*** “On July 27th, 1880, after the disaster at Mai wand, our small force was retreating to Kandahar, when Driver Pickwell Istead fell badly wounded. Although the enemy were only ten or fifteen yards distant, Patrick Mullane, seeing the driver’s danger, unhesitatingly ran back two yards and lifted him on to the limber of his gun, where he unfortunately died almost imme¬ diately. Later on lie volunteered to fetch water for the wounded, going for it to a village near, where already so many of our men had been killed.”— Vide Wilkins.
