On the plain, inside Sherpur cantonment, about 50 small and 60 medium-sized Afghan guns in five rows, together with a disorderly pile of gun and mortar barrels. The wheels of these guns were afterwards used for the improvised NW fortifications of the cantonment, as shown on photo no. RE 083. This photograph is only slightly different from RE 084, as it was taken from the roof of a one-storey building.
