The entire compliment of British artillery can be seen in this shot: in the UPPER LEFT are 2 RHA 9pdrs. whose crews have been reduced to nil by overwhelming Afghan counter-battery fire, at LOWER LEFT is Maclaine's gun (AKA: "Battery") which he and his crew have abandoned but is still being fought for by one wing of Jacob's Rifles vs. a horde of charging Tribal horsemen, and at CENTER RIGHT the as yet untouched Smooth Bore Battery, with the other wing of Jacob's Rifles deployed to the guns' own right. Also visible in the UPPER RIGHT are 66th Regt. & 1st Bombay Grenadiers in the center nullah, facing East but heading South toward Mundabad Ravine as fast as their movement dice can carry them...
