Taken by an unknown photographer during the 19th century, this image is housed at the National Army Museum in London. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of Afghan tribesmen during the Second Afghan War (1878-1880). These resilient men defended their mountainous strongholds with remarkable skill and unwavering courage.
