The Army
of 1882 had just emerged from the many modernising reforms effected
between 1856-81. These included: centralisation of the logistic support
into Departmental Corps; opening of schools of instruction; abolition of
the purchase of commissions; improvements in pay, living conditions and
disciplinary measures; new weapons and tactics; and greater integration of
the second-line Militia and Volunteer Force with the Regular Army. This volume in the acclaimed British Army on Campaign
mini-series details the uniforms, organisation and equipment used in a
succession of campaigns across the face of the globe |

In the
Sudan in 1881, the obscure son of a carpenter pronounced himself the 'Mahdi'
or 'Guided One of the Prophet', the long-expected Messiah of the Islamic
faith, plunging an Egypt which was then co-ruled by Britain and France,
into war. Years of Egyptian mismanagement of Sudan had stirred resentment
to boiling point, and to make matters worse Egypt itself was in turmoil. This addition to Osprey's acclaimed
Men-at-Arms series provides an absorbing account of these and subsequent
events, including the story of Khartoum, General Charles Gordon, and the
Nile Expedition. Robert Wikinson-Latham writes with clarity and insight of
the incidents behind, and events of, the Sudan campaigns, detailing the
organisation and fortunes of all forces involved, and painting a
fascinating picture of the place and its peoples from 1881-1898.

The two
campaigns fought by the British in the Sudan, in 1884-5 and 1896-8, were
far more than an attempt to relieve Khartoum and the eventual reconquest
of the country. This title looks in particular, although not exclusively, at
the battles fought by the relief columns. General Gordon's first campaign
from Suakim is also examined in this excellent work. |
