The Afghan War, with the Bombay Division - A Glimpse into the March
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving by Alfred Chantrey Corbould takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The print, titled "The Afghan War, with the Bombay Division, Sketches on the March" offers a vivid depiction of life during this tumultuous period. Intriguingly detailed and filled with action, the image showcases soldiers from the Bombay Division as they make their way through open terrain. Horses laden with supplies trudge alongside weary troops dressed in warm kit attire. Their faces reveal both determination and exhaustion as they navigate through unfamiliar territory. Corbould's meticulous sketches capture not only military aspects but also glimpses of everyday life amidst war. From impromptu breakdowns to moments of respite under makeshift shelters known as punkahs, these scenes provide insight into the challenges faced by soldiers on long marches. The bustling cityscape of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) serves as a backdrop for this historical tableau. It reminds us that behind every soldier lies a home far away - a place where loved ones anxiously await their return. Through this evocative print, we are transported back to an era when bravery and sacrifice were intertwined with uncertainty and danger. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly in distant lands while shedding light on an often overlooked chapter in history – one that shaped nations and lives forever.
