A RARE "IRISH" INDIAN GENERAL SERVICE.(HAZARA 1888) To:2283. Pte W. CURTIS. 2nd ROYAL IRISH REGt. In Superb EF+ Condition. With Full Surviving Service Papers (Rare) Battle at Kotkai, 4th Oct 1888

Battle of Kotkai

On 4th Oct the advance guard under Capt Lysaght came under fire from the village of Shingri when they descended into a gorge, but were able to deal with the trouble. One mile on they encountered a line of tribesmen stretching for 1,200 yards across the valley between the villages of Towara and Kotkai. On a spur behind this line were more tribesmen fortified behind stone sangars. In the eastern hills were more sharpshooters which were fired on by Galbraith's artillery. He sent two Native infantry battalions, the 34th Pioneers and the 4th Punjab Infantry to deal with tribesmen on the hills either side, and retained the Royal Irish to face the enemy in front. They moved forward 300 yards which caused the enemy to start to fall back. An unauthorised shout of 'Charge' set the men off and they raced forward until the sudden appearance of some determined swordsmen caused them a momentary halt, but they fired and began to bayonet their opponents. They ran towards the 34th Pioneers but the RI caught up and killed many. Lieut Gloster and 2 other men captured a standard which hung in the officer's mess for many years.
