EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of British victory as artillery passes through the Kabul Gate at Jellalabad during the Second Anglo-Afghan War in 1879. The Second Anglo-Afghan War was a significant military conflict between the British Empire and Afghanistan, which began in response to the British fear of Russian expansion into Central Asia. The city of Jellalabad, located in present-day Afghanistan, was a key strategic location for the British due to its proximity to the Khyber Pass, a vital trade route between India and Central Asia. In the autumn of 1879, a British force led by General Frederick Roberts advanced on Jellalabad, which was then under the control of Afghan leader Sher Ali Khan. The siege of Jellalabad lasted for several months, with the British forces facing fierce resistance from the Afghan defenders. However, on November 26, 1879, the city finally fell to the British, marking a turning point in the war. The image shows the triumphant British artillery passing through the Kabul Gate, which had been the site of intense fighting during the siege. The Second Anglo-Afghan War was a costly and brutal conflict, with estimates suggesting that up to 20,000 Afghan civilians and soldiers died, along with around 1,500 British and Indian soldiers. The war also had far-reaching consequences, leading to increased tensions between Britain and Afghanistan and contributing to the instability that would continue to plague the region for decades to come. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of the British Empire and the complex geopolitical dynamics of Central Asia in the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring impact of colonialism on the people of Afghanistan and the wider world.
