Jalalabad

Jalalabad is the fifth biggest city of Afghanistan, located about 90 miles from its capital, Kabul.

History

In January 1842, after uprisings in the city of Kabul, the British Army reached an agreement with Afghan leader Akbar Khan for safe passage for their retreat to Jalalabad. However, the British were betrayed and attacked by Khan's men and, of the 16,000 people that set out on the march, only three ever made it to Jalalabad: William Brydon, Cavanagh, and Walter Lavelle. On 7 April, the British garrison at Jalalabad attacked Akbar Khan's lines, where Cavanagh proved himself indomitable in combat.
