EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of camaraderie and strength within the 10th Sudanese Battalion during the late 19th century. Painted in watercolor by Major B. D. A Donne, a member of the battalion himself, this artwork showcases a sergeant and two other ranks proudly standing together. The 10th Sudanese Battalion was an integral part of the Egyptian Army, recruited from Sudan but under British command. Established in 1883 by Captain B. D. A Donne, this courageous unit played a significant role in various conflicts throughout Sudan starting from 1884. In this image, we witness these brave soldiers exuding confidence and discipline as they fulfill their duties. The sergeant stands tall at the forefront while his comrades stand beside him with unwavering loyalty. Their uniforms are meticulously detailed, reflecting their commitment to professionalism even amidst challenging circumstances. Beyond their military roles as sentries and guards, these men represent more than just soldiers; they symbolize resilience and unity against adversity. They embody the spirit of brotherhood that transcends borders and cultures. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic talent. It allows us to glimpse into an era where bravery knew no bounds and sacrifice was commonplace. As we admire this print today, let us honor those who served valiantly in defense of their nations while acknowledging that behind every soldier's uniform lies a unique story waiting to be told.
