EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Eleven at Maiwand, a haunting image captured on July 27, 1880 during the Anglo-Afghan War. This photograph immortalizes the final moments of eleven brave soldiers from various British brigades who valiantly fought against Afghan forces in one of the most intense battles of the war. The scene is somber and poignant as these men stand together, their faces etched with determination and courage despite facing overwhelming odds. The defeat suffered by the British troops at Maiwand was a devastating blow, but these soldiers stood their ground until the very end. Their sacrifice and unwavering loyalty to their comrades serve as a reminder of the harsh realities of war and the ultimate price that some must pay for freedom. The Last Eleven at Maiwand is a powerful testament to bravery in the face of adversity, capturing a moment frozen in time that will never be forgotten. As we gaze upon this historic photo print, we are reminded of those who have gone before us, laying down their lives for a cause greater than themselves. May we always honor and remember the last eleven at Maiwand, forever etched into history as heroes who gave everything for their country.
