I've been looking at the Egyptian Campaign of 1882 recently, mainly because I thought it would allow me to pit my Zulu War British against my Crimean War Turks. There were only a few engagements, but while I was noodling around on wikipedia, I came across the battle of Kafr el Dawwar. You can see some pictures here. link The engagement/battle involved some British mounted infantry, some line infantry, an armoured train and some Royal Marines. Normally, I wouldn't be that concerned about the RM as I have red coated British troops, but it appears (at least based on Featherstone) that they wore blue in Egypt. There is an alternative line of enquiry, which seems to suggest that they wore light grey kit as they did in the Sudan in 1884. It is a puzzlement. |

The Solo Wargamers Association's Lone Warrior Blog has just turned five years old – there's a posting to commemorate this from George Arnold (the master of webs) and Rich Barbuto (the master of Lone Warrior – the magazine). link |
