Image description

South face Upper Bala Hissar, 1879. Photograph by John Burke, 2nd Afghan War (1878-1880), 1879. An Afghan and two soldiers pose in the foreground of this view of the upper Bala Hissar in Kabul. The upper section of the fortress housed the armoury and dungeons, while the lower fort contained royal palaces, stables and barracks. The Bala Hissar was partly destroyed by the British in revenge for the death of the resident, Sir Louis Cavagnari, and his escort. From an album of 101 photographs by John Burke.
