The military camp belonged to Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts, a British soldier who commanded the Kurram field force during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Located near the town of Thall in what is now Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province, this historic image showcases an important chapter in India's history. In this scene, we see a caravan of camels and horses lined up alongside soldiers and their equipment.
