EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, takes us back to a defining moment in history - the defence of Egyptian Fort Mex during its intense bombardment by the British Navy on 11th July 1882. The image portrays a scene that is both awe-inspiring and hauntingly poignant. In this landscape format, we witness a group of determined men standing amidst the ruins of Fort Mex's coastline defence. Clad in military attire, these brave soldiers exude resilience as they prepare their artillery weapons - cannons aimed towards an unseen enemy. Their unwavering spirit shines through despite being surrounded by rubble and destruction. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly a majestic sailing ship anchored at sea, symbolizing Britain's formidable naval power during this conflict. Its presence serves as a reminder of the immense challenge faced by those defending Fort Mex against such overwhelming force. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that only men were present at this crucial juncture.
