Battle of Atbara, 1898

Battle of Atbara, 1898 - Losses and Gains

For the wounded the desert was certain death. In a word, the finest dervish army was not. Retreat was impossible, pursuit superfluous; defeat was annihilation.

The horse-battery has 12-pounder Krupps, the rest 9-pounders. Each battery has a white commander; all the men are Egyptians, and their physical strength and teachableness make them almost ideal gunners.
