The Jellalabad Medal was issued by the East India Company and awarded to the troops under the command of Major-General Sir Robert Sale at the old fortress of Jalalabad in Afghanistan. The garrison withstood a siege from mid-November 1841 until April 1842 when the besieging Afghans retired partly as a result of Sales own sorties, including a brilliantly planned and successful attack on Akbar Khans lines on 7 April, and partly upon the approach of Major-General George Pollocks Army of Retribution.); © National Army Museum
