Aga Jan, a Jemedar,(Officer) belonged to the regiment raised in the Kohistan, and commanded by Lieutenant Maule, Bengal Artillery. They were stationed at Charikar, a small mud fort ever memorable, for the gallant though unavailing defence made in it against thousands of the Kohistanees by a few British Officers and the Shah’s regiment of Goorkhas under Captain Codrington, 49th Bengal Infantry. On the fort being attacked, the Rangers deserted and joined their countrymen in the destruction of the British force. In the year 1840, some regiments of Afghan Cavalry denominated “Janbaz,” (A Persian word signifying “Players with life or Desperadoes.”) were raised in Cabul for the service of Shah Shoojau. Meer Humzu, here represented in his full equipment, was a private in the 1st corps commanded by Captain Golding, 2nd Bengal European regiment. They were ordered to Cadahar the following year, and served with the troops employed against the Dooranees. Soon after the commencement of the insurrection, when detached on service with their Commandant and Lieutenant Pattenson, 2nd Bengal Infantry, they entered the tent where these officers were reposing to murder them. Captain Golding they killed on the spot, and left Lieutenant Pattenson for dead witheleven severe wounds. Intelligence of their treachery having reached the British Camp, Captain Leeson with a party of his horse was detached in pursuit, and succeeded in cutting up many of the murderers before they could make good their escape. The Havildar (Serjeant) belonged to a regiment of Afghan Infantry, commanded by Captain Hopkins, 27th Bengal Infantry. When Dost Mahomed advanced with a force of Uzbek on Bameean, he was led to believe that the Janbaz Cavalry and other Afghan troops in the Shah’s service would join his standard. Captain Hopkins’ corps formed part of the re inforcements sent from Cabul to strengthen that outpost, and in the action, which took place on the 18th September, 1840, one company did desert to the enemy. Many of these men paid a severe penalty for their treachery, being seized and sold as slaves by the defeated Uzbeks on their retreat. The remainder of the regiment was in consequence disarmed and disbanded. One of its Officers who went over to Dost Mahomed on that day, received charge from Ukbar Khan of the European prisoners taken on the retreat of the army, with orders to escort them from Kabul to Bameean. The successes of the troops under Generals Sir George Pollock and Sir William Nott induced him when on the march to listen to the offers made by the prisoners of a large pecuniary reward, should he restore them to their friends, and on an agreement being arranged at the latter place to ensure him the sum of 2000 at once, and a pension of 1200 a year, he set out with them for Cabul, and on the 17th of September last delivered them over, after a captivity of 231 days, into the hands of Sir Richmond Shakespear. Ahmed Khan, Private, Kohistan-Rangers.-This man belonged to the same regiment as Jemedar Aga Jan. His dress and equipment is the summer costume of the inhabitants of the Kohistan, a district celebrated for its loveliness and fertility, but unhappily equally so for the turbulent disposition of its inhabitants. Their matchlocks are small yet handy, and in lieu of swords they carry a long knife, capable of inflicting severe wounds. In addition to the power horn and bullet pouch, the Jemedar has also in his waistband, and a bag of ready filled cartridges hang by a cord round his neck.
