| Description | ROAD-MAKING IN CHITRAL It has fallen to the British race to be the successors, of the Romans as the great road-makers of the world. The pioneers of empire, indeed, make their way into every region, path or no path; but rapidly and surely the road-maker follows In their track, and secures the ground they have won. In the picture we see a party of the Bengal sappers and miners constructing a road for the passage of troops among the barren and rocky valleys of Chitral. The road made will be protected and defended, and in the ettd will bring peace and good government into a land where rapine, murder, and misgovernment have ruled for many a long year. | ||
