I'm interested to see the kind of stock that posts here on Veeky Forums
post any old family photo's; relatives from decades or centuries ago, name the conflict or an event like manifest destiny in America or the penal colonies in Australia etc
here's my Great Great Grandfather in the 1850's, the first photographed war, The Crimean War
He's British as I am, they obviously didn't have coloured photo's back then so you can't see the red on his jacket
I respect them too much to scan them in and post their image on the internet for attention
it's not for attention, you can't find photo's like this on the internet, it's more interesting when people post them and explain the story behind them, but ok be a fag

TLDR Y'ALL BRITS THE REASON I DIDN'T SEE MY ANCESTORS

Im Egyptian
I probably shouldn't tell you then that my Great Great Grandfather on my mother side fought in the Anglo-Egyptian war
did this really happen?
hearsay over a great many generations is not verifiable, if you believe it then I suppose it's possible that you're just predisposed against us
Yes it did
And no I don't hate you for something your ancestors did
There are 2.
Did he fight during the one in mohammed ali Pashas reign or did he fight in urabis reign ?
