This photograph, titled "British Mission to Cabul" takes us back to the 19th century when a significant diplomatic journey unfolded. The image showcases a group of esteemed individuals who played pivotal roles in this historic mission. Surgeon Major Fenn stands tall among his fellow British officers, Lieutenant J Manners Smith and Lieutenant A H McMahon. They are accompanied by Colonel Elles, Ibrahim Khan, Sir Mortimer Durand, Mr JS Donald, Mr TS Pyne, Abdur Rahim, and Mr E HS Clarke. Together they form an impressive assembly representing the British Mission to Cabul. The photograph captures the essence of their return from Kabul on that eventful day of November 21st. Each figure exudes determination and purpose as they stand against the backdrop of Lundikhana in Afghanistan.
