EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the 2nd Afghan War. Titled "Halt of prisoners from Bassaule with an escort of 45th Native Infantry on the Khurd Khyber" this image showcases the harsh reality faced by soldiers and prisoners alike. In this scene, we see a group of male soldiers, armed to the teeth, standing amidst rocky terrain. The soldiers wear military uniforms while donning turbans, indicating their Sikh heritage. They are part of the 45th Native Infantry regiment and serve as escorts for a group of prisoners from Bassaule. The exhaustion is palpable as both captors and captives take respite from their arduous journey through Afghanistan's unforgiving landscape. The photographer, John Burke, accompanied the British Army during this war and expertly captures the weariness etched on each face. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the toll that conflict takes on individuals caught in its grip. It also highlights the diversity within military ranks at that time, showcasing Sikhs who fought alongside their British counterparts. Preserved by London's National Army Museum, this historical print offers us a glimpse into an era long past but not forgotten. It reminds us to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate those who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms today.
