EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Attack in the Kuram Valley" captures a significant moment in history during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Taken by Richard Caton Woodville II, this image showcases the bravery and sacrifice of British soldier Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts. In March 1878, Sir Frederick was appointed as commander of the Kurram field force and played a crucial role in this conflict that took place in what is now Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province. The photograph is featured in J. Maclaren Cobban's book "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" published in 1901. This image transports us to a time when horses were an essential part of warfare. Amidst the rugged terrain of the Kurram Valley, we witness soldiers engaged in battle with Afghan forces. The intensity of their attack is palpable as they fight for control over this strategic region. As we delve into history through this photograph, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought on foreign lands to protect their country's interests. It also highlights the geographical features that played a pivotal role during conflicts like these. Through Woodville's lens, we glimpse into an era where valor met adversity head-on. This print not only immortalizes Sir Frederick's leadership but also pays homage to all those involved in shaping our world today through their courage and determination on distant battlegrounds.
