EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Map of the Fighting in the Chardeh Valley, 1901". Created by an unknown artist, this historical map depicts a significant event during the Second Afghan War. In December 1879, British and Punjab cavalry launched a fierce attack on Afghan forces in the Chardeh Valley, Afghanistan. The battle took place during the Battle of Kabul and was a pivotal moment in Earl Roberts' Indian career. The intricate details of this map highlight key geographical features such as Bala Hissar and Beni Hissar forts, which played crucial roles in shaping the outcome of the conflict. The fortified city of Kabul is also prominently displayed, emphasizing its strategic importance. As we delve into history through this image, it becomes evident that Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts (also known as Earl Roberts) was an influential figure leading British forces during this period. His biography titled "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" by J. Maclaren Cobban serves as a valuable resource for understanding his military accomplishments. This print not only provides insight into an important chapter in Anglo-Afghan relations but also serves as a testament to Britain's imperial presence at that time. It stands as a reminder of past conflicts while offering us an opportunity to reflect on how history has shaped our present world.
