Photo 1253/1(74)
Title:
'Camp and Abattis At Sherpur. 5th Punjaub Infantry. 25th Dec 1879.' This picture was taken two days after one of the fiercest battles of the war. A force of 50,000 Afghans besieged and then attacked the cantonment and were repulsed by the defenders making special use of the new ‘Gatling’ machine guns. Why Burke didn’t photograph the aftermath is a mystery – more than 3,000 Afghan bodies lay on the battlefield. Photographer(s): Burke, John (1843–1900)
