Photograph of soldiers from the Scots Guards who served in the Anglo-Egyptian War. They are arranged in a group with Private Proctor sitting to the left and five others standing. They are wearing military uniform and two are holding bearskin hats. There is a painted backdrop behind and a patterned carpet on the floor.
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).
