EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Charge of Cavalry to Cover the Retreat of the Guns. . . 11th December 1879" captures a pivotal moment during the Battle of Kabul in Afghanistan, which took place during the Second Afghan War. In this intense scene, British and Punjab cavalry can be seen fearlessly charging towards the Afghans in an effort to protect their retreating artillery. The image, taken from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" provides a glimpse into the bravery and determination displayed by these soldiers as they fought for their country. Led by Field Marshal Lord Roberts, also known as Baron Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford, these men risked their lives on that fateful day. The black and white composition adds a sense of historical significance to this photograph. It serves as a reminder not only of the valor exhibited by those involved but also highlights the harsh realities faced during warfare in that era. This image offers viewers a window into an important chapter in both British military history and Afghanistan's past. It stands as a testament to the courage shown by soldiers who fought against all odds for their nation's cause.
