A few indifferent pictures I took last week, when I visited the museum, which might interest a few enthusiasts.

A few are a bit blurred but my camera was n't up to the 'No Flash' rule in the subdued lighting.

Good stuff, esp. the first picture. I’m doing a bit of research on the Egyptian war at the moment. The British were equipped with a real confusion of uniforms, and any info on who wore what is much appreciated.
