EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1919, amidst the rugged terrain of the Khyber Pass in the North West Frontier of India. Captured by an English photographer, this image is a testament to both imperial history and the treacherous nature of this notorious mountain pass. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a moment during the Anglo-Afghan War of 1919. The descent near Landi Khana unfolds before our eyes, revealing a landscape that seems almost hostile in its grandeur. Mountains rise majestically on either side, their peaks shrouded in mystery and danger. In this scene, soldiers can be seen making their way through this unforgiving terrain. Their journey is undoubtedly arduous as they navigate through one of the most challenging passes known to man. Each step taken here requires courage and determination as they traverse these treacherous paths. The photograph captures not only a physical journey but also symbolizes a clash between two worlds - Afghanistan and modern-day Pakistan - forever linked by this historic passageway. It serves as a reminder of the countless lives impacted by conflicts fought along these very mountains. This remarkable image from Peter Newark Historical Pictures allows us to witness firsthand the bravery and resilience displayed by troops who ventured into unknown territories for causes greater than themselves. It stands as an enduring testament to human perseverance against formidable odds within an awe-inspiring natural backdrop.
