EDITORS COMMENTS
The Final Attack at the Spingawi Khotal, (1901) captures a pivotal moment in history during the Second Afghan War. In this powerful print by William Heysham Overend, we witness British forces under General Frederick Roberts launching their assault on the strategic Peiwar Kotal Pass between Afghanistan and India. The image transports us back to November 1878, as brave soldiers from the 29th Punjab Native Infantry, Gurkhas, and other regiments charge forward with determination amidst a dense forest. Their faces reveal both courage and intensity as they engage in fierce combat against Afghan defenders. General Roberts, known as Earl Roberts or Baron Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford, stands tall among his troops. A legendary figure in British military history, he led his army with exceptional skill and bravery throughout this campaign. This photograph is taken from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" by J. Maclaren Cobban – a comprehensive biography that chronicles Lord Robert's remarkable achievements until Yakub Khan's abdication. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country. It symbolizes not only the strength of the British Army but also highlights the complex geopolitical landscape of Afghanistan during that era. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history while honoring those who served valiantly.
