EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882, as British troops disembark from their ships at Ismailia, Egypt. The soldiers, dressed in their full regalia, are seen stepping onto the shores with determination and resolve, as they prepare to engage in battle against the Egyptian forces. The steam-powered ships in the background, with their sails raised, add to the sense of movement and momentum. Ismailia, located on the east bank of the Suez Canal, was a strategic point of contention during the war, as it controlled access to the canal and the Mediterranean Sea. The Anglo-Egyptian War was a significant event in the history of the British Empire, marking the end of Egyptian rule under the Khedive Ismail and the beginning of British occupation. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The soldiers, with their stern expressions and military precision, embody the spirit of the British Army during this period, while the ships and sailors represent the might of the British Navy. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the Anglo-Egyptian War and the broader history of the British Empire. It provides a unique perspective on the military tactics and strategies used during this time and offers insight into the experiences of the soldiers and sailors who fought in this conflict.
