Lord Roberts' most noteworthy achievement was the march on Kandahar. It took
Roberts 22 days to move his army from Kabul to Kandahar, 313 miles across
Afghanistan's hostile terrain. On September 1, 1880, he obliterated Ayub
Khan's Afghan Army in the decisive victory of the Afghan War. Until the U.S.
intervention in 2002, Roberts was the only General to have emerged with flying
colors from an expedition into Afghanistan in the last 200 years. From 1892, he
was known as Baron Roberts of Kandahar. Roberts (1832-1914) later served as
Commander in Chief in India (1885-1893), Commander in Chief in Ireland
(1895-1899) and he held the supreme command in South Africa (1899-1900).
During the Boer War, he annexed the Orange Free State and Transvaal and captured
Johannesburg and Pretoria. Lightly soiled at blank areas. Mounting tape remnants
at top. Horizontal fold between signature and date. Otherwise, fine
condition.
