Afghanistan: 'The Amir Yakub Khan's Highlanders (Gandamak) ', photograph of soldiers of the 51st Light Infantry (Yorkshire Regiment) by John Burke (1843-1900),1879. (Private Collection)
Caption:
The Second Anglo-Afghan War was waged between the British Raj and the Emirate of Afghanistan from 1878 to 1880. A consequence of the Great Game between Britain and Russia, the conflict was instigated by the latter sending an uninvited diplomatic mission to Kabul, despite the wishes and protestations of Sher Ali Khan, the Amir of Afghanistan. When a British demand for their own diplomatic mission was refused, the Second Anglo-Afghan War commenced.
