EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1878: A Moment of Respite Before the Assault on Fort Ali Musjid Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the Afghan War (1878-1880), three intrepid journalists and an artist found a moment's peace on the battlefield before the impending attack on Fort Ali Musjid. Special Correspondents Archibald Forbes of the Daily News, Phil Robinson of the Daily Telegraph, and William Simpson, Special Artist of the Illustrated London News, sought refuge in a sheltered spot, weary from the relentless march and the anticipation of the battle ahead. The scene captures the camaraderie and determination of these men, united in their pursuit of reporting the truth from the heart of the conflict. The fire of Fort Ali Musjid looms in the background, a formidable fortress that would soon be the focus of the British Army's attention. The men huddle around a small fire, their faces etched with exhaustion and resolve, as they prepare for the challenges that await them. The night before the attack on Fort Ali Musjid was a pivotal moment in the Afghan War. The successful assault on the fort would mark a significant victory for the British forces, but it would also come at a great cost. The bravery and resilience of these journalists and artists, who risked their lives to document the events unfolding before them, is a testament to their unwavering commitment to truth and journalistic integrity.
