Just to be confusing this battle is also referred to by some other names / spellings: The Battle of Tamaai (often seen on campaign medals) The Battle of Tamanieh The Battle of Tamai was fought during the Mahdist revolt against Egyptian control in Sudan. After a botched attempt by their army to relief the garrison besieged by Osman Digna's Beja tribesmen at Tokar, the Egyptians appealed to the British for help. Despite his reservations about getting involved in a bloody, costly and pointless war in the Sudan, Prime Minister Gladstone agreed to send an expeditionary force to the Red Sea coast of Sudan. The force, led by General Gerald Graham VC consisted of just over 4,000 men drawn from: 1st Black Watch 3rd King's Royal Rifle Corps 1st Gordon Highlanders 2nd Royal Irish Fusiliers 1st York & Lancaster Regiment The Royal Marines Light Infantry 10th Hussars 19th Hussars Royal Artillery (20 guns) Naval Brigade (with 6 Gatling & Gardiner machine guns). Having defeated the Mahdist-supporting Beja at the battle of El Teb, General Graham advanced on Osman Digna's camp at the wells at Tamai. In a 3 hour battle, the Beja warriors managed to break into the British square - something almost unheard of since the Napoleonic Wars - before being repulsed. In the end British army discipline and firepower turned the tables on the Mahdists and delivered a British victory. Nevertheless, with over 100 men killed and a further 100 injured, the battle of Tamai was the costliest engagement that the British fought during the Mahdist war. #battleoftamai #mahdistwar #sudan #britishempire #waronthesea Follow me at: www.thehistorychap.com Instagram:https://bit.ly/3iySrAj Facebook:https://bit.ly/37IUfkH    / thehistorychap   My name is Chris Green ("The History Chap") and I am on a mission to share the amazing history of Britain so that we can appreciate where we have come from and why we are here. History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens. So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life. My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"
