EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures a somber moment in history, depicting the aftermath of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases British officers who lost their lives during the campaign, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men. The composition is filled with emotion and detail, allowing us to glimpse into the harrowing reality faced by these soldiers. Among them are Lieutenant M. E. Rayner, Brigadier General Brooke, Captain Walter Roberts, Lieutenant R. T. Chute, Major Sidney Waudby, Lieutenant C. G. Whitby, and many others who fell in action. The scene takes place in Afghanistan's rugged terrain where an outpost duty turned into a deadly encounter on July 27th. These officers valiantly fought against Afghan forces led by Nakhud during a sortie near Candahar. Their uniforms bear witness to their military rank and affiliation with regiments such as the 1st Bombay Grenadiers and the 66th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry. This print serves as both a tribute to their courage and a historical record of this significant conflict. As we reflect upon this engraving from the 19th century English School collection held privately today; we are reminded of how war can impact individuals from diverse backgrounds—British officers alongside Indian soldiers—all united under one cause but ultimately paying the ultimate price for it.
