Unclear
The last few sentences make reference to Lady Sales being a prisoner, in a context that makes it seem she was a prisoner when Sales himself died, but the Massacre of Elphinstone's army page makes it clear that Sales indeed rescued her from the Afghanis years before. Perhaps the mention of the wife should be split off into a separate paragraph (or even a separate article for her). 74.140.144.223 13:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

BIT OF A MESS ISNT IT. THE FOLLOWING IS FROM WIKIPEDIA'S ARTICLE ON POLLOCK "Meanwhile the Afghan leader had fled towards Turkhistan with his prisoners, and Pollock ordered his military secretary, Sir Richmond Shakespeare, to rescue them, with Sir Robert Sale, the commander of the Jellalabad garrison, in support. Shakespeare caught up with them on the 17th and delivered them to Sale on the 20th. Amongst the rescued captives was Sale's own wife and daughter." His service with Gough was during the Sikh War three years after his wife was rescued. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.139.23.160 (talk) 08:53, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
