| The number of besiegers of Chitral Fort is not capable of being assessed and varied widely during the course of the siege. There were probably, at any one time, around 2,000 to 5,000 Chitralis, Jandolis, Afghans, Pathans and members of Umra Khan’s army conducting the siege. The siege lasted from March 3rd to April 18th when Colonel Kelly's troops advanced on the Fort somewhat unexpectedly from the North. The 500 odd defenders were greatly relieved. |
