This Day in History: 1943-06-10

The 4th Battalion, based at Kajuri Forst in the Southern Khyber District of the North West Frontier, built an outdoor cinema where the on-screen fusillades of Wild West films were sometimes punctuated by the crack and whine of a Pathan tribeman’s bullet fired from a ridge 1000m away.  This nuisance was never permitted to stop the performance.
