"George", a Tori-Khel Wazir, Waziristan, 1946. 

 Original caption: "George, a smiling Pathan giant, bears a British nickname. He is an army runner. When a convoy drives into ambush, when officers fall and telegraph wires dangle - then George goes for reinforcements. This brave has been under fire scores of times, often by members of his own tribe, the Tori-Khel. Years ago an officer hailed him as "George". The name stuck."
