Khurd Khyber Pass. Photographer: Burke, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
The Khurd Khaibar Pass is a defile in the Jalalabad district: 'It is very narrow, in some places not admitting of two horsemen riding abreast, and about three-quarters of a mile long. It is merely a deep, narrow ravine with high banks in some parts. The road through it is good, and the descent in it is not difficult, but an enemy occupying the heights could stop the advance of any force till they were dislodged' (Gazetteer of Afghanistan, part IV, p.299, Calcutta, 1910). No. 54 in Burke catalogue of Afghan War views.
Subjects = military (general); military campaigns
