Photograph of three soldiers from the Royal Engineers beside a telegraph wagon during the Anglo-Egyptian War. Standing from left to right are Corporal Seggie, Sergeant Tubb and Driver Martin. All are wearing military uniform and are holding their helmet in their right hand. There is a telegraph wagon behind them and buildings can be seen in the distance.

The Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 repressed the nationalist ‘Urabi Revolt and led to increased British control of Egypt.

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).
