Gandamak is a village of Afghanistan located between Kabul and Jalalabad, {{convert|35|mi}} from Jalalabad on the old road to Kabul.

History

On the retreat from Kabul of General Elphinstone's army in 1842, a hill near Gandamak was the scene of the Battle of Gandamak, during which the last survivors of the force—twenty officers and forty-five British soldiers of the 44th East Essex Regiment—were massacred, leaving only one survivor. Gandamak is also notable for the Treaty of Gandamak, which was signed here on May{{nbsp}}26, 1879, between the British government and His Highness Muhammad Yakub Khan,[1] Amir of Afghanistan and its dependencies.
