Note 144 — AGAINST THE AFRIDIS AND BOZDARS ON THE DEJERAT FRONTIER.

In 1858, a force under Sir Sidney Cotton was despatched to Sittana, on the Eusufyze border, against a body of Hindostanee Wahabee fanatics, who had committed depredations on British villages. The 81st. and 98th. Regiments were the only British troops employed in this expedition, which was successful.
