EDITORS COMMENTS
The Afghan War, Sketches in Camp by Lieutenant Pulley, 3rd Goorkhas (engraving) captures a vivid glimpse into the life of soldiers during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. This historical print, created by Harry Furniss and now part of a private collection, showcases Lieutenant Pulley's artistic talent as he documents scenes from military camps. In this image, we see soldiers going about their daily routines amidst the harsh conditions of war. The hasty toilet arrangements and makeshift flat reflect the challenging circumstances they faced. Heads of departments gather around tables for discussions while enjoying a cup of tea, creating an atmosphere that blends camaraderie with strategic planning. The presence of dogs adds a touch of companionship to this otherwise austere setting. Doctors stew over medical matters while Jow Akiland, a Malta veteran who worked alongside them during the conflict, provides valuable insights. Lieutenant Pulley himself is seen diligently sketching his surroundings—a testament to his dedication as both an artist and soldier. The attire worn by these brave men ranges from warranted waterproof coats to winter jackets—testimony to their resilience against the elements. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring forth not only a visual symphony but also provide us with invaluable glimpses into history. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts like the Afghan War and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate their bravery and endurance.
