Major General Sir Robert H. Hale, 1834 Engraved Portrait

Descripción

Artist: H. Mosely Engraved By: F. Bull . Sir Robert Henry Sale (1782 1845) distinguished himself as a British Army officer with a notable military career spanning the Napoleonic Wars, the Pindari War in India, and the First Anglo-Afghan War. His significant contribution lies in the defense of the city of Jalalabad during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1839 1842). Leading the British and Indian troops, Sale successfully withstood a prolonged siege by Afghan forces, displaying remarkable leadership and resilience in the face of adversity. The eventual relief of Jalalabad in 1842, under General George Pollock, marked a crucial moment, and Sale's gallantry during this campaign earned him knighthood as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB). Sir Robert H. Sale's legacy is intertwined with the military history of British engagements in Afghanistan, particularly for his leadership during the challenging circumstances of the defense of Jalalabad. His death in 1845 did not diminish the recognition of his significant contributions to military endeavors in the service of the British Empire. Approximate Overall Size: 10 3/4 ins x 8 1/4 ins.
