About The Book: This book presents the personal account of Sir Robert Warburton, focusing on his practical work as Warden of the Khyber Pass for nearly eighteen years. Prior to his appointment, the Khyber Pass was a dangerous and inaccessible area. The state of relations between the British government and the trans-frontier tribes was described as lacking influence and knowledge. Colonel Warburton dedicated himself to improving this situation, and under his control, the Khyber Pass remained open and safe without the presence of European soldiers. However, in August 1897, a tribal uprising occurred, leading to the Tirah campaign. Colonel Warburton believed that the attack on the Khyber posts could have been prevented if his services had been utilized promptly. Despite expressing his readiness to return to duty, his offer was not accepted until it was too late. The Khyber posts were subsequently attacked, which deeply affected Colonel Warburton.
