Listed below are some of the despatches
related to the Reconquest of the Sudan 1896-98, the
mopping up operations - including the death of Kalifa
and Ahmed Fedil - and further operations to which a
clasp for the Khedive's Sudan medal was awarded. This
list is incomplete; we are missing despatches/reports
corresponding to the clasps; Firket, Bahr-el Ghazal
1900-02, Jerok, Talodi, and Katfia. (the two remaining
clasps; Sudan 1897 and Sudan 1899, are not specific to a
particular action) Note; only part of a despatch may
relate to the clasp's particular battle or action, or
all of it. |
