EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in British military history - the aftermath of the capture of Alexandria in 1882 during the Anglo-Egyptian War. The image, taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, showcases a group of British forces standing proudly on the seafront. Dressed in their uniforms, these brave soldiers exude strength and determination as they survey their surroundings. The informal nature of their stance suggests a brief respite from battle, allowing them to momentarily relax and reflect on their victory. The scene is set against the backdrop of Egypt's stunning coastline, with cannons and sandbags strategically placed for defense purposes. This coastal setting emphasizes the maritime significance of this conflict. The photograph offers us a glimpse into life during this turbulent period in North Africa. It serves as a testament to both the power and reach of the British Empire at its height, as well as highlighting the bravery and sacrifice made by these men who fought for their country. Preserved within a private collection today, this image continues to serve as a reminder of Britain's military prowess during one chapter in its rich history.
