Photograph of four soldiers from the Coldstream Guards who served in the Anglo-Egyptian War. Colour Sergeant Harris is sitting on a chair facing partly left. Standing from left to right behind him are Colour Sergeant Turner, Colour Sergeant Milne and Colour Sergeant Hill. They are wearing a variety of military uniforms and are holding rifles. There is a brick wall behind.
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).
