EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Barrack Square in Kandahar, Afghanistan, circa 1880. Taken by Benjamin Simpson during the 2nd Afghan War, this image showcases the presence of the 78th Highlanders in a foreign land. The 78th Highlanders arrived in Bombay on March 19,1879, and after spending over a year at various Indian stations, they were ordered to proceed to Afghanistan via Quetta and the Bolan Pass in July 1880. By November of that year, they were attached to Brigadier-General Brown's 2nd Brigade at Kandahar. Although Major-General Frederick Roberts had already relieved the city before their arrival, the harsh weather conditions and challenging climate took its toll on the soldiers. In fact, by April 1881 when they began their return journey to India, around one-third of their total strength had been invalided back due to illness or injury. This photograph is part of an album containing a collection of thirty-four images from this significant period in history. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, it serves as a testament to both the bravery and hardships faced by those who served during this campaign. With its timeless quality captured through photography techniques, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter not only for military history but also for understanding cultural interactions between nations during times of conflict.
