Third Afghan War – Afghan Regulars (2)

A second unit of regulars completed for the Third Afghan War – only one more to go.

The figures are Eureka miniatures from their Russo – Turkish war range, but they fit in quite well.

The Third Anglo-Afghan War, which lasted from 3 May to 8 August 1919, was a significant conflict initiated by Amir Amanullah Khan’s call for Jihad against the British to achieve Afghanistan’s full independence.

His aim was to unite the Afghan people in response to foreign interference, strengthen his rule, and foster national unity among various ethnic groups.

Although the war was brief, it had a profound impact on Afghan nationalism and marked a key moment in the country’s pursuit of independence, while also drawing international attention to Afghanistan’s geopolitical importance, and was ultimately successful.

The two units completed.
