Sketches in the Soudan, 1898. 'The Soudan Advance. 1. On the Way to Halfa on a Stern-Wheeler; 2. First Detachment Lincolnshire Regiment on the Way from Assouan to Halfa; 3. The Supply Dépôt at the Rail-Head; 4. The Anglo-Egyptian Camp at Guheish Rail-Head. From Sketches by Captain Sir Henry Rawlinson, Bart., Staff Officer to the Sirdar. The additional force of British troops, under command of General Gatacre, sent into the Soudan to aid Sir Herbert Kitchener and the Egyptian army on the Nile, has now moved forward, from Dekhish to Abu Dis, over the desert, and is in excellent condition. The river has been entirely cleared of hostile boats as far up the Nile as Metemmeh, and up the Atbara to Adarama. It appears from a recent official return that 134 British officers are now serving in the Khedive's army in the Soudan, not including those with the allied British regiments. We give some Illustrations of typical incidents of the present advance on the Nile'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
