y, who was in command, gave each man a
coolie for his baggage, and ordered the men to get to Duneera the first
day the best way they could. At Duneera they halted for the night, and
the next day pushed on in the same manner to Pathankote, where they
immediately entrained and proceeded to Jullunder.

The Ghora Dakka detachment under Lieutenant Emerson marched to Rawal
Pindi, a distance of fifty-four miles, in two days, and then entrained
for Jullunder.

No men fell out in either party, and considering the time of year and
the intense heat, they were fine performances.

Some officers were on leave in Cashmere, and only arrived at Jullunder
as the Regiment was entraining.
