EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Candahar: The 92nd Highlanders and the 2nd Gurkhas Storming Gaudi Mullah Sahibdad" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by Richard Caton Woodville in 1880, this lithograph showcases the bravery and resilience of soldiers from different backgrounds united under one cause. The image transports us to the North West Frontier of India during colonial times. In this intense battle scene, we witness British soldiers clad in their distinctive kilts charging forward with bayonets fixed on their rifles. Alongside them are fierce Gurkha warriors from Nepal, renowned for their loyalty and combat skills. Amidst the chaos and smoke-filled air, fallen bodies lie scattered across the battlefield as a testament to the harsh realities of war. Some soldiers exhibit wounds while others tend to injured comrades or engage in hand-to-hand combat with Afghan fighters defending Gaudi Mullah Sahibdad. Woodville's attention to detail is evident as he captures not only the action but also elements that reflect life on campaign - pith helmets worn by some officers and medical personnel attending to wounded soldiers. This engraving serves as an invaluable historical document depicting both heroism and sacrifice during imperial expansion. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it reminds us of the complex dynamics at play during that era – empire building, cultural clashes, and human suffering intertwined within each frame.
