Thanks to Caroline Gerard for photograph.
Have posted it in the assumption that there was at least one Scotsmen involved!

Thanks John / Caroline

The 72nd Highlanders and 92nd Highlanders both served in this campaign.

Landi Khotal was on the Indian side of the Khyber Pass and a strategic place for any British Invasion of Afghanistan (pre 1947).

I take it there was some sort of large base and hospital so I imagine this memorial would cover some Scotsmen from that war.

Regards

ADam
