Photograph of soldiers from the King's Royal Rifle Corps who served in the Anglo-Egyptian War. They are arranged in a group with two sitting on the ground, five sitting on makeshift wooden benches and five standing. They are wearing military uniform and holding rifles. There are large plants behind.
The Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 repressed the nationalist ‘Urabi Revolt and led to increased British control of Egypt. This photograph was taken in 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).
