In the Gandamak treaty concluded in May 1879, Ameer Yaqub Khan Barakzai surrendered districts of Kurram, Pishin, Sibi, Harnai and Thal-Chotiali (Loralai), and the control of the Khyber and the Michini Passes to British empire.

The original caption reads: "The End of the Afghan War — The Ameer Signing the Treaty of Peace at Gandamak, May 26th, 1879." At this point, the British — as in the previous war with the Afghans — were too hasty in concluding that the war had been won and was over. Source
