Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reprint of a limited edition of only 500 copies of William Galloway s detailed account of the Battle of Tofrek, fought on March 22nd 1885, an engagement which only narrowly avoided becoming another Isandhlwana - a British military disaster. Tofrek was fought between the advance guard of General Graham s Suakin Field Force under General John McNeil VC, against Muslim Mahdist forces under Osman Dinga in the eastern Sudan. McNeil was seeking to establish a staging post for stores when his mixed force of the 1st Berkshire Regiment, Royal Marines, Engineers and Sikhs was set upon by a large force of Mahdists who had assembled under the cover of surrounding thick thorn bushes, or zeriba . At first the British response was hampered by confusion, dust, and black smoke form their new Martini-Henry rifles, but gradually they rallied in squares, their firepower told, and the enemy, armed with spears and swords, drew off. Arab losses were at least 1,600 and the British lost some 140. With 12 appendices, and 13 illustrations, maps, diagrams etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Tofrek: Fought Near Suakin, March 22nd, 1885, Under Major-General Sir John On their own showing, it is indeed evident that not one Special who reported, not one editor who commented, on the events of the 22nd, was in the slightest degree aware what the defensive dis positions of the troops really were, or whether any preparations were made for the eventuality of an attack at all; the natural inference being that none existed. Of the fact, especially, that two-thirds of the whole F orce - practically the entire Indian Contingent - were under arms throughout the day, nothing was known. The Rallying Square, composed, until about two o'clock, of all the British troops not engaged in fatigue duty, fared little better; in the Daily News 1 it masquerades as forty Royal Marines engaged in wood-cutting, who form a small square and kill a hundred rebels; in other cases it is two companies of the Berks, caught dining, lunching, or engaged in other avocations, who also improvise a square, and perform wonders. In every instance it receives prominence merely as a chance incident standing out in relief against a background of disorder and confusion. That the story is a mere burlesque of one of the stated military dispositions of the day is never once recognised.

Download or read book British Military Operations in Egypt and the Sudan written by Harold E. Raugh and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2008-05-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Army's campaigns in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899 were among the most dramatic and hard-fought in British military history. In 1882, the British sent an expeditionary force to Egypt to quell the Arabic Revolt and secure British control of the Suez Canal, its lifeline to India. The enigmatic British Major General Charles G. Gordon was sent to the Sudan in 1884 to study the possibility of evacuating Egyptian garrisons threatened by Muslim fanatics, the dervishes, in the Sudan. While the dervishes defeated the British forces on a number of occasions, the British eventually learned to combat the insurrection and ultimately, largely through superior technology and firepower, vanquished the insurgents in 1898. British Operations in Egypt and the Sudan: A Selected Bibliography enumerates and generally describes and annotates hundreds of contemporary, current, and hard-to-find books, journal articles, government documents, and personal papers on all aspects of British military operations in Egypt and the Sudan from 1882 to 1899. Arranged chronologically and topically, chapters cover the various campaigns, focusing on specific battles, leading military personalities, and the contributions of imperial nations as well as supporting services of the British Army. This definitive volume is an indispensable reference for researching imperialism, colonial history, and British military operations, leadership, and tactics.
