From London Illustrated News, Janaruy 2, 1879. According to the Newspaper, a mixed party comprising of Mangals, Jajis and Turis, attacked the baggage train of the General Roberts on his return from Peiwar to the Kurram fort, near 'Koruh'. The 5th Gurkhas detachment, commanded by Major Fitzhugh and Captain, were protecting the baggage train and they came under the attack. The Mangals charged them with swords and managed to kill two British officers, Captain Powell of the 5th Gurkhas and Captain Goad of the Transport Service.
