About this exhibition
The first Afghan War of 1838-1842 witnessed one of the greatest defeats ever inflicted upon the British by an Asian enemy - the retreat from Kabul. On January 6, 1842, a British force that, with its followers numbered some 16,000, marched out of Kabul under an illusory safe conduct; one week later, nearly all of them, men, women, and children, lay dead along the ninety mile route, some killed by the Afghan enemy, the rest frozen to death in the snow. Those that survived were imprisoned and then rescued nine months later.
