Photograph of a garden in Jalalabad. There is a group of Afghan soldiers gathered in the foreground, wearing loose clothes and turbans and some holding guns. There is a rectangular pond behind, lined by trees on both sides. A soldier is standing beside a tree to the left. The rest of the garden is filled with trees and there is a stone wall in the distance. The photographer John Burke travelled with the Peshawar Valley Field Force during the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80), one of a series of conflicts between Britian and Russia over control of Afghanistan. His images from the war capture landscapes, key strategic sites and people involved in the conflict.
