Jhelum

Jhelum, on the river so named,135 was the next stage of our anxious journey.

The Sikh army were posted near Chillianwalla, on the river Jhelum, their front covered by a thick belt of jungle.

From Martund we made our way to Vernag, the celebrated spring which is supposed to be the source of the Jhelum river.

Two marches from Jhelum my wife was suddenly taken alarmingly ill, and had to remain behind when the camp moved on.

Jhelum and Peshawar were also connected by rail, a military transport train being run by the Post Office between these points.
