"Fierce glance and hawklike eye tell the Pathan character". From "The National Geographic magazine", 1946.
Caption: "Seen at Bannu, this young blade wears an inverted lambskin jacket. On his turban he keeps an amulet to ward off snipers' bullets. Some of his friends may reach 6 feet 9. Tribal legends tell him he is descendant of Israel's lost tribes. What a Hollywood villain he would make ! ".
