Giza, Egypt, 1885

Photograph, Egypt, 1885.

Soldiers serving in or passing through Egypt were often keen to visit historic landmarks such as the pyramids and Sphinx at Giza. Successive generations of British soldiers captured or collected such photographic images, serving in the two World Wars or, as is likely with this photograph, in the campaigns in the Sudan.

From album of photographs, including views of Egypt and the Holy Land, 1884-1885.
