The scene is filled with action and tension, as the troops navigate through rough terrain and face unknown dangers in their mission to assert dominance over West Africa. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated, as it marked a turning point in colonial expansion and power struggles on the continent.
The bravery and resolve of these British soldiers is palpable in every detail of this photograph - from their stern expressions to their strategic positioning on the beach.
