		The C Company of the Mallows had lost all military order, and was pushing back in spite of the haggard officers, who cursed, and shoved, and prayed in the vain attempt to hold them.
		He was a man of firm purpose, and yet at the first sight of those howling fiends that purpose faltered, and at the second it was blown to the winds.
		The Mallows, too, had faced about, and in an instant Conolly had thrown himself into the heart of C Company, striving with the officers to form the men up with their comrades.

		In 1815, John Doyle, Arthur's grandfather, had emigrated to London where he was determined to keep his family traditions and religion alive (Nordon 6).
		Conolly is not an exception; the Regiment which he joins, the Royal Mallows, is filled with equally disaffected Irishmen.
		Yet when Conolly is exposed to the Dervishes he reneges on his plan The Irish soldiers' realization that they would be exchanging one form of imperialism for another, and perhaps prompted by their innate racism, pressure Conolly to proclaim allegiance to an autonomous Irish nationality.

		The best explanation for the strange desire to walk across Burma, however, is presented when, as the locomotive en route to China chugged past what were once the khanates of Turkestan, Tucker thought of those who'd played the "Great Game" of spying along that route: "All risked their lives.
		Arthur Conolly [an English officer and spy beheaded in Bokhara in 1842] drew strength from religious certainties, but I do not believe that any of them [English spies] acted out of duty to Queen or Country.
		They were in it for the adventure and because they loved the outdoors — and might have wanted to test their courage, for in those now remote times the attributes of manhood were still valued."

		In one grisly incident in 1842, two British agents, Capt. Arthur Conolly and Col. Charles Stoddart, were captured, forced to dig their own graves, then beheaded by the emir of Bukhara, a city in present-day Uzbekistan.
		Ironically, it was Conolly who, in a letter to a fellow spy just five years earlier, had coined the phrase the “Great Game.”
		The term “Great Game” is often attributed to Conolly to give it a historically sound pedigree, but the reality is that the term came into use for one reason only: the novel Kim, by Rudyard Kipling (which the author of the above does acknowledge).

		His masterpiece is The Great Game (1990), a phrase popularised by Kipling but coined by one of the struggle's victims, the British officer Arthur Conolly, who was beheaded as a spy by the Emir of Bokhara in 1842.
		Conolly had been a participant in the struggle between expansionist Tsarist Russia and Imperial Britain for control of the approaches to India, a canvas for intelligence work that ranged from the Caucasus to the Chinese frontier, from the Kazakh steppe to the Khyber Pass.
		Combining records from the India Office with the long-forgotten memoirs of the Game's protagonists, Hopkirk wrote what was in effect a history of the first Cold War.

		Eyewitness accounts state that Stoddart was the first to be beheaded (though it is more likely that he had his throat cut) and that Conolly was soon to follow (although some say that as a convinced infidel up until his death, he would have suffered a different fate than his converted compatriot).

		The term 'Great Game', which is incidentally, defined by the Oxford Dictionary as 'spying' (or golf!), was apparently first used by the British Political Officer, Captain Arthur Conolly.
		In these letters Conolly wrote that, 'You've a great game, a noble one, before you' and 'If only the British Government would play the grand game'.
		In the latter part of the nineteenth century this typically Victorian sporting metaphor came into popular usage in imperial and military circles to describe the clandestine Anglo-Russian rivalry in Central Asia, a competition between frontiersmen of both empires for control of the regions between their empires.
