ns of giving way, upon which an order was sent to the
cavalry on the right to attack on the first favorable opportunity. But
before this order was received both regiments charged successfully. The
troops were then ordered to retire to camp, as the enemy was completely
dispersed. The action commenced about 2 p.m. and by 4:30 p.m. the
enemy's position was captured. The estimated loss of the Afghans was
between 300 and 400 men, while the casualties among the troops amounted
to two British officers, one native officer, twenty horses and three
men killed and four native officers and thirty-six men wounded.
