EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the Mahdist War in Sudan, East Africa. The image showcases the New South Wales Infantry, part of the British colonial troops, as they march into camp at Suakim on March 29,1885. The soldiers are dressed in their military uniforms, donning pith helmets to shield themselves from the scorching heat of the African continent. The photograph exudes a sense of imperial power and colonialism prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's military presence and influence across distant lands. The men depicted here represent not only Australia but also the larger British army fighting against the Mahdist Sudanese forces. The composition is strikingly captured by an unknown photographer and was later featured in "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria". This historical document provides us with glimpses into significant events that shaped our world during Queen Victoria's reign. As we observe this image today, it allows us to reflect upon past conflicts and understand how different nations played their roles on foreign soil. It reminds us of both the bravery displayed by these soldiers and raises questions about imperialism and its consequences. This print serves as a valuable piece for historians seeking to explore warfare tactics employed during this period while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into an important chapter in global history.
