572 12th of October the army marched on its return to India in three divisions, commanded respectively by Generals Pollock, McCaskill, and Nott; General Sale being sent with a light corps in advance, to clear the flanks, and crown the heights of the Khoord Cabul Pass. Some annoyance was experienced from the Ghiljies and the Khyberies on the march, which occasioned several casualties in the rear division; but with these exceptions, the troops arrived in safety at Ferozepore on the 18th of November, where they were joyfully received by the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief To the rough encounters of "grim-visaged war" now succeeded the soft dalliance and gorgeous pageantry of dinners, balls, and reviews; and on one of these festive occasions, in proposing the health of General Sale and the brave garrison of Jellalabad, Lord Ellenborough said, that it was they who had saved the name and fame of the British empire in India.
