EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as Afghan infantry soldiers stand guard at the boundary line between British and Afghan territory in the Khyber Pass during the aftermath of the third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919. The Khyber Pass, a mountainous and strategically important trade route connecting Central Asia and South Asia, has been a focal point of geopolitical significance throughout history. The North-West Frontier Province of British India and the adjacent Afghan territories were a contentious region, with tensions often boiling over into military conflicts. In this image, we see a picket of Afghan soldiers, dressed in traditional uniforms, attentively standing in the rugged terrain of the Khyber Pass. An officer, likely British, is seen in the background, observing the soldiers and ensuring the security of the border. The third Anglo-Afghan War, which lasted from 1919 to 1920, was a result of the British attempts to extend their influence in Afghanistan and to secure the border region. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Rawalpindi, which recognized Afghan independence and established the Durand Line as the border between Afghanistan and British India. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex history of the region and the strategic importance of the Khyber Pass in shaping the modern borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The image also highlights the bravery and dedication of the soldiers on both sides, who played a crucial role in maintaining peace and security in the region during a time of political instability and conflict.
