Photograph of soldiers from the Royal Marine Artillery who served in the Anglo-Egyptian War. Gathered around a gun carriage from left to right are Brigadier Graham, General Lucket, General Collir and General Ward. They are all wearing the uniform of the regiment and Graham is holding a bugle. There are trees in the distance.
The Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 repressed the nationalist ‘Urabi Revolt and led to increased British control of Egypt.
