*Hi listers* * would anyone know if a list or memorial with names exist for the fallen at Gandamak. I am assuming there is a source for the numbers shown below, taken from British battles.com <http://battles.com>. Does anyone know of a contempory account. I am particularly interested in a soldier of the 44th James Nowlan. He was not discharged to pension so I am trying to establish if he was among the dead at Gandamak or at anytime on this campaign. * * 'The final stand took place at Gandamak on the morning of 13th January 1842 in the snow. 20 officers and 45 European soldiers, mostly of the 44th Foot, found themselves surrounded on a hillock. ' 'Casualties: * The entire force of 690 British soldiers, 2,840 Indian soldiers and 12,000 followers were killed or in a few cases taken prisoner. The 44th Foot lost 22 officers and 645 soldiers, mostly killed. Afghan casualties, largely Ghilzai tribesmen, are unknown. *Many thanks in advance* *Lorraine* *Sherwood Forest*
