When it was Over and i sat exhausted beside the burned out Bazaar and watched the pathans joyfully looting six Hundred of the hindu Garrison had been killed. Only a Hundred had escaped. There was nothing i could do about the savagery of the troops under my com  had considered us As the liberators of the town but when we drove out the hindu troops there were no demonstrations of greeting by the townspeople.

Firs they looted the Bazaar seizing clothing furniture Kitchen utensils anything they could carry. Then they turned to the Homes. What they could not move they destroyed. Next came the livestock water Buffalo and mules and the poultry and finally the women there were no useless struggles. No shrieks of protest.
