EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sports and Games at Jellalabad. Date: 1879," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of military life and recreational activities during the Afghan War. The image, taken by renowned photographer William Simpson, depicts a lively scene of soldiers and locals engaged in various sports and games in the city of Jellalabad. At the forefront of the image, a thrilling point-to-point horse race unfolds, with riders and their steeds charging towards the finish line. The steeplechase, a popular equestrian event of the time, required both skill and endurance, making it an excellent form of exercise and entertainment for the troops. Beyond the horse race, other pastimes are in full swing. A group of soldiers, armed with swords, engage in a spirited game of tug of war, pulling on a thick, heavy rope with all their might. Nearby, a group of local dancers perform an energetic dance, their colorful costumes and graceful movements adding a touch of culture and tradition to the scene. The photograph not only captures the spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie but also highlights the diverse and multicultural nature of life during the Afghan War. This image, taken over a century ago, remains a testament to the importance of sports, games, and entertainment in the lives of soldiers and civilians alike, even during times of conflict.
