In January 1842, a British army of 4,500 soldiers and 12,000 camp followers set out from Kabul for Jalalabad, 90 miles away. Only one European reached the end alive: Dr. William Brydon, whose bruised, blood-streaked horse carried him to the gates of the British garrison. The rest perished in snow-choked passes under Afghan attacks. This episode follows the First Anglo-Afghan War's catastrophic climax, from the murder of Sir William Macnaghten in a parley outside Kabul to the last stand at Gandamak. We examine why Shah Shuja's installation failed, how Akbar Khan led the uprising, and what the Elphinstone disaster taught the British about Afghanistan. Along the way, we look at the role of the Khyber Pass, the winter of 1842, and the haunting aftermath that shaped British policy for decades. #FirstAngloAfghanWar #RetreatFromKabul #Elphinstone #WilliamBrydon #AkbarKhan #Gandamak #Macnaghten #ShahShuja #Jalalabad #KhyberPass #BritishEmpire #GreatGame #Afghanistan #1842 #Disaster #MilitaryHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
