EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Non-commissioned Officers (NCOs) of the renowned 11th Sudanese Battalion, a distinguished unit in Colonel Kitchener's Egyptian Army during the late 1890s. The 11th Sudanese Battalion, famously known as the best battalion in the Egyptian army, was part of Colonel MacDonald's Brigade that executed the masterful evolution of three changes of front at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. The Battle of Omdurman was a pivotal moment in the Anglo-Egyptian conquest of the Sudan and marked the end of the Mahdist State. The 11th Sudanese Battalion, comprised primarily of African soldiers, played a crucial role in this historic battle. Their bravery and discipline were unmatched, making them an indispensable asset to the Egyptian Army. Colonel MacDonald's Brigade performed an intricate maneuver, known as a 'masterly evolution,' which left the enemy forces in disarray and ultimately led to the Egyptian victory. The NCOs in this photograph are seen proudly displaying their insignia and weapons, embodying the strength and determination of the 11th Sudanese Battalion. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich military history of Egypt and the Sudan during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to the courage and valor of the African soldiers who fought alongside European officers in the Egyptian Army, contributing significantly to the success of the Anglo-Egyptian forces in the Battle of Omdurman.
