Photograph of Troop Sergeant Major Lewis of the Royal Engineers with a telegraph wagon during the Anglo-Egyptian War. He is standing facing partly left holding his helmet in his right hand and a sword in his left. The wagon is behind him and a building 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).
