@martynrobin121 Cool

@McGrenzer no, churchill himself talks about the egyptian soldiers.
he said that they could be decent soldiers but they were never fierce,
besides, if you look at the start of the war you see a lot of battles with egyptian troops fleeing the battlefield
one example, i believe that it was in the battle of el obied that lots and lots of egyptian soldiers deserted

@bartieboy93 I hope you don't think the Egyptian and Sudanese soldiers who fought under Gordon were cowards. They were probably as good as any of the local contingents from other parts of the British empire--Gurkhas, Sikhs, KAR, etc.--who fought alongside or, sometimes, in place of British Army units. Often the fault, if there was one, was with their European officers.

cowards led by one of the bravest men ever

Sorry Gov, what the hell are we doing here?

@TimeTimer3000 you are the slaves in Germany and the low class in Europe, the turks were cut off from Sudan with sharp swords

At the siege of Khartoum for example there were only 3 British people. General Gordon had been put in charge of the evacuation of the Sudan and the devolving of power (but had then been trapped in Khartoum by the Mahdi's men). With him he brought Lieutenant Colonel J.D. Stewart to help. The third and final Briton was the civilian Frank Power, British Consul and "Times" Correspondent. Gordon's most prominent commander (that he devolved power to) was an Egyptian soldier called Muhammed Ali Pasha.

These troops werent British. The army in Sudan was Egyptian, its officers were a mixture of Ottoman (Turk) and British.
