	The '''1842 retreat from Kabul''' took place during the [[First Anglo-Afghan War]], and saw the retreat of the [[United Kingdom\|British]] [[East India Company]] troops, under Major-General [[William Elphinstone]], from [[Kabul]] after an uprising in the city forced ~~him~~ to withdraw to the nearby city of [[Jalalabad]] close to the [[Pakistan]]i border.

	Afghan leader [[Akbar Khan]] had promised William Elphinstone safe passage and an escort through the passes, as well as gave assurances that the sick and wounded left in Kabul would be unharmed, in return for the British ~~army~~ handing over the majority of their [[musket]]s. After roughly an hour of the start of the retreat, Khan went back on his word and part of his men moved in to loot, burn tents, and kill the wounded in Kabul while another part attacked the rearguard of the march. [[Civilian]]s and [[soldier]]s alike were butchered and, with little or no resistance from the column, the Afghans began mounting more and more attacks. Very few tents were taken on the march, being meant only for women, children, and officers, which resulted in a number of people freezing to death during the first night. Food was also scarce, with the column having only enough for five days of travels prior to the Afghan attacks.<ref name="Chapter 20"/>		Afghan leader [[Akbar Khan]] had promised William Elphinstone safe passage and an escort through the passes, as well as gave assurances that the sick and wounded left in Kabul would be unharmed, in return for the British Army handing over the majority of their [[musket]]s.

	Even so, the march pressed on the following morning, with British Lancers riding against the Afghans in an attempt to deter further attacks. Colonel [[Walter Lavelle]] deserted, along with [[Cavanagh]] and another soldier. At 2PM, Elphinstone ordered a rest ignoring the advice of his officers for them to press on through the Khord-Kabul Pass. His decision meant giving the Afghans ~~the~~ time for their [[sniper]]s and their cavalry to prepare for more bloodshed. The following morning, as the column entered the pass, shots began to ring ~~and~~ and the march stopped to attempt negotiations. Akbar Khan agreed to let the column through in exchange for hostages, but resumed hostilities after they had been handed over. Around 3,000 people died on the pass and all British supplies were lost. That night, the survivors camped with only four small tents and hundreds died of exposure.<ref name="Chapter 20"/>		Even so, the march pressed on the following morning, with British Lancers riding against the Afghans in an attempt to deter further attacks.
