Sir Harry Lumsden.  Sir John McQueen also was a soldier of great renown, who afterwards commanded the Punjab Frontier Force.  Other roads bear the names of Bob Hutchinson, who, as above recorded, was killed in the night attack on Malandrai; Walter Hamilton, killed in defence of the Kabul Residency; Hector MacLean, who earned the Victoria Cross and died to save a comrade at Landaki, in Swat; Quentin Battye, who, mortally wounded, passed peacefully away at Delhi with the words Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori on his lips; Wigram Battye, killed bravely charging in Afghanistan, and Fred Battye, killed at the Panjkora.  Great names these all, and spreading still their soldier influence, perhaps insensibly, over the spirit of their old home and regiment.

Out beyond the cavalry parade-ground is the Home Farm, and on each side of it run the cavalry and infantry rifle-ranges, skirted by fine avenues of trees.  Between the infantry range and the church are two of the best polo-grounds in India,—­grounds which have produced many famous players and many famous teams.  The church was erected by public subscription to the memory of Colonel Hutchinson, and claims the great attraction to sojourners in a foreign land of being like a little English church.  On the walls are tablets to the memory of Sir Harry Lumsden; Major F.H.  Barton, the cheery, gallant sportsman who was killed at polo in 1902; Major Gaikskill; A.W.  Wilde, son of Sir Alfred; Hector MacLean; Quentin and Fred Battye; Major G.H.  Bretherton, who was drowned on the way to Lhassa; Charlie Keyes, son of Sir Charles, treacherously killed in West Africa, and many others.  The churchyard is beautifully laid out with many rare plants, flowers, and trees.  There remains only, to finish up with, the old cricket-ground, now used entirely for lawn-tennis, badminton, and croquet; for cricket flourishes not in India at this day, though doubtless a revival may come before many years, as is so often the case with games.

The daily life at Mardan is much the same as in any other Indian cantonment.  In the early morning comes parade or manoeuvre, growing painfully early as the brief hot weather creeps on.  Stables follow for the cavalry, and work in the lines for the infantry.  Next comes orderly-room for the adjutants and others; and twice a week durbar.  The durbar in an Indian regiment takes the place of the formal orderly-room of a British regiment.  It is held in the open, under the trees, or at any convenient spot; and the underlying principle is that any man in the regiment may be present to hear, and, when called upon, to speak.  It is a sort of open court, whereat not only are delinquents brought up for judgment, but all matters connected with the welfare of the men, and especially such as in any way touch their pockets or privileges, are openly discussed.  To add to the semi-informal and friendly nature of the assembly, all the men are allowed to wear plain clothes.
