---------------------------------------------------------------
At the Battle of Omdurman (September 2, 1898) an army commanded by the British General Sir Horatio Kitchener defeated the army of the Khalifa, the Dervishes. It was a bloody demonstration of the superiority of machine guns and artillery over older weapons and marked the successful end of the British efforts to re-conquer the Sudan. Around 10,000 Dervishes were killed, 15,000 wounded and 5000 were taken prisoner. Kitchener's force lost 48 men with 382 wounded. The Khalifa escaped and survived until 1899 while Kitchener was en-nobled as an earl, Kitchener of Khartoum, for his victory. This title examines the British light cavalry regiment - the 21st Lancers - involvement in the battle, for which they were awarded three Victoria Crosses. The "Military Classics" series brings military historical analysis to bear on a specific battle or campaign. Illustrated throughout with a mix of archive shots and diagrams showing the course of the campaign, the centrepiece of each is a colour section showing the uniforms and equipment of a range of combatants in detail.
