On 30 March 1880 General Stewart left the Bombay division of his force as a garrison under Maj-Gen Primrose and marched to Kabul fighting battles at Ahmed Khel and Urzu on the way. Part of the field force went with General Roberts on his march to relieve Kandahar while he led the remainder back to India via the Khyber Pass.
