AFGHANISTAN MEDAL NAMED TO: B/216. PTE. J. EATON. 66th FOOT.

Condition: NEF.

(Nicely toned).

It was at Maiwand that the men of the 66^th Foot (along with MAJ. BLACKWOOD - his medals are in my Private Medals Gallery on this website - Royal Horse Artillery), made a gallant stand, while the Native Infantry, who were now thoroughly disorganized, retired to Kandahar under pursuit of the Afghan cavalry. The 66^th Foot, along with the Native Infantry that did not retire, were hard pressed and fought in a number of well organized and disciplined small groups. One party stood back to back and kept the Ghazis at bay until their numbers were so reduced that the remaining men rushed out and died in hand-to-hand fighting. Another party, retiring to a more defensible position behind a low wall, were eventually nearly all killed.
 

The 66^th Foot had 61 % casualties and E/B Royal Horse Artillery had 23% causalities. Two of the Horse Artillery guns and five of the smooth-bores were abandoned on the battlefield. The entire force suffered a total of 44% casualties.
