Photograph of a group of soldiers from the Royal Horse Artillery who served in the Anglo-Egyptian War. They are arranged in a group around two large canons. They are wearing military uniform and several are holding signalling equipment. There is a building behind with three windows with wooden shutters.
The Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 repressed the nationalist ‘Urabi Revolt and led to increased British control of Egypt. This photograph was taken at Cairo.
This photograph comes from an album from Queen Victoria’s collection titled 'AFGHANISTAN AND EGYPT PORTRAITS 1879 AND 1882' (RCIN 2501413). The album contains photographs of British soldiers who served in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80) and Anglo-Egyptian War (1882).
