After several years in Ireland, he was posted to the Umballa station in India in 1878 where duties consisted of escort and transport tasks along the Khyber lines of communication. Whilst commanding a squadron at Basowal, following the murder of the political agent Cavagnari and the failure of the Treaty of Gandamak, he was charged with accompanying the deposed Emir Yaqub Khan into exile in India. He was present at the affair at Dakka on 15 January 1880, as mentioned in our notebook, before rejoining the Headquarters of the Regiment at Jellalabad. In August 1880 he was appointed Orderly Officer to the Cavalry Brigadier, General Sir Hugh Gough and with the Cavalry Brigade accompanied Lt. General Sir Frederick Roberts on his famous, impressively fast, march from Kabul to Kandahar, and was present at the battle of Kandahar on 1st September. He was the only member of the regiment to receive a bronze star for this epic journey and was mentioned in despatches.After the Afghan campaign, Major Burnley saw service in the first Boer campaign (see lot 13) and retired in 1882, receiving the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in consideration of his distinguished service during the Afghan War. In June 1907 he became a real-life Phileas Fogg by circumnavigating the globe in 40 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes, breaking the previous record of 54 days, a record which he held for four years. His papers have been in the possession of his family until now.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
