== The Last Stand ==
This was the eighth and last day of the [[Retreat from Kabul to Gundamak]]. The remainder of the army and camp followers made a last overnight dash from Jugdulluk during which their commander Brigadier Anquetil was killed. Approaching [[Gundamak]] they were surrounded by a superior force and took up a defensive position on high ground off the road. Major Griffiths with Mr Blewitt interpreting attempted to parley but this failed and they were led away captive. Marksmen began picking off the survivors until there was a final attack which finished the affair. Only Captain James Souter and three or four privates (six or seven according to Lady Sale) survived and were taken into captivity.
