EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Leather Afghan waterbottle from around 1842, created by the Afghan School in the 19th century. Housed at the National Army Museum in London, this artifact tells a fascinating story of survival and resilience. During the British military's campaign in Afghanistan, water was an invaluable resource for soldiers on long marches. In April 1842, Major-General Sir George Pollock led his troops to relieve the besieged garrison at Jalalabad. However, they faced extreme heat and outbreaks of cholera that threatened their mission. Amidst these challenging circumstances, Pollock's force stayed there for several weeks to recover and regroup. It was during this time that a British soldier acquired this leather waterbottle as a trophy. Although not part of standard British issue equipment, it served as a reminder of their triumph over adversity. The bottle itself is beautifully crafted with intricate details showcasing Afghan craftsmanship. Its historical significance lies not only in its functionality but also in its symbolic representation of survival against all odds. Now preserved within the walls of the National Army Museum, this Leather Afghan waterbottle stands as a testament to human endurance and adaptability during times of war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and danger, basic necessities like water can become prized possessions worth celebrating and cherishing for generations to come.
