| Description |
English: Pen and ink sketch of Football Match at Candahar, Afghanistan. 59th Regt. v. The Garrison, 1878
Kandahar, in south-east Afghanistan, was captured by Lieutenant-General Donald Stewart's force without a struggle on 8 January 1879. In the months that followed the occupation of the city was relatively uneventful, allowing the garrison to partake in social activities and sporting contests. A note on the back of Irwin's sketch states: 'Copied from Sketch done at the time by me. The 59th Regt. played 15 officers against 15 officers of the Candahar Garrison & beat them. I suppose that this was the first game of football ever played in Afghanistan'. Drawing from the disbound album by Lieutenant John Frederick Irwin, 59th (2nd Nottinghamshire) Regiment. Military career and life from RMC Sandhurst 1866 to the 2nd Afghan War (1878-1880).
