War Office, September 30, 1898.
A DESPATCH and its Enclosure, of which the following are copies, Lave been received by the Secretary of State for War from the General Officer Commanding the Force in Egypt :-

NILE EXPEDITION, 1898.

BATTLE OF KHARTUM.

From the General Officer Commanding the Force  in Egypt to the Under Secretary of State for War.

	Head-Quarters, Cairo,  September 16, 1898.
SIR,

1. I HAVE the honour to forward a Despatch from Major-General Sir H. Kitchener, K.C.B., Sirdar, describing the later phases of the Sudan Campaign and the final action of 2nd September.

2. The Sirdar, in this Despatch, recounts in brief simple terms the events of the closing phase of one of the most successful campaigns ever Conducted by a British General against a savage foe, resulting in the capture of Omdurman, the destruction of the Dervish power in the Sudan, and the re-opening of the waterway to the Equatorial Provinces.

3. The concentration of the Army on the Atbara was carried out to the hour, and the arrangements for the transport of the force to the vicinity of the battlefield were made by the Sirdar and his Staff with consummate ability. All difficulties were foreseen and provided for, and, from the start of the campaign to its close at Omdurman, operations have been conducted with a precision and completeness which have been beyond all praise; while the skill shown in the advance was equalled by the ability with which the Army was commanded in the field.
   The Sirdar's admirable disposition of the force, the accurate fire of the Artillery and Maxims, and the steady fire discipline of the Infantry, assisted by the gunboats, enabled him to destroy his enemy at long range before the bulk of the British and Egyptian Force came under any severe rifle fire, and to this cause may be attributed the comparatively small list of casualties. Never were greater results achieved at such a trifling cost.

4. The heavy loss in killed and wounded in the 21st Lancers is to be deeply regretted. But the charge itself, against an overwhelming force of sword and spear men over difficult ground, and, under unfavourable conditions, was worthy of the best traditions of British Cavalry.

5. As regards the force employed, I can say with truth that never, in the course of my service, have I seen a finer body of troops than the British Contingent of Cavalry, Artillery,. Engineers, and Infantry, placed at the disposal of the Sirdar, as regards physique, smartness, and soldierlike bearing. The appearance of the men speaks well for the present Recruiting Department, and was a source of pride to every Englishman who saw them.

6. While thoroughly endorsing the Sirdar's recommendations, I desire to call attention to the good work done by Major-General .Henderson, C.B., and Staff at Alexandria, who conducted the disembarkation of the Force, and by my own Staff at Cairo.
    On Colonel H. Cooper, .Assistant Adjutant-General, and Lieutenant-Colonel L. A. Hope, Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General, fell the brunt of the work in the despatch of the British Division to the front.
     I also desire to acknowledge the services of Brevet Colonel A. O. Green, Commanding Royal Engineer; Surgeon-General H. S. Muir, M.D., Principal Medical Officer ; Lieutenant-Colonel F. O. Leggett, Army Ordnance Department ; Colonel F. Treffry, Army Pay Department ; Veterinary-Captain Blenkinsop, and the junior Officers of the.various departments.
    Major Williams, my C.R.A., was indefatigable in organizing the mule transport for the 32nd and 37th Field Batteries.

7. I have received the greatest assistance from the Egyptian Railway Administration in the movements of the troops both going south and returning.
    Thanks to the admirable system. organized by Iskander Bey Fahmy  the Traffic Manager, all the services were rapidly and punctually carried out.

8. I am sending this Despatch home by my Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant H. Grenfell, 1st Life Guards, who acted as Orderly Officer to Brigadier-General Honourable N. G. Lyttelton, C.B., Commanding Second British Brigade in the Sudan.

I. have, &c.,
	FRANCIS GRENFELL, Lieutenant-General, Commanding in Egypt.

  

 

From Major-General Sir Herbert Kitchener, Sirdar, to Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Grenfell, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., Commanding in Egypt.

	Omdurman, September 5, 1898.
SIR,

     IT having been decided that an Expeditionary Force of British and Egyptian troops should be sent against the Khalifa's Army in Omdurman, I have the honour to inform you that the following troops were concentrated at the north end of the Sixth Cataract, in close proximity to which an advanced supply depot had been previously formed at Nasri Island.

   On 24th August the troops began moving by successive divisions to Jebel Royan where a depôt of supplies and a British communication hospital of 200 beds were established.
   On 28th August the Army marched to Wadi el Abid, and on the following day proceeded to Sayal, from whence I despatched a letter to the Khalifa warning him to remove his women and children, as I intended to bombard Omdurman unless he surrendered.
   Next day the Army marched to Sururab, and, on 1st September, reached the village of Egeiga, 2 miles south of the Kerreri hills and within 6 miles of Omdurman. Patrols of the enemy's horsemen were frequently seen during the march falling back before our Cavalry, and their outposts being driven in beyond Egeiga, our advanced scouts came in full view of Omdurman, from which large bodies of the enemy were seen streaming out and marching north.
    At noon, from the; slopes of Jebel Surgham, I saw the entire Dervish army some 3 miles off advancing towards us, the Khalifa's black flag surrounded by his Mulazemin (bodyguard) being plainly discernible. I estimated their numbers at 35,000 men, though, from subsequent investigation, this figure was probably under-estimated, their actual strength being between forty and fifty thousand. From information received I gather that it was the Khalifa's intention to have met us with this force at Kerreri, but our rapid advance surprised him.
   The troops were at once disposed around the village of Egeiga, which formed an excellent position with a clear field of fire in every direction, and shelter-trenches and zaribas were prepared.
    At 2 p.m. our vedettes reported that the enemy had halted, and later on it was observed that they were preparing bivouacs and lighting fires. Information was received that the Khalifa contemplated a night attack on our position, and preparations to repel this were made, at the same time the Egeiga villagers were sent out to obtain information in the direction of the enemy's camp with the idea that we intended a night attack, and, this coming to the Khalifa's knowledge, he decided to remain in his position; consequently we passed an undisturbed night in the zariba.
    Meanwhile the gunboats, under Commander Keppel, which had shelled the Dervish advanced camp near Kerreri on 31st August, proceeded at daylight on 1st September, towing the Howitzer Battery to the right bank, whence, in conjunction with the Irregulars under Major Stuart Wortley, their advance south was continued. After two forts had been destroyed and the villages gallantly cleared by the Irregulars, the howitzers were landed in a good position on the right bank, from whence an effective fire was opened on Omdurman, and after a few rounds the conspicuous dome over the Mahdi's tomb was partially demolished, whilst the gunboats, steaming past  the town, also effectually bombarded the forts, which replied with a heavy but ill-directed fire.
    At dawn on the following morning (2nd September) our mounted patrols reported the enemy advancing to attack, and by 6.30 A.M. the Egyptian Cavalry, which had been driven in, took up a position with the Horse Artillery, Camel Corps, and four Maxims on the Kerreri ridge on our right flank.
    At 6.40 A.M. the shouts of the advancing Dervish army became audible, and a few minutes later their flags appeared over the rising ground, forming a semicircle round our left and front faces. The guns of the 32nd Field Battery opened fire at 6.45 A.M. at a range of 2,800 yards, and the Dervishes, continuing to advance rapidly, delivered their attack with all their accustomed dash and intrepidity. In a short time the troops and Maxims on the left and front were hotly engaged, whilst the enemy's riflemen, taking up positions on the slopes of Jebel Surgham, brought a long-range fire to bear on the zariba, causing some casualties, and their spearmen, continually reinforced from the rear, made attempt after attempt to reach our lines.
    Shortly after 8 A.M. the enemy's main attack was repulsed. At this period a large and compact body of Dervishes was observed attempting to march round our right, and advancing with great rapidity they soon became engaged with our mounted troops on the Kerreri ridge. One of the gunboats which had been disposed to protect the river flanks at once proceeded down stream to afford assistance to the somewhat hardly pressed mounted troops, and coming within close range of the Dervishes inflicted heavy loss on them, upwards of 450 men being killed in a comparatively circumscribed area. The Artillery and Maxims on the left face of the zariba also co-operated, and the enemy was forced to retire again under cover of the hills.
    All attacks on our position having failed and the enemy having retired out of range, I sent out the 21st Lancers to clear the ground on our left front, and head off any retreating Dervishes from the direction of Omdurman. After crossing the slopes of Jebel Surgham they came upon a body of Dervishes concealed in a depression of the ground, these they gallantly charged, but finding, too late to withdraw, that a much larger body of the enemy lay hidden, the charge was pressed home through them, and after rallying on the other side, they rode back driving off the Dervishes and remaining in possession of the ground. Considerable loss was inflicted on the enemy, but I regret to say that here fell Lieutenant R. Grenfell (12th Lancers) and 20 men.
    Meanwhile I had ordered the Army to follow in echelon of brigades from the left. At 9.30 A.M. the front brigades having reached the sand ridge running from the west end of Jebel Surgham towards the river, a halt was ordered to enable the rear brigades to get into position, and I then received information that the Khalifa was still present in force on the left slopes of Surgham ; a change of front half right of the three leading brigades was therefore ordered, and it was during this movement that MacDonald's Brigade became hotly engaged, whilst taking up position on the right of the echelon.
    Learning from General Hunter, who was with MacDonald's Brigade, that the might require support, I despatched Wauchope's Brigade to reinforce him and ordered the remaining brigades to make a further change half right.
    No sooner had MacDonald repelled the Dervish onslaught than the force, which had retired behind the Kerreri Hills, emerged again into the plain and rapidly advanced to attack him, necessitating a further complete change of front of his brigade to the right. This movement was admirably executed, and now, supported by a portion of Wauchope's Brigade on the right and by Lewis's Brigade enfilading the attack on the left, he completely crushed this second most determined Dervish charge.
    Meantime Maxwell's and Lyttelton's Brigades had been pushed on over the slopes of Jebel Surgham, and driving before them the Dervish forces under the Khalifa's son, Osman Sheikh ed Din, they established themselves in a position which cut off the retreat on Omdurman of the bulk of the Dervish army, who were soon seen streaming in a disorganized mass towards the high hills many miles to the west, closely pursued by the mounted troops, who cleared the right front and flanks of all hesitating and detached parties of the enemy.
   The battle was now practically over and Lyttelton's and Maxwell's Brigades marched down to Khor Shambat, in the direction of Omdurman, which was reached at 12.30 P.M., and here the troops rested and watered. The remainder of Hunter's Division and Wauchope's Brigade reached the same place at 3 P.M.
   At 2 P.M. I advanced with Maxwell's Brigade and the 32nd Field Battery through the suburbs of Omdurman to the great wall of the Khalifa's enclosure, and leaving two guns and three battalions to guard the approaches, the 13th Sudanese Battalion and four guns (32nd Field Battery) were pushed down by the north side of the wall to the river, and, accompanied by three gunboats which had been previously ordered to be ready for this movement, these troops penetrated the breaches in the wall made by the howitzers, marched south along the line of forts, and turning in at the main gateway found a straight road leading to the Khalifa's house and Madhi's tomb : these were speedily occupied, the Khalifa having quitted the town only a short time before our entry, after a vain effort to collect his men for further resistance.
    The gunboats continued up the river clearing the streets of Dervishes, and having returned to the remainder of the brigade left at the corner of the wall, these were pushed forward and occupied all the main portions of the town. Guards were at once mounted over the principal buildings and Khalifa's stores, and after visiting the prison and releasing the European prisoners, the troops bivouacked at 7 P.M. around the town, after a long and trying day throughout which all ranks displayed qualities of high courage, discipline, and endurance.
    The gunboats and Egyptian Cavalry and Camel Corps at once started in pursuit south ; but owing to the exhausted condition of the animals and the flooded state of the country, which prevented them from communicating with the gunboat carrying their forage and rations, they were reluctantly obliged to abandon the pursuit after following up the flying Khalifa for 30 miles through marshy ground. The gunboats continued south for 90 miles, but were unable to come in touch with the Khalifa., who left the river and fled westward towards Kordofan, followed by the armed friendly tribes who took up the pursuit on the return of the mounted troops.
    Large stores of ammunition, powder, some 60 guns of various sorts, besides vast quantities of rifles, swords, spears, banners, drums, and other war materials, were captured on the battlefield and in Omdurman.
    The result of this battle is the practical annihilation of the Khalifa's army, the consequent extinction of Mahdism in the Sudan, and the submission of the whole country formerly ruled under Egyptian authority. This has re-opened vast territories to the benefits of peace, civilization, and good government.
    On 4th September the British and Egyptian flags were hoisted with due ceremony on the walls of the ruined Palace of Khartum, close to the spot where General Gordon fell, and this event is looked upon by the rejoicing populations as marking the commencement of a new era of peace and prosperity for their unfortunate country.
    It would be impossible for any commander to have been more ably seconded than I was by the General Officers serving under me. Major-Generals Hunter, Rundle, and Gatacre have displayed the highest qualities as daring and skilful leaders, as well as being endowed with administrative capabilities of a high order. It is in the hands of such Officers that the Service may rest assured their best interests will, under all circumstances, be honourably upheld, and while expressing to them my sincere thanks for their cordial co-operation with me, I have every confidence in most highly recommending the names of these General Officers for the favourable consideration of Her Majesty's Government.
    The manner in which the Brigadiers handled their respective brigades, the thorough knowledge of their profession, and their proved skill in the field, mark them out, one and all, as fitted for higher rank, and I have great pleasure in submitting their names for favourable consideration : Brigadier-Generals N. G. Lyttelton and A. G. Wauchope ; Lieutenant-Colonels J. G. Maxwell, H. A. MacDonald, D. F. Lewis, and J. Collinson.
    MacDonald's Brigade was highly tested, bearing the brunt of two severe attacks delivered at-very short intervals from different directions, and t am sure it must be a source of the greatest satisfaction to Colonel MacDonald, as it is to myself and the whole Army, that the very great care he has for long devoted to the training of his brigade has proved so effectual, enabling his men to behave with the greatest steadiness under most trying circumstances, and repelling most successfully two determined Dervish onslaughts.
    I should also mention under this category the excellent services performed by Colonel R. H. Martin, Commanding 21st Lancers ; by Lieutenant - Colonel Long, Commanding the combined British and Egyptian Artillery ; and by Lieutenant-Colonel R. G. Broadwood, Commanding the Egyptian Cavalry ; as well as by Major R. J. Tudway, Commanding the Camel Corps: I consider that these various arms could not have been more efficiently commanded than they were throughout the recent operations. The best result was, I believe, attained, and it is due to the skilful handling of their respective commands that the Dervish defeat was so complete.
    The Medical Department was administered with ability and skill by Surgeon-General Taylor, Principal Medical Officer, who was well assisted by Colonel McNamara, whilst the medical organization of the Egyptian Army fully maintained its previous excellent reputation, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Gallwey and his Staff. The general medical arrangements were all that could have been desired, and I believe the minimum of pain and maximum of comfort procurable on active service in this country' was attained by the unremitting energy, untiring zeal and devotion to their duty of the entire Medical Staff.
    Owing to the long line of communications by rail, river, and desert, the work of maintaining a thoroughly efficient supply and transport system, both by land and water, was arduous in the extreme, and that a large British and Egyptian Force was brought up to within striking distance of Khartum, amply supplied with all its requirements, reflects the greatest credit on the supply and transport system. I wish to cordially thank the Officers of the Supply, Transport and Railway Departments for the satisfactory results which have attended their labours.
    I consider that the excellent ration which was always provided kept the men strong and healthy and fit to endure all the hardships of an arduous campaign, enabling them, at a critical moment, to support the exceptional fatigue of continuous marching and fighting for some 14 hours during the height of a Sudan summer.
    The Intelligence Department were as usual thoroughly efficient; and their forecasts of the intentions and actions of the enemy were accurate. Colonel Wingate and Slatin Pasha worked indefatigably, and, with their Staff, deserve a prominent place amongst those to whom the success of the operations is due.
    The excellent service performed by the gunboats under Commander Keppel and his subordinate Officers of the Royal Navy is deserving of special mention. These gunboats have been for a long time past almost constantly under fire ; they have made bold reconnaissances past the enemy's forts and rifle pits, and on the 1st and 2nd September, in conjunction with the Irregular levies under Major Stuart Wortley, and the Howitzer Battery, they materially aided in the capture of all the forts on both banks of the Nile, and in making the fortifications of Omdurman untenable. In bringing to notice the readiness of resource, daring, and ability of Commander. Keppel And his Officers, I wish also, to add my appreciation of the services rendered by Engineer E. Bond, Royal Navy, and the engineering staff, as well as of the detachments of the Royal Marine Artillery, and the guncrews, who have gained the hearty praise of their commanders.
    The Reverend R. Brindle, the Reverend J. M. Simms, the Reverend A. W. B. Watson, and the Reverend O. S. Watkins won the esteem of all by their untiring devotion to their sacred duties and by their unfailing and cheerful kindness to the sick and wounded at all times.
    To all my personal Staff my thanks are specially due for the great assistance they at all times rendered me.
    In conclusion, I have great pleasure in expressing my appreciation of the services rendered by the detachments of the Royal Engineers, Army Ordnance Corps, and Telegraph and Postal Departments.
   The names of the following Officers, non-commissioned officers and men have been brought to my notice for good service :-
