EDITORS COMMENTS
The Storming of Ghuznee: Triumph Amidst Adversity". This photo print, titled "The Storming of Ghuznee. The Storming Column entering the Fortress" captures a pivotal moment in history that unfolded on 23 July 1839. Depicting the storming column as it enters the formidable fortress, this color lithograph by Lieutenant Thomas Wingate offers a glimpse into an extraordinary military feat. The British Army, led by Sir John Keane's Army of the Indus, faced a daunting challenge when they confronted the heavily fortified Ghazni fortress. With its towering 60-feet high walls and lack of heavy artillery at their disposal, victory seemed uncertain for the British forces. However, against all odds, they managed to overcome this seemingly insurmountable obstacle. Mohan Lal, a resourceful Kashmiri interpreter and spy working alongside Captain Sir Alexander Burnes, played a crucial role in their success. Through his intelligence gathering efforts, he discovered a poorly defended gate within the fortress. With this newfound knowledge in hand, Keane's troops launched an audacious assault on Ghazni. The storming column depicted in this image represents their unwavering determination and bravery as they breach through those imposing walls. "The Storming of Ghuznee" serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity amidst adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with seemingly impossible challenges, there is always hope for triumph if one possesses courage and resourcefulness like those displayed by these brave soldiers on that fateful day.
