Add garrison
Aktar Khan continued to foment rebellion amongst the Durrani tribesmen in Helmabnd Province despite profesing loyalty to '''Shah Shujah'''. He threatened the garrison at Gereshk and Nott had to send detachments to counter his attacks. There were successful actions at [[Battle before Girishk|Gereshk]], [[Action at Karootoo|Karootoo]] and [[Battle of Khawind|Khawind]] in July and August 1841.
General Nott led a large force north east from Kandahar into the districts of Zemindaur, Tireen and Derawut in September. The show of force seemed to subdue the tribes and he returned on 1 November.While he was away Kandahar was reinforced by the arrival of the 40th Foot and on 2 November he reviewed the whole garrison of 5,000 fighting men. == Garrison ==Forces under General Nott 2 November 1841*[[Skinner's Horse]]*1st Shah Shujah's Cavalry*Shah Shujah's Horse Artillery*Brigade of [[Bombay Horse Artillery|Bombay Artillery]]*Brigade of [[Bengal Artillery]]*[[40th Regiment of Foot|HM 40th Regiment]]*[[2nd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|2nd Bengal Native Infantry]]*1[[6th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|16th Bengal Native Infantr]]y*[[38th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|38th Bengal Native Infantry]]*[[42nd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|42nd Bengal Native Infantry]]*[[43rd Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry|43rd Bengal Native Infantry]]
