The Afghan War, Camp of the 10th Hussars at Dakka - A Glimpse into Military Life in Afghanistan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The engraving, created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published in The Illustrated London News on February 1,1879, offers a rare glimpse into the camp of the renowned 10th Hussars at Dakka. The image transports us to a remote corner of Afghanistan where British soldiers established their base amidst rugged terrain. Horses stand tall and proud, tethered to makeshift posts as they rest from their duties. Their presence is a testament to the vital role these magnificent creatures played in military operations during this tumultuous period. Intriguingly, we witness soldiers going about their daily routines within the camp. Some are engaged in conversation or leisure activities while others diligently attend to their duties. Tents dotting the landscape provide shelter for these brave men who endured harsh conditions far away from home. Woodville's masterful engraving not only showcases his artistic prowess but also serves as an invaluable historical document that sheds light on one chapter of Afghan history. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their country's interests abroad. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time and reminded once again of humanity's indomitable spirit even amidst conflict and adversity.
