"Jellalabad: A Glimpse into the Afghan War and its Historic Significance" Step back in time to 1879, when the Afghan War was raging and Jellalabad became a pivotal location. Through engravings like "The Sortie of the Garrison of Jelalabad, 1842, " we witness the bravery and resilience of soldiers defending this strategic fortress. One haunting image depicts Dr. Brydon's arrival at Jellalabad after the massacre of the English Army in the Khoord-Cabul Pass by Afghans. It serves as a grim reminder of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period. In another engraving titled "Execution of a Ghazi at Peshawur Gate, Jellalabad, " we glimpse into religious fanaticism that fueled conflicts. The scene captures both horror and fascination with its depiction of justice being served. However, amidst war's chaos, life continued. "Sunday at the Front" portrays moments of respite for soldiers stationed in Jellalabad - a brief escape from their harsh reality. General Sir Samuel Browne played a significant role during these times, as shown in engravings such as "Grand Durbar held by General Sir Samuel Browne. " His leadership brought unity and strength to those fighting for British interests. Yet not all scenes were filled with heroism; some depicted darker aspects. In one engraving titled "Burning the Body of a Ghazi Assassin outside Peshawur Gate, " we witness an act meant to deter future attacks but also symbolizing vengeance within conflict's complexities. Major Cavagnari stands out among key figures associated with Jellalabad. Engravings featuring him alongside Chief Sirdars highlight diplomatic efforts amid turbulent times – attempts to forge alliances despite cultural differences. Beyond warfare lies hidden beauty near Jellalabad - remarkable Buddhist caverns showcased through an engraving accompanying General Sir Samuel Browne.
