English: Player's Cigarettes cigarette card showing a rifleman of the General Post Office Rifles in 1882 uniform.

The back of the card reads: "GENERAL POST OFFICE RIFLES, 1882. Now: 32nd (7th City of London) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, R.E.

The 24th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers were largely composed of workers from the Post Office and, at the time of Sir Garnet Wolseley’s Egyptian Campaign in 1882, the Regiment sent to the British Forces in Egypt a Telegraph Detachment. The picture, reconstructed from a contemporary newspaper drawing, shows a member of the detachment in the uniform worn as they marched away from London. The background shows a scene in the campaign. This campaign won for the regiment the first Volunteer overseas battle honour, “Egypt, 1882.” In 1921 the P.O. Rifles amalgamated with the 7th (City of London) Bn., The London Regt., and subsequently became the 32nd A.A. Bn., R.E."
