Photograph showing a British army camp with men of 1 Company, Royal Horse Artillery, posed in the foreground, taken by John Burke in 1878 near the Safed Koh mountain range which runs from east to west at the north-westerly end of the great Himalayan Range.
The British army camped at Safed Sang during the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80) as there was a good water supply in the valley. However it was also stony, treeless, dusty and very exposed. The camp was in a strategically important position in the North West Frontier Province on the route from Peshawar (now in Pakistan) to Kabul (Afghanistan).
