and 586 civilians evacuated. The Peshawar disturbances resulted from the arrest of political leaders and subsequent confrontations between military forces and demonstrators inspired by Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign. Dozens of protesters were killed or injured by gunfire on 23rd April 1930 and in later incidents in the city. This collection was presented by the daughter of F.C. Isemonger, Indian Police.
