First Anglo-Afghan War 1839 - 1842

[Researcher]

Hello All

I am trying to research the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1839 - 1842, specifically the early part of the war when the British marched from Kandahar, through Ghazni to Kabul in 1839.

As well as any general info I am trying to find out information on the Governor of Ghazni at the time, who I believe was the son of Dost Mohammed and named Ghulam Hyder Khan. I think he was very young at the time he was Governor, perhaps early 20s.

To anyone who can give me any links or information I would be grateful. I have exhausted the usual Wikipedia links. Great website by the way and some interesting history threads on here.

Many thanks,
Researcher

Researcher, have you tried performing a search on PF because I believe in April there were links about this. if you cant find it let me know and i will help you.

welcome to our community.

Thanks for your fast response, Kandahary. I have tried to search under Ghazni and got a great thread on it, but it didn't have any specific information about the Governor. I know so little about this man or the citadel of Ghazni and I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Once again, many thanks
R.

Thanks Admin Khan - I'll go through all of these and get back to you. Thanks for spending your time pulling these together - I appreciate it. I'll contact Darweshkhel as you suggest as well. There is not very much stuff on this war considering what a failure it was for the British, and it it hard to get reliable information on it - particularly on the Afghan side of things, like the Governor.

Thanks, R.
