EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Safed Sang camp in 1878, during the Second Afghan War. Taken by John Burke, an unofficial photographer accompanying the Peshawar Valley Field Force, this image showcases a British camp with men from the Royal Horse Artillery positioned in the foreground. In the distance, we can see the majestic Safed Koh mountain range. The strategic importance of this location on the North West Frontier cannot be understated as it lay on the route from Peshawar to Kabul. The camp served as a crucial base for British forces during their campaign in Afghanistan. Burke's talent behind the lens is evident in his composition and attention to detail. This photograph offers us a glimpse into military life at that time - soldiers standing tall and proud amidst their equipment and tents against a backdrop of rugged mountains. Part of an album containing 100 photographs by John Burke circa 1878, this particular image provides historical insight into one chapter of British military history. Preserved by London's National Army Museum, it serves as a testament to both Burke's skill as a photographer and Britain's involvement in conflicts abroad during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect upon its significance within our collective past while appreciating its artistic value captured through photography.
