The Anglo-Afghan War, a tumultuous chapter in history, is vividly captured through various artworks and engravings. An Ambuscade (1901) by an unknown creator depicts the treacherous nature of warfare during this time. The Royal Berkshire Regiment's Heroic Stand at Maiwand in 1880, showcased in a powerful painting from 1939, immortalizes the bravery and resilience of soldiers on the battlefield. James Atkinson's artwork from the First Anglo-Afghan War (1838-1842) provides us with a glimpse into the conflicts that unfolded during this period. Meanwhile, The Afghan War (1878-80) showcases the joint efforts of the 91st Highlanders and 2nd Gurkas as they storm Gandia Mullah in 1901. A plan dating back to around 1880 illustrates the road from Shutargardan Pass to Cabul, highlighting strategic routes used during these wars. Sher Ali Khan, Emir of Afghanistan in 1900, symbolizes one of many key figures who played significant roles during this era. Sketches made by special artists en route to Zulu War serve as valuable historical records that shed light on life amidst conflict. Additionally, Afghan War Memorials recently placed in Colaba Church Bombay pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for their respective nations. Inside views of Ghuznee Gateway depict intense moments during its storming in 1839 while Battle of Kandahar - The 92nd Are To Take The Guns (1901), created by an unknown artist, captures another pivotal moment within this war-torn landscape. Richard Caton Woodville II's Attack in Kuram Valley (1901) transports viewers into a chaotic scene where soldiers fight valiantly against all odds. Lastly, W McCracken's portrayal of Peiwar Khotal battle reveals yet another aspect of this complex conflict which took place in 1878.
