General Elphinstone's army had been destroyed in the disastrous [[Retreat from Kabul to Gundamak|Retreat from Kabul]] in January 1842 and Shah Shujah, who had been restored to the throne by the British, had been murdered. General Nott had occupied [[Kandahar]] for the previous two years. General Pollock forced the [[Khyber Pass]] in April 1842 to join with General Sale who had been besieged at [[Siege of Jalalabad|Jalalabad]]. Lord Ellenborough, who succeeded Lord Auckland as Governor-General, was in favour of withdrawal of the troops but there was strong public opinion that the humiliations should be avenged before the British left. He therefore gave the generals discretion to withdraw via Kabul.
