	On receiving the news of the rising of the Afghans at [[Kabul]] in November 1841, Nott took energetic measures.

Nott at once decided to disobey, on the supposition that Elphinstone was not a free agent at Kabul; and as soon as he heard the news of the ''[[Massacre of Elphinstone's army]]'', he urged the government at [[Calcutta]] to maintain the garrison of [[Kandahar]] with a view to avenging the massacre and the murder of Macnaghten. In March he inflicted a severe defeat on the enemy near Kandahar, and in May drove them with heavy loss out of the [[Baba Wali Pass]].
