Summary

Description
English: Outside the Kandahar Citadel (locally called "Arg"). The men sitting and standing (and looking at the camera) are mostly camp followers of the British forces from then British India (now Pakistan, India and Bangladesh). The precise location where this photo was snapped is the backside of today's Kandahar Governor House, looking toward the direction of the Baba Saab area in Arghandab. The British military operation was conducted in that area on 1 September 1880 to defend Kandahar from the army of Ayub Khan (son of Sher Ali Khan and cousin of Abdur Rahman Khan), who was supported by then Persia and Russia against British India. Ayub Khan and his army had come from Herat. Based on how the men are dressed, this photo was likely created before or after the 27 July 1880 Battle of Maiwand.
