The print titled "Crossing the Zamburak Kotal" captures a historic moment in British military history. In 1880, Lieutenant-General Frederick Sleigh Roberts led a courageous expedition across treacherous terrain in Afghanistan to relieve Kandahar and defeat Ayub Khan at the Battle of Kandahar. This remarkable feat is depicted in this black and white painting displayed at the Royal Military College of Science. The image showcases the determination and bravery of Roberts and his troops as they traverse the challenging Zamburak Kotal pass. The rugged landscape serves as a backdrop for this significant event, symbolizing both the physical obstacles faced by these soldiers and their unwavering resolve. Roberts, later known as Field Marshal Lord Roberts, was an esteemed figure in British military history. His leadership skills were instrumental in achieving victory during this critical campaign. The painting not only commemorates his accomplishments but also pays tribute to all those who served alongside him. This artwork offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped both Afghan-British relations and global politics at large. It stands as a testament to courage, resilience, and strategic brilliance exhibited by General Roberts and his army during their arduous journey through Afghanistan's unforgiving landscapes.
