Ghazni, a city rich in history and culture, has captivated the hearts of many throughout the years. The Editor of The Dog World, Mrs Phyllis Robson, is seen here with her adorable eight-month-old Afghan Hound - Ch. Sirdar of Ghazni.

The Fortress and Citadel stand proudly alongside two majestic minars – symbols of strength and grandeur that have stood for centuries. Detailed plans provide insight into how Ghazni was organized back in 1880 – streets laid out meticulously to create an efficient urban landscape that still echoes through time. Amidst all these historical accounts lies an intriguing battle at Ahmed Kheyl near Ghazni on April 19th, 1880.
