Clements Library University of Michigan Eyre Coote papers Introduction1 The Coote family Charles Coote (d. 1642) was an officer in the English army and fought under Lord Mountjoy during the latter stages of the Nine Years War (1593-1603) in Ireland. His success was rewarded with various offices and a baronetcy. Like his contemporary, Richard Boyle, earl of Cork, he was astute in purchasing tracts of land and thereby enriched his family. By his death in 1642 the family had estates in Queen’s County, and Counties Leitrim and Roscommon. His eldest son, Charles (d. 1661) inherited much of these lands, and, like his father, was a military officer and political magnate, who managed to opportunely change sides between the Cromwellian and Restoration periods. Charles was created 1st earl of Mountrath in 1660, which title continued in the male line until the death Charles Henry Coote (1725-1802), when it became extinct. Sir Eyre Coote (d. 1823) descended from Charles Coote’s (d. 1642) second son, Chidley (d. 1668), of Killester, County Dublin who purchased an estate at Ashhill near Kilmallock, County Limerick in 1667. His eldest son Lieut.-Colonel Chidley Coote inherited this property, which in turn passed to his son, Rev. -

Preventing Strategic Defeat A Reassessment of the First Anglo-Afghan War Adam George Findlay A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences University of New South Wales Canberra September 2014 i Table of Contents Acknowledgements ii List of Maps v Explanatory Note: Thesis Mapping Conventions and Military Abbreviations vi List of Figures viii Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Britain’s Afghanistan Strategy to 1838 21 Chapter 2: The First Anglo-Afghan War: 1838–1842 67 Chapter 3: Ellenborough’s Strategic Deliberations: February – April 1842 122 Chapter 4: Ellenborough’s Strategic Deliberations: May – July 1842 159 Chapter 5: The Advance of the ‘Army of Retribution’: August – September 1842 194 Chapter 6: Kabul Operations and Withdrawal of the ‘Army of Retribution’: 242 September – December 1842 Conclusion 293 Bibliography 301 ii Acknowledgements This thesis began in 2009 as part of my preparation for the first of my two operational deployments to Afghanistan with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Reading the accounts of previous British and Russian Wars in Afghanistan, I was initially disconcerted with the prevailing view that any outside intervention in Afghanistan constituted a ‘graveyard of empires’. My reservation was reinforced with the brutal experiences of the ‘fighting season’ during the summer of 2009 in southern Afghanistan. ISAF’s Coalition Force operations were, at best, in a strategic stalemate against a resilient enemy in many of the locations that feature in this thesis – Kandahar, Gereshk, Qalat, Panjwa’i and the Arghandab River Valley. However to my surprise, upon reading Stocqueler’s biography of the British commander of the Kandahar Garrison in the First Anglo-Afghan War, Major-General Sir William Nott, I concluded that Britain’s Kandahar Campaign had indeed been an outstanding success.
