EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Afghan War, Officers of the Fifty-First (Kings Own Light Infantry) engaged at the Capture of Ali Musjid" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a group of brave officers from the Fifty-First Regiment during their involvement in the Second Anglo-Afghan War. With stern expressions on their faces and rifles held firmly in their hands, these officers exude determination and courage as they stand united against the backdrop of Ali Musjid. This strategic fortress located in Afghanistan was a crucial target for British forces during this conflict. The detailed engravings beautifully capture not only the uniforms worn by these officers but also their unwavering sense of duty. Their presence amidst rugged terrain serves as a reminder of the challenging conditions faced by soldiers during wartime. Published originally in The Graphic on June 7th, 1879, this historical illustration offers viewers an opportunity to glimpse into one chapter of military history that shaped relations between Britain and Afghanistan. It stands as a testament to both the bravery displayed by these officers and the sacrifices made by all those involved in conflicts throughout time. Preserved within private collections today, this print serves as an important reminder of our shared past while honoring those who fought valiantly for their countries' causes.
