EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Kandahar during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Taken in 1901, it showcases the brave soldiers of the 92nd Highlanders advancing towards their objective, with a bagpiper leading the way. The painting from which this print was made dates back to before 1899. Led by General Frederick Sleigh Roberts, the British forces engaged in fierce combat against Afghan troops commanded by Ayub Khan on September 1,1880. This battle marked the culmination of the war and proved to be a significant victory for the British. The image portrays not only military might but also cultural symbolism through its inclusion of a bagpiper. The skirl of his pipes resonates across the battlefield as these brave men charge forward with bayonets fixed on their rifles. The significance of this historical event is further emphasized by its documentation in "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" written by J. Maclaren Cobban and published in Edinburgh in 1901. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to that tumultuous time when nations clashed over power and territory. It serves as a reminder of both heroism and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought valiantly for their respective causes.
