"Remembering Kebir: A Tale of Courage and Sacrifice" Kebir, a name that echoes through history, holds significant importance in various contexts. From the Sudan Wars to the Battle of Tel-El-Kebir, this name carries stories of bravery and resilience. In Blida, Algeria lies the solemn Sidi el-Kebir cemetery, serving as a poignant reminder of lives lost in conflicts. One such story is that of Sebastian's tragic demise during these tumultuous times. His memory lives on amidst exhibitions held at Humphreys Hall in Knightsbridge, raising funds for the Egyptian War effort. Engravings depicting The Nile Expedition and The Battle of Tel-el-Kebir capture the intensity and valor displayed by soldiers on those fateful days. Tel-el-Kebir itself witnessed both triumph and tragedy. Engravings portray scenes over trenches where battles were fought with unwavering determination. Some images depict wounded men at Herbert Hospital in Woolwich - their pain a testament to their sacrifice. Amidst the chaos, victory prevailed as captured in an engraving titled "The War in Egypt - 'Victory. '" It showcases scenes immediately after Tel-el-Kebir's capture on September 13th – a momentous occasion etched into history forever. Flags from Tel-el-Kebir and Tokar are vividly depicted through chromolithographs; symbols representing strength amid adversity. Meanwhile, an engraving captures the grandeur of Jamia el Kebir (the Great Mosque) entrance in Nablus – showcasing architectural marvels untouched by conflict. Kebir stands not only as a place but also as a symbol; it represents countless untold stories filled with heroism and heartache alike. Let us remember those who fought valiantly throughout these historic events – their legacy forever imprinted upon our collective memory.
