The print captures a moment in history, showcasing the brave soldiers of the 4th Goorkha Regiment manning entrenchments during the late 19th century. The image is believed to have been taken during their service in Afghanistan between 1878 and 1880, specifically during the 2nd Afghan War. In this powerful photograph, we witness these courageous men standing tall and resolute as they defend their position. Their disciplined formation and unwavering determination are evident as they prepare for battle. It serves as a testament to their loyalty, skill, and dedication to duty. The regiment's involvement in key battles such as Ali Masjid and Kabul, along with its participation in Lord Robert's renowned march from Kabul to Kandahar, further solidifies their significance within military history. This particular image is part of an album compiled by Lieutenant-Colonel C A Mercer of the 4th Gurkha Rifle Regiment.

Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this photograph not only showcases infantry tactics but also highlights the artistry of early photography.
