BarbiesBoyfriend is correct.

This is the UK's 4th Afghan War - the others being 1842, 1878-80 and 1919.

Let us hope that the "Powers that be" have a look in the Archives before deciding on an "Exit Strategy". The only survivor of the Kabul Garrison to reach the Afghanistan/India border in 1842 was Dr William Brydon.
