The late AMEER was the eldest son of Mohammed and nephew of the AMEER SHERE ALL, and AZUL KHAN, grandson of Dost Mahommed, was born in 1830. In 1864, on the out break of civil war, he took sides against his
uncle and won the battles of Shaikhabad and Khelat-i-Ghitza. In 1868, however, YAKOUB KHAN, the son of SHERE ALL, defeated him and he fled to Russian territory and was protected at Samarkand and granted
