The foreword by Lt Col Cobb OBE states “These units were often referred to as the Frontier Militias as they were in most cases recruited locally as militia they were not always permanently embodied and liberal periods of leave enabled them to attend to the cultivation of their own lands.” In relation to the Khyber rifles the book writes: “In the chequered history of this Corps with its headquarters at Landi Kotal may be reflected the control of the Khyber pass inhabited by the formidable Afridi tribe. Its history goes back a long way to the “Khyber Jezailchees” an irregular body of tribal “sharp shooters” with a reputation for marksmanship from which it was formed in 1878.” £20
