Members of the Bengal Horse Artillery pause during the Army of the Indus's march towards the Bolan Pass in Baluchistan. Dadhar was a town at the mouth of the 60-mile long defile. It took the army two weeks to march through the Bolan. During this time it was frequently attacked by Baluchi tribesmen who hid in the surrounding hills.
