FREDERICK ROBERTS
The field marshal pens his name is ink on this 4½x1½ pink
card
Signature: "Roberts,/FM.", 4½x1½ pink card. Field Marshal 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. Rounded corners. Slight damage at upper corners. Light ink smudges.
Otherwise, fine condition.
