EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant episode during the Battle of Kandahar in the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The image showcases the bravery and camaraderie of two renowned regiments, the 91st Highlanders and the 2nd Gurkhas, as they storm Gandia Mullah in Afghanistan on September 1,1880. The intensity of warfare is palpable as these valiant soldiers charge forward with determination etched on their faces. Clad in traditional Scottish kilts and distinctive Gurkha attire, they epitomize strength and resilience. The composition beautifully highlights their unity amidst chaos, symbolizing the imperial might of Britain during this era. Richard Caton Woodville Jr. , a talented artist known for his military illustrations, skillfully brings this historical moment to life. His attention to detail transports viewers back to a time when imperialism was at its peak and newspapers like "The Illustrated London News" played a crucial role in documenting such events. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph over a century later, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought for their country far from home. It also invites us to reflect upon the complexities surrounding war, power dynamics between nations, and how history shapes our present. This print from Heritage Images allows us to delve into an important chapter in British military history while honoring those who served with unwavering courage during The Afghan War (1878-80).
