I can't stop thinking of how trying Akbar Kahn's wait at the entrance of the Khoord-Kabul Pass must have been in January, 1842.
"What?" he had to wonder "was delaying the 4,500 British troops along with 12,000 camp followers?"
I suppose he could've asked Dr William Brydon about a week later.
Waiting can be so difficult . . .
