The Parwan Campaign took place from October–November 1840, as a result of Dost Mohammad Khan's rebellion against Shah Shuja and the British backed regime. The campaign saw over thirteen battles, with each ending in an Afghan victory, including a final confrontation at Parwan Darra with Robert Sale and Dost Mohammad.
