A first (but novice) impression:

Wow!

Ed,

Thanks I never relised there have been so many wars in Afganistan

Order of Victory

Yep, and the Afghans have, eventually, won these wars (I did not include the invasion of Alexander "the Great", though Afghans would list it too).

The Fourth Afgan War didI miss three

Order of Victory

Seems so

1st - 1839-42

2nd - 1878-80

3rd - 1919

4th - 1979-89

5th - 2001-??

See: http://faculty.winthrop.edu/haynese/medals/Afghan/first.html et seq.

Does anyone know of a source for the Sylvester book which covers this area? I don't ven have correct name or publisher.

Hugh

Nothing covers "the area". The Sylvester book (and I, too, have trouble remembering title) is just Vietnam as I recall and just in the context of the US war there.
