EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment during the Mahdist War in Sudan, specifically the Sudan Campaign involving Australian Infantry. Dated between 1881 and 1889, the image shows a group of Australian soldiers, clad in their military uniforms and armed with rifles, marching determinedly away from a harbor. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the soldiers' faces and the water in the background. In the foreground, a soldier carries a lantern, perhaps signaling the end of the day or the beginning of a night march. The Mahdist War, also known as the Mahdist Revolt or the Sudanese War, was a significant military conflict that took place in Sudan between the Mahdist forces led by Muhammad Ahmad and the Anglo-Egyptian forces. The Australian Infantry's involvement in this campaign was part of the larger effort by European powers to reclaim control of Sudan and protect their interests in the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Australian soldiers during this period, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in history. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, which is housed at Mary Evans Prints Online and is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the Mahdist War and the role of Australian forces during this time.
