With two photographs, one upper torso studio photograph from Elliot and Fry, London, the second (8¼x6½ inches) taken during Lord Kitchener's visit to Egypt, Kitchener in civilian suit with Major-General Maxwell and other men of the 21st Lancers who were in the Battle of Omdurman (two corner faults).
