EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of bravery and heroism during the Battle of Futtehabad in April 1879, during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. In the foreground, Lieutenant John Hamilton of the Guide Corps is seen receiving the prestigious Victoria Cross from a British officer, in recognition of his exceptional courage and leadership during a daring cavalry charge. The Battle of Futtehabad took place on April 29, 1879, and was a significant engagement in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880), which saw the British Empire attempt to re-establish control over Afghanistan following the invasion of 1839. The battle took place near the city of Kabul and saw the British forces, led by General Frederick Roberts, clash with the Afghan army under the command of Mir Afzal Khan. Lieutenant Hamilton's brave charge on the Afghan forces, despite being heavily outnumbered, turned the tide of the battle in favor of the British. His fearless leadership and determination inspired his men to follow him into the heat of the battle, resulting in a decisive victory for the British forces. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination displayed by Lieutenant Hamilton and his men during the Battle of Futtehabad. The Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valor in the face of the enemy, is a fitting tribute to their bravery and sacrifice. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the scenes of battle during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. It is a testament to the bravery and heroism of the soldiers who fought in this conflict and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of military service and national pride.
