SIR FREDERICK MAURICE.
(ARNOLD. 10s 6d net.)
Sir Frederick Maurice, who died in the first month
of last year, enjoyed the highest reputation as a
military critic. of impregnable honour and acute
judgment. To many people, no doubt, he will be
best remembered as the editor of the Official His-
tory of the South African War; and this is natural
errough, for what a man does last is apt to be most
tion was no Sunset glory; be ranked high as a soldier
from his youth up. He was only 32 when Sir
Garnet Wolseley chose him as a member of his staff
in the Ashanti War, and the brilliant judgment
of the late Commander-in-Chief was never more
clearly Taanifested than it was in his choice of that
little company of long since distinguished officers.
Sir Evelyn Wood, Sir Baker Russell, Sir Redvers
Buller, Sir Henry Brackenbury, Sir George Colley,
Sir William Butler, and Sir Frederick Maurice—all
at that time young men, and some of them with
their whole careers before them—were , members
of the Ashanti siaff, and their names stand now
for those of the most distinguished military autho-
rities of the generation. Lord Wolseley always
knew a good man when he encountered him, and
he was the first to appreciate the strong character
and sound judgment of Frederick Maurice.
In the present volume Colonel Maurice, Son of Sir
Frederick, has collected some of the most valuable
of his father's essays, and has prefaced them with
a brief but sufficient biographical sketch. The
essays have been chosen, so far as was possible, for
their autobiographical or self-revealing character:
they all deal with subjects to which Maurice devoted
his energy and intellect. The “Discipline of Citizen
Soldiers,” the “Unwritten Laws and Idéals of the
British Army,” “National Health,” and the
“Theory of Discipline as it Emerges in Practice "
are among the subjects discussed, and a fine piece
of pictorial narrative is to be found in the story of
the Birkenhead, where discipline is to be £een in
It was characteristic of Maurice that he Lever allowed
himself to indulge in fine writing or exaggeration,
and, even in dealing with so romantic an incident as
the loss of the Birkenhead, he keeps firmly to the
critical estimate, and sweeps aside all the accretions
of sentimentality and imagination. But the sound
sense of responsibility which fills ail his work gives

it a charm more impressive than any literary deco-
ration or artifice, and all these essays recall the best
traditions of military history and the proper reticence
of the soldier spirit.
It was from his father, no doubt, that Sir Frederick
Maurice derived his
and his fearless loyalty to truth, for he was the
elder gom of Frederick Denison Maurice, the friend
of Tennyson, the champion of educational pro-
gress and of the commonsense estimate of theo-
logical dogma. The young Maurice was never sent
to a public school, and grew up under his father's
Core, imbibing from his tuition an intense hatred

be right. There is printed in the
present volume a very remarkable letter from F. D.
Maurice to his son, upon the choice of a military
career. It is worthy the consideration of every
young officer, for it shows, not only deep parental
consideration, but also much searching of heari, in
the effort to reconcile the ideals of a life of waz.
fare with those of a gospel of Christian peace. From
his father, too, Maurice derived his interest in
history, to which he devoted himself from his earlies;
days in the service, winning the Wellington Prize
E39ay, while still a subaltern, over the heads of
many of the best Senior officers of the day. I;
was this essay which introduced him to Wolseley,
and prompted that officer to take him with him
upon the Ashanti campaign, when he acted as Sir
Garnet's private secretary, and so gained invaluable
experience, which was afterwards to be turned to
good purpose. This is not the place to recapitu-
late the steps in Maurice's distinguished career, but
it is, interesting to note that, when he was first
&ppºached upon the subject of the editorship of the
Official History of the Boer War, he was anything
but 8.10:ious to accept the offer. “They propose to
consign me,” he said, “to penal servitude for life.
I am to Epend Iny time with a hornet's nest
º e
about my ears, trampling a bottomless bog in pursuiv
of an unapproachable bauble.” But second thoughts
showed him where his duty lay, and it was always
his custom to sacrifice his own convenience
to his sense of duty. That was Maurice all over,
and this modest record is in perfect harmony with
a reputation, Sound, manly, and impeccable, the
Worthy Teputatiºn of a typical English officer.

for speakers one was set apart entirely for addresses
to the children. One of the breaks bore the inscrip-
tion, “We follow in our fathers' footsteps,” an
intimation that the Socialist believes in hereditary
politics—for Socialists at ałl events. It was notice-
able, however, that a good many of the youngsters
seemed to enjoy romping on the grass more than
listening to the speeches. -
Of the adults a very large proportion were, as

From one platform Jewish Socialists alone were ad
dressed, and from another all the speeches were
| in foreign languages. Around those platforms the
throngs were the largesſ, with the exception perhaps
of that from which Mr. Ben Tillett spoke. Mir.
Tillett had a hearty reception when he rose, but it
j was not quite unmixed. One man hurled an offen-.
Five epithet at him, and he called to a policeman,
“Officer, got that man out.” “Give him a chance,”
replied the policeman, and the interrupter wasper-
suaded into silence by those around him. Then
another man called for “Three cheers for Lord
Devonport.” Unabashed by this reminder of a past.
indiscretion, Mr. Tillett remarked that if Lord
| Devonport had not been taken to heaven at least
| they had a fine day for their May Day domonstra-
tion. The papers, Mr. Tillett went on to say, would
refer to it as a picnic; but it was more than that, it

THE
T}{}} FIRST EARL OF
SALISBURY.
Aº-
—wº-
A LIFE or RoPERT CECIL., First Earl of
Salisbury. By ALGERNoN CECIL. (Murray.
12s. net.) . .
Three Cecils, in three distant ages born,
have materially helped to shape the destinies
of England : one was a baron, one an earl,
and one a marquess. Their position in the
peerage is no index to their respective
abilities, attractiveness to a biographer, or
services to the nation ; and the second
of the trio, who forms the subject of this
study, approaches nearest to the level of
mediocrity. That explains the lack of an
earlier biography; and we suspect that it
was this lack, rather than any more potent
attraction, which has drawn Mr. Algernon
Cecil's attention to the earl rather than to
the baron or the marquess. His interesting
essays on “Six Oxford Thinkers,” which
showed that he could write, do not indicate
that he was led to study Salisbury's career
by an overpowering interest in the period
in which he lived. We think he would
have felt happier with Burghley. The figure
of Burghley, he remarks indeed, “ has
rebelled obstinately against biographical
treatment.” But we agree that “it may
be the fault of the biographers”; and the
failure of the ponderous Nares, whose volumes
Macaulay weighed and measured with such
fatal effect, and of Martin Hume, whose
“Great Lord Burghley ’’ consisted mainly
of extracts from the Spanish Calendar
loosely strung together, need not have de-
terred Mr. Cecil, who errs in brevity and is
chary of quotation, from attempting to
portray the wisest of Elizabeth's advisers.
His choice, however, has fallen on
Burghley's son Robert, a smaller man who
climbed to greater dignities because the
prodigality of James I. exceeded Elizabeth's
as much in the distribution of titles as in the
squandering of money; the Monarch, who
re-created dukedoms after their extinction
in 1572, thought little of giving an earldom
to Salisbury for services slight compared
Burghley with a barony. Robert did not
with those for which Elizabeth rewarded
succeed to the barony ; for, like the younger
Pitt, he was one of those second sons in
English history who illustrate both the virtue
of hereditary principle and the folly of
confining it to primogeniture ; and the
second Baron Burghley was as undistinguished
as the second Earl of Chatham. Probably
he thought it better to be a great lord than
a Secretary of State, and felt no jealousy
of the second son whom Burghley trained
to follow in his steps of service to
the Crown. Robert's succession to office

men by hundreds than the eneri y . . .
have, in short, done what I deem it impossible
for a lºussian army to do—annihilated the ſinest
little British army that ever faced an enemy. .* *
The soldier never lovos Governments;"
but unhappily there was much truth in-
Stephenson's strictures. It seems strange
that there is no mention in his letters of
Florence Nightingale, nor of any of that
beneficent private enterprise which is the
English substitute for national action. Mrs.
Pownall, Stephenson's niece and the editor
of the volume, suggests that he “may
possibly at the time have shared in a certain
military prejudice against “women in time
of war.’” Later in life, he wrote of Miss
Nightingale and her work with enthusiasm.
Stephenson's next appointment on active
service was in China from 1857 to 1860.
Nothing of all that was tedious and all that
was ridiculous in those years of waitin
and fighting escapes his quick eye and shrewd
understanding, His interests were not limited
to his profession. More, perhaps, than most
soldiers, he liked to acquire knowledge of the
country and the people about him ; and to
the exercise of d;
owed, no doubt, Lord ' Ritchener's statement
is intelligent curiosity he
(we venture to correct two apparent mis-
prints in Mrs. Pownall's version) that
The man who knew most about the Sudan, its
chiefs and tribes, and who had the clearest and best
views as to the way of dealing with them, was
General Stephenson. - *
He was appointed to the chief command in
Egypt in May, 1883, with troubled times
behind him and more troubled times ahead.
In a short preface to these Egyptian letters
Lord Grenfell bears witness to the fine
work he did during the terrible epidemic
of cholera in the summer of that year;
and later he had opportunity of show.
ing not only his efficiency as a soldier, but the
profounder qualities of a dutiful and generous
nature. No one in Egypt in those years had
much cause to reverence Mr. Gladstone's
Government, and Stephenson least of all.
Yet he gave up his ambition, his pride, and
even—hardest gift of all—his desire to be
most useful, to his country. When at last, in
May, 1884, the Government determined to
send an expedition to the rescue of Gordon,
Stephenson was, of course, asked to pre:
pare it. This he did with his usual
quiet thoroughness. But he favoured
the route by Suakin and Berber ; , the
Government decided on the Nile route ; and
Lord Hartington telegraphed to him that the
Government were of opinion that it would be
unfair to throw upon him the responsibility
of carrying out a scheme which did not meet
with his approval. It was an unfortunate
way of putting it, and Stephenson was justi-
fied in regarding it as an insult (“an un-
worthy suggestion” is his phrase), that
they mistrusted my sense cf duty in carrying out
to the best of my abilities any instructions of
theirs, simply because I did not approve of them.
Yet, after such treatment as this, General
Stephenson consented, at tho Government's
request, to remain at his post while Wolsele
led the expedition, and this he did, with
effects upon the Egyptian history of that
time which are not perhaps so clearly realized
as they should be. In such things as these
we see the English soldier at his best. . . . .

to the barony ; and no one believes that he
would have climbed so high, had he not
started from his father's shoulders. Burghley
kept the office of Secretary vacant for six
years after Walsingham's death, doing much
of the work, Lord Treasurer though he was,
until Robert could decently be inducted; and
“Secretary '' indicates well enough Robert's
capacities and their limitations.
Gardiner, in a characterization which Mr.
Cecil naturally finds a little difficult to digest,
declares that Robert never harboured one
original thought. Its truth is hårdly to be
denied, and Mr. Cecil does Burghley less than
justice when he couples the father with the
son and seeks to parry the critical thrust by
covering both with the defence of a common
conservatism. He is thinking of Burghley's
declining years ; in 1559 and 1560 he was
Pold and original enough in his conduct of the
Parliamentary measures for the Elizabethan
settlement of religion, and of the militar
measures for the expulsion of the Frene
from Scotland, and later on in 1569, when he
destroyed the feudal faction in the Council
and opened the way for the “new * men
who made Elizabethan England. In those
days he seemed to foreign critics a reckless
innovator, who was rushing to destruction
with his Queen and country. He grew more
conservative with the advance of years, and
withstood the fiery counsels of Leicester,
Walsingham, Essex, and Raleigh. His son
inherited his conservatism without his
earlier originality, and the achievement
upon which his reputation rests was the
eaceful transference of the Crown from
lizabeth to James I. He made peace,
it is true, with Spain in 1604, but lived
to view it with dissatisfaction ; and he
drafted the Great Contract, which would have
been a success, had it not failed to satisfy.
Parliament. His policy of marrying the
Princess Elizabeth with the Elector Palatine
was popular, and eventually led to the
Hanoverian Succession, to which result Mr.
Cecil, somewhat curiously, does not allude :
but the best thing that can be said about his
administration is that things went very
much worse after his death in 1612. This is
faint praise for a statesman, but we can
hardly agree with Mr. Cecil when he puts
Salisbury with William III. and Walpole in
the second class, except on the understanding
that William and Walpole only just miss, the
first, and Salisbury the third.
Mr. Cecil has in fact undertaken one of the
most difficult of tasks, the biography of an
official ; and he is confronted with the insistent
dilemma between an official biographical
record and a history of the time. At what
point does official action cease to pertain to
the official’s biography : Mr. Cecil has perhaps
had in mind Macaulay’s trouncing of Nares's
tedious volumes, and was determined that
his Life of Salisbury should not be the earl’s
“Life and Times '' or “Life and Letters.”
He is content with less than 400 moderate
ages. This moderation is not to be despised
days when half a biography sometimes
runs to four volumes; but is it possible to
describe the life of one who, as Mr. Cecil says,
Was practically a Prime Minister for fourteen
years within this compass : Many matters
with which Salisbury had to do are perforce.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE.
IN the course of the following narrative frequent references
will be found to the opinions and views of Arabi Pasha and of the
chief leaders of the Egyptian forces employed against us. For
these I am indebted to the most skilful and careful cross-
questioning of the Egyptian State prisoners in Ceylon by Colonel
Duncan, at present Deputy Quartermaster-General in Dublin. It
Seemed advisable to compare the views of what took place,
presented by the official documents, and by the numerous letters
from officers of all branches of the force engaged, with which I
have been favoured, with such statements as could be obtained
from the other side. By the kind permission of the Governor of
Ceylon, and with the assistance of Sir John McLeod, then the
Commander-in-Chief in the island, this was done in such a way as
to assure the prisoners that the sole motive for the inquiries was
to ascertain the truth. I think it will be found that considerable
light is thrown upon some parts of the History by the evidence so
Supplied.

MEMORIAL TO LORD

DUIKE • OF CONN AUGHT’S
TRIBUTE.
The Duke of Connaught yesterday morning
unveiled the memorial to the late Field-Marshal
Lord Wolseley which has been erected on the
form of a statue, cast in bronze, of the field-
marshal on his charger, and stands on a pedestal
of Portland stone with a granite base. It has
been placed near the central archways of the
Parade, on the Admiralty side. Later a similar
memorial to Lord Roberts will, we understand,
be erected on the other side of the archways.
The Duke was received by Field-Marshal Lord
Grenfell, the chairman, and other members of the
Memorial Committee. The Royal Horse Guards pro-
vided a Guard of Honour, and a detachment of the
Royal Irish Régiment was also on the ground.
Within the enclosure a representative company had
gathered to see the ceremony, and the crowd outside
was quite a large one. The simple ceremony was soon
over. Standing before the veiled statue, the Duke
narrated the distinguished career of Lord Wolseley
and offered a warm eulogy of the services which the
late field-marshal gave to the State. At the close
of the speech he pulled a cord, and the Union Jacks
which draped the memorial fluttered down. The
ceremony ended with a fanfare by the trumpeters
of the Royal Horse Guards. -

LORD WOLSELEY’s CAREER.
In his speech the DUKE) of CoNNAUGHT congratu-
lated Lord Grenfell and his committee on the success
which had attended their work in commemorating
in so tangible a form the memory of a distinguished
soldier and so faithful a servant of the State. He re-
viewed Lord Wolseley’s long and varied service in the
Army, dating from March, 1852, to his death in
March, 1913, and, including notable campaigns in
India, South Africa, and Egypt, and in a concluding
tribute, said : —
“Lord Wolseley was a fine and capable soldier,
who had learned great experience during his gallant
and varied services, during which period he held all
the highest positions in the Army, to which he was
deeply attached. He was devoted to the higher edu-
cation of the officers, and did a great deal for the
efficiency of the Staff, and was the creator of the
Army Reserve. Lord Walseley always set a fine
example of duty, and was much respected and liked
by all who knew him. Personally, I had a very great
regard for this distinguished soldier. We first served
together in Canada, in 1869 and 1870, and subse-
quently I had the honour of commanding a brigade
under him in the Egyptian Expedition of 1882. I
think the younger officers of the Army are apt to
forget how much we owe to his foresight.”
The statue was designed by Sir William Goscombe
John, R.A., and is cast from the metal of guns cap-
tured during Lord Wolseley’s various campaigns.
Among those who were present in the enclosure
were Field-Marshal Lord Haig, Field-Marshal Sir
Henry Wilson, Sir Alfred Mond, Lieutenant-General
Sir R. Baden-Powell, Lieutenant-General Sir A. F.
Codrington, Genéral Sir O'Moore Creagh, Field-
Marshal Lord Methuen, Sir Reginald Brade, Lieu-

IN THE ESTATE OF CHARLES WILLIAM NEW

WARWICK, SEXTON INTERVENING.
(Before the RIGHT HON. SIR HENRY DUKE, President
and a Special Jury.)
The President began the hearing of a probate action
which arose out of the testamentary dispositions of
Mr. Charles william New, late of Richmond-road,
Bayswater, who died on March 11, 1919. The plain-
tiffs, Messrs. Barclay's Bank, Limited, propounded as
executors a will dated June 7, 1918. -
The defendant, Mrs. Florence Adelaide Warwick,
who was a granddaughter of the testator, alleged that
that will was not duly executed, that the testato
did not know and approve of its contents, and that
its execution had been procured by the undue influenc
of Mrs. Clara Jane Sexton, the testator's housekeeper
She claimed probate of an earlier will, dated October 18
1917. - -
Mrs. Sexton had obtained leave to intervene in th
suit, and by their reply she and the plaintiffs denie
the allegations in the defence, and pleaded that th
will of October 18, 1917, had been revoked. -
Sir Ellis Hume-Williams, K.C., and Mr. Graze
brook were for the plaintiffs ; Sir Edward Marshal.
Hall, K.C., and Mr. Clifford Mortimer for the de
fendant : and Mr. G. W. H. Jones for the intervener
Mrs. Sexton. -
THE PLAINTIFF's CASE.
SIR ELLIs HUME-WILLIAMs said that the testato
was an oki man. He had been a photographer, a bit
of a conjurer, and a ventriloquist, and he had amasser
a considerable fortune for a man of his class—£7,000 o'
£8,000. On April 1, 1897, he married and there was
daughter born to him. In 1906 his wife died and th
daughter, who had married a Mr. Hill, had predeceased
was now Mrs. Florence Adelaide Warwick, a grand
daughter, therefore, of the testator. As soon as his
daughter died the testator adopted his grandchild, and
she lived with him until 1918, first, at Hove. Ther
they made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Sexton.
Mr. Sexton was a distant, relation. Mr. New used to
stay for long periods with Mr. and Mrs. Sexton, an
he was very attracted by Mrs. Sexton, and ultimately
she left her husband and went to live with Mr. New
who took a house for her at Hove. She lived with hin
until his death on March 11, 1919. There was no
doubt that as the years went by he relied on he
more and more, She had given up her home and he
husband for him and he concentrated his affection:
water. He (counsel) did not know what becam
of Mr. Sexton, but Mrs. Sexton lived with
Mr. New as his housekeeper, and she was in fact, his
mistress. Therefore, when it came to making a will
the testator might well consider her claims. His
granddaughter lived with them, and when she became
of sufficient age she went to a photographer as a
“ reception lady,” and every one was happy. On
March 4, 1918, she went to her work as usual. She
returned at midday for luncheon, and she produced a
marriage certificate and told her grandfather that
she had married Mr. Warwick, her employer. On
August 5 of that year she gave birth to a child. Mr.
New was very angry. The girl had been to him a
daughter, and he was deeply hurt and he felt that
she had broken the news of her marriage in an incon-
siderate way to him. . He was then 75 years of age.

MILITARY HISTORY
OF
THE CAMPAIGN OF T882
IN
EGYPT.
CHAPTER I.
EVENTS IN EGYPT PRIOR TO THE CAMPAIGN.—PRELIMINARY ARRANGE-
MENTS IN ENGLAND.—MEMORANDUM OF THE 3RD JULY ON THE
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.—MOTIVES DETERMINING THE CHOICE OF THE
LINE OF ADVANCE ON CAIRO IN THE EVENT OF HOSTILITIES.
By the middle of May, 1882, a series of military demonstrations.
had placed Arabi, a Colonel of the Egyptian army, in virtual
possession of the executive power in Egypt. Thewfik, who had, on
the deposition of Ismail in June, 1879, been appointed by the
Sultan, at the instance of the European Powers, Khedive of Egypt,
retained little more than the title. The armed power was in the
bands of Arabi, and it had become evident that, whatever Ministers
were appointed, they would be virtually puppets in Arabi's hands.
Ninety thousand Europeans, of whom the majority were English
and French subjects, were engaged in business in Egypt. The
English and French Governments had, on the 6th January, 1882,
given to the Khedive an assurance of their support in an “identic
declaration,” since known as the “dual note,” in which they
declared to him “that the English and French Governments con-
sider the maintenance of His Highness on the throne, on the
terms laid down by the Sultan's Firmans and officially recognized
by the two Governments, as alone able to guarantee for the present
and the future good order and general prosperity in Egypt, in
which England and France are equally interested . . . . . . ; they
are convinced that His Highness will draw from this assurance the
confidence and strength which he requires to direct the destinies of
Egypt and its people.”
On the 20th May, 1882, the allied English and French fleet

entered Alexandria Harbour to watch over the threatened interests,
and to offer an earnest of the promised support.
On the 7th June, 1882, Dervish Pasha, with full powers from
the Porte, arrived in Alexandria to restore order in Egypt. For a
few days it remained uncertain what the result of Dervish Pasha's
action might be, but on the 11th June, whilst he, the Khedive, and
Arabi were in Cairo, riots of a serious character broke out in
Alexandria between the Mahometan and Christian population.
The effect was immediately to awaken throughout the country a
religious excitement which had long been Smouldering among the
Mahometans, and in the course of the next few weeks it is calcu-
lated that fully two-thirds of the European population had fled the
country, the whole course of business was thrown out of gear, and
large numbers of Arab employés were clamouring for bread.
On the 23rd June a Conference of six of the European Powers
assembled for the first time at Constantinople to deal with the
affairs of Egypt. Turkey refused to send a Representative.
On the 24th June the English and French Controllers, who till
then had held decisive authority as Representatives of the protecting
Powers, received a notice that they would no longer be allowed to sit
in Council with the Egyptian Ministry; Arabi announced his inten-
tion of resisting by arms any attempt to restore order by landing
troops; earthworks were begun by the Egyptians between Ramleh
and Abukir. º
At about the same time it was announced that the Sultan
had conferred upon Arabi the First Class of the Order of the
Medjidie.
Great alarm as to the safety of the Suez Canal began to prevail
in consequence of the general disorder and religious excitement.
Bedouins were reported as frequently appealing in threatening
groups along the banks. -
Various indications showed that, even if Arabi could be trusted
to do his utmost to preserve order, his power to do so depended
upon the temper of the Egyptian soldiery, which was daily more
and more passing beyond control. .* re
It soon became clear that no mere occupation of the Suez
Canal alone could be more than a temporary expedient. The
danger lay in the disorder existing in Egypt. That disorder could
only be dealt with at its head-quarters in Cairo. This conclusion,
which on general grounds was hardly open to dispute, was
enforced by the consideration that the whole supply of fresh
water, both of Alexandria and of the stations on the Suez Canal,
was under the control of those who held Cairo and the interior of
the country.
The Suez Canal Company had found it indispensable to con-
struct, at great cost, the “Ismailia Canal,” which, drawn off from
the Nile at Cairo, branched at Nefisha, sending one arm to Suez
and one to Ismailia, whence the water for Port Said was conveyed
in pipes. Thus the only security for the continued maintenance.
of the salt-water canal depended on the friendliness of the holders
of Cairo.
3
Nor was this all; for, as a military problem, it is scarcely
possible to exaggerate the contrast between the rapidity and cer-
fainty with which it was possible to deal with the question at
Cairo, and the danger, the loss, the difficulty, and the expense of a
long occupation of the Canal. . A force detailed to hold the Canal
would be exposed throughout the entire length of that highway of
commerce to the attacks of an enemy holding the Delta. The
railway running direct from Zagazig to Ismailia and Es-Salihiyeh,
nearly at right angles to the course of the Canal, would offer to
such an enemy the greatest possible facilities for moving and
supplying his troops. The whole of the Egyptian army could thus
be, at any moment chosen by its Commander, directed against a
fraction of the force defending the Canal. The weariness, and con-
sequent loss of health, spirits, and efficiency, entailed by such an
occupation, when protracted, would become a serious element
of weakness for the protecting troops. -
The danger of attack from the Bedouin tribes on the eastel Il
side would continually increase as they became better and bettº r
aware of the fact that we had not ventured to disturb the hostile
power of Arabi in Egypt, and that he was seriously threatening
our position. Our troops holding the narrow strip of the shores of
the Canal, receiving all their supplies along that very line, would
thus find the desert along which all the water-traffic must pass
occupied by hostile tribes; and the successful attack upon any
isolated post or ship would enable the Egyptians to block the
whole course of the Canal, and to destroy the means of commu-
nication and Supply throughout.
The very occupation of the Canal itself would give such warning
of our intentions to use force in Egypt, that if, instead of being the
immediate prelude to a march upon Cairo, it were simply an act
of passive tenure, the result would be that we should be deprived
of the opportunity of converting it into anything else; for the
Egyptians, so warned, would be able, whilst utilizing the railways
and Fresh-water Canal for the purpose of striking at our hold on
the Maritime Canal, to prepare the means of rapidly destroying
them, if we should subsequently, in consequence of the failure
of our effort to gain our ends by the mere occupation of the
latter, attempt to dictate terms at Cairo. Nothing would then be
easier for Arabi than to provide means for emptying the Fresh-water
Canal at his leisure, and for destroying the railways, whilst yet he
used them as long as we held to the Maritime Canal. Hence, not
only was it necessary from a military point of view to prepare for
a march upon Cairo, but it was necessary that that march should
follow rapidly upon the first seizure of the Canal, and that no
attempt merely to hold the Canal should, as a half-measure, be
adopted in the first instance.
It is necessary very clearly to distinguish between the aspect
which this question presented as a purely military problem, and
the determination on the matter which Her Majesty's Government,
taking the whole political situation into account, were able as yet
to arrive at. -
B 2
4:
Not for a long time yet, as will be seen in the sequel (vide
infra, p. 19), was any decision for the dispatch of an expedition
arrived at, but it became the duty of the military authorities, from
this time forward, to place clearly before Her Majesty's Govern-
ment the nature of the military problem involved, and by
the end of June it had become obvious that, under certain
circumstances, an expedition might become necessary to restore
order in Egypt. The possibility of such an event had been
for many months taken into account by the War Office as a
military problem. Various papers with a view to it had been
prepared, under the directions of the Adjutant-General. But
events had not arrived at a stage for definite preparation, even on
paper, until the 28th June, when what may be considered the first
official step was taken. *
A Return called for by the Adjutant-General was furnished by
the Commissary-General, showing the number of horses, mules,
carts, &c., which were on the transport establishment at Gibraltar,
Malta, and Cyprus, the strength of the different companies
at home, and the amount of transport that would be required for
the first line of a corps of about 24,000 men, should such a force be
dispatched from England.
On the 29th June the Secretary of State for War, in consulta-
tion with His Royal Highness the Commander-in-chief, decided to
take other preliminary steps, such as determining what would be
necessary in case an expedition should start, collecting detailed
information, making arrangements and organization on paper, &c.,
So far as this could be done without attracting attention and without
exceptional expenditure.
A Committee formed of the various Heads of Departments held
its first consultation on Egyptian affairs on the 30th June. On that
day the future Commander-in-chief of the expedition laid before
the Committee the broad outlines of the plan of campaign.
The scheme then verbally explained is embodied in an official
Memorandum addressed by the Adjutant-General to the Surveyor-
General of the Ordnance, dated the 3rd July, 1882.
As the whole subsequent working out of the campaign turns upon
the points mentioned in this Memorandum, the following extracts
from it will be found to be of interest, especially the two last
sentences, which are here given in italics. In the latter part of
the paper detailed arrangements were made for providing at once
seven battalions, then in the Mediterranean stations, with the
Inecessary transport.
Eaºtracts from Memorandum by Sir G. Wolseley.
“With a view to rendering mobile the two divisions of
infantry and the brigade of cavalry which it is contemplated we
may have to send to Ismailia, it is essential that each regiment of
cavalry, battalion of infantry, battery of artillery, and company of
engineers should embark complete with their regimental trans-
port.

“Egypt is a country where, in ordinary times, a very large
amount of camels and pack animals can be obtained ; but if we
have to undertake military operations there, we cannot expect to
obtain any in the country until we have defeated the Egyptian
army in the field.
“I think I may assume that our operations in the first instance
would consist of an advance from Ismailia upon Cairo. A
railway passing through Zagazig connects those two places. We
may or may not be able to seize some useful amount of rolling-
stock on that railway, but we should at least make arrangements
to be independent, by taking with us 5 locomotives, with large
separate tenders, 5 brake-vans, 100 open goods wagons, with
tarpaulin covers, and 5 breakdown wagons, with ample supply of
tools for repairs; also at least 10 miles of steel rails, with bowl
sleepers, bolts, nuts, fish-plates, keys, points, and crossings in
proportion.
“A personnel to work this limited amount of rolling-stock can
be supplied by the Royal Engineers, and should accompany the
matériel, together with a sufficient number of engine-fitters to
put the engines together when landed. I can furnish the detail
this personnel.
“We can thus count upon the aid of four trains working on the
railroad (it is a single line as far as Zagazig, from thence to Cairo
it is double), which will carry provisions, tents, firewood, and
reserves of ammunition, and will enable us to send our sick daily
to the hospital ships at Ismailia.
“This will enable us to cut down our transport very much,
especially as it may be eaſpected that the Egyptian army would make
7ts stand somewhere in the neighbourhood of Tel el-Kebir.
“If the action comes off there no serious fighting may be
anticipated until Cairo is reached; indeed, although it is possible
that Some attempt might be made to hold that city, if the Egyptian
army is well defeated in the field, any further resistance would he
insignificant.
- “(Signed) G. J. WOLSELEY,
“July 3, 1882.”
On the same day (3rd July) proposals were put forward for the
purchase of 1,000 mules in America, to be brought to England at
Once ; for the purchase at Malta of ninety pack-mules, and the
dispatch to Gibraltar, Malta, and Cyprus of the necessary pack-
Saddles; for the distribution to battalions going from home of
such proportion of pack-Saddles, water-carts, two-wheeled carts,
horses, &c., as could be supplied by the Army Service Corps or Royal
Artillery; for the immediate examination, repair, and distribution
of carts, &c. Many of these arrangements were necessarily post-
poned on grounds of international political expediency; but on the
following day (4th July) secret instructions were issued to the
officers commanding the regiments of cavalry, battalions of infantry,
and batteries of artillery included in the force to be sent out,
directing them to be prepared to move at the shortest notice,
6
giving them the numbers with which they were to embark, and
stating from what sources those numbers were to be made up.
Instructions were also given that from this time the battalions
should be solely employed on work adapted to prepare them for
the possible campaign. A considerable force had been detailed
for peace manoeuvres. This made it possible to order the cavalry
regiments to organize “for the manoeuvres" the regimental trans--
port that would be necessary for the campaign.
Already (3rd July) the details necessary for a campaign across-
the desert had been settled. It had been determined what.
baggage should be left at Ismailia, to be sent forward afterwards
by rail, what was to be carried with the troops. The intention.
then was that the men should carry seventy rounds of ammunition:
in their pouches, and thirty rounds per man as a first reserve on-
mules. Forty-three small-arm ammunition-carts were to be
provided to carry the second reserve of the force, and 1,000 boxes
were to follow on a special train (seven trucks). The men were
to carry one day's rations. Their great coats, two days' rations,
and, if possible, 2 lbs. of fuel per man, were to move with the
regiments in carts; five days' rations, including fuel, were to follow
by train. t
All further details were now worked out day by day. The
number of these was necessarily very great in the case of a special
expedition which involved, in the first place, the sudden seizure of
a hostile shore, to be reached through a narrow channel, then the
almost as sudden seizure of a line of railway and canal which could
be reached only by a march across a desert, and at all times
provision for the exceptional conditions of nearly tropical and
desert life.
On the 7th July it was decided that the autumn manoeuvres
should be abandoned, but for some time the decision was kept
Secret.
The following statement will give some idea of the questions that
had at this time to be settled. Arrangements were made to provide :
tents, wood as fuel for 20,000 men for sixty days from Cyprus, and
to be ready to purchase mules. The formation of a railway-con-
struction company of engineers, the organization of a corps of
military police, regulations as to newspaper correspondents, were
determined on. The establishment of hospitals at Gozo (Malta)
and Cyprus, water supply, revolvers, carts, the extension of service
of men then serving with regiments from six years to seven years,
had to be considered. Every measure which would reduce the
number of horses to be taken with the force had to be resolutely
enforced. The formation of a Postal Corps was determined on and
a scheme for it devised. It was decided to arrange with the
Indian Government as to the dispatch of troops from thence. All
these points had been settled, and the details departmentally
worked out, by the 10th July.
It had further been decided, when the plan of campaign was
first discussed, that an advanced force should be sent forward from
the Mediterranean garrisons; that it should rendezvous in Cyprus,
7
and be ready to seize the Suez Canal twenty-four hours after
receiving orders for action.
On the 6th July, in consequence of an application to that effect
made by the Adjutant-General on the 2nd July, Sir Archibald Alison
had left England to take command of this force, and travelling vià
Brindisi, he reached Cyprus in Her Majesty's ship “Salamis" on
the 14th July. The 1st Battalion South Stafford, the 3rd Battalion
Ring's Royal Rifles, and the 17th Company Royal Engineers,
arrived at Cyprus about the same time, having left Malta on the
8th July.
It has seemed advisable to report these particulars without
comment, because it will be seen from them that the line of
advance upon Cairo which was ultimately adopted had been
decided on early in July as that which was to be followed if an
expedition were sent; that all arrangements for the campaign were
fixed by the determination to make the advance across the desert
between Ismailia and Zagazig; and that an advance from Alex-
andria upon Cairo had never been proposed.
The choice of the line of operations was determined by the
following considerations:–
In the first place, it was more convenient, as a joint expedition
was to start from Europe and from India, that the Indian forces
should occupy Suez, and those from the Mediterranean Port Said;
Ismailia, lying midway on the Canal, was in point of mere position,
therefore, the matural point of junction of the whole army.
In the second place, the distance from Ismailia to Cairo was
only 75 miles, while that from Alexandria was 120 miles. These
advantages were independent of the time of year, and were so
obvious that in the beginning of 1882 Major Tulloch had been
dispatched to report upon the line of advance from Ismailia upon
Cairo, and had brought back much detailed information.
But there were other considerations which, weighty at all
seasons, were for the months of August, September, and October
so decisive as to leave little choice as to the route to be adopted.
Since the period of Napoleon's campaigns in Egypt the country
has undergone great changes. The Nile has been much more com-
pletely brought under control, and the whole of the Delta is now
irrigated by a vast system of artificial canals. There are no roads
whatever for wheeled vehicles, all the transport of the country
being conducted either by railway, by boat along the canals, or on
pack animals.
During August, September, and October, the period of “high
Nile,” the whole Delta is laid under water by means of the irri-
gating, works. The advance of an army, must necessarily be
exceedingly slow over such a country; artillery can hardly travel
over it at all, and cavalry cannot manoeuvre in it.
It has very frequently been assumed, in references to “the
desert,” that desert ground is all of one character, and that to move
over it implies always that men can only march “ankle deep in
Sand.”. In fact, there are two kinds of desert, the “hard desert,” a
firm Smooth gravel, and the “soft desert,” a loose heavy sand,

Now the desert which lies between Ismailia and Cairo is throughout
almost its entire length “hard.” There are in the course of it
sandy mounds and Sandy patches which have to be crossed; these
are very trying both to man and beast, but speaking generally this
desert presents a very fair marching-ground both for infantry and
cavalry, and though wheeled transport and artillery have in many
places much difficulty, because of the necessity of passing over the
Sandy patches, yet movement for artillery is at least possible
everywhere to an extent which does not exist in the irrigated
country at all, and, throughout much of the desert, artillery
manoeuvres are more easy than they are on average ground in Europe.
Under these circumstances, not only was a march across a short
desert to be preferred to an attempt to pass an army along the
slippery and narrow banks of the Small irrigating canals, but it
was most desirable, if possible, to induce the enemy to fight a
decisive action in the desert, where the full power of a better
organized army could be employed against him. -*
It was known that, in all the schemes for the defence of the
Delta, it had been taken as a point of honour that, oll the ISImailia
side, the works of defence should be so constructed as to keep the
assailant away from the cultivated ground, and it was certain that
this feeling would operate more, not less, strongly in the case of a
man like Arabi Pasha, who was anxious in every way to conciliate
the fellaheen and to appear as their champion. There was every
reason, therefore, to expect that Arabi, if assailed from Ismailia,
would choose his fighting-ground somewhere in the neighbourhood
of the barracks that were known to have been constructed at Tel
el-Kebir, a station of which he had himself been formerly Com-
mandant, and where, according to the schemes of defence, entrench-
ments had long been planned to cover the approach to the Several
railway and canal junctions in the neighbourhood of Zagazig.
Further, from the first, the seizure of Cairo was the object of the
campaign. It was of the last importance that wherever a blow
was struck it should not only be a decisive one, but that the
cavalry, the arm whose duty it is to reap the fruits of victory,
should be able, if possible, to appear at the gates of Cairo whilst
its inhabitants were still stupefied by the failure in his first battle
of the military leader of revolt. So only was there a reasonable
prospect of Saving from destruction the “Pearl of the East,” and
the historical treasures of Bulak; so only could the first great
blow be made to end the war. w. *
Now there is on only one side of Cairo, as an inspection of th
Map will show better than a long discussion, any approach which
will permit a rapid cavalry advance from ground which would
admit of the fighting of a decisive action. By skirting the hard
desert along the line of the Ismailia Canal, such an advance may
be made into the very heart of the city. In any other direction
works of irrigation and the absence of roads prohibit rapid move-
ment, and, in general, the advancing troops would find themselves
on the wrong side of the river on their arrival in the neighbour-
hood of Cairo.
9
Included, therefore, in the earliest plans of the campaign which
were decided on by Sir Garnet Wolseley, and approved by the
Government, from the time that he was appointed to conduct the
operations, was a cavalry advance upon Cairo along the desert.
The advantages of a canal flowing beside the whole course of
the proposed march, both for the purposes of transport and of
water, need not be enlarged upon. The facilities afforded by the
railway are discussed in the Minute of the 3rd July (p. 5).
It is only necessary to add that as, in England, we have not
hitherto maintained during peace-time any transport adequate to
supply even a Small army, it is only in a case where we are able
to seize, within the assailed country, internal communications
which reduce to a minimum the additional transport needed in the
field, that a rapid blow can be struck shortly after a cause of
hostilities has arisen.
Of the other possible routes, that by the Western Desert was
forbidden by the fact that the sand is nearly throughout “soft ;”
while a river expedition by one of the arms of the Nile, which, in
many respects, promised advantages, was threatened with diffi-
culties by the bars at each of the mouths. An advance from
Ismailia would directly cover and protect the Suez Canal, which
would have been completely exposed during an advance upon
Cairo from Alexandria. Lake Timsa would furnish an admirable
|basin for the gathering of the transports.
For all these reasons, therefore, there could be no doubt that
the route by Ismailia must be selected.
It was necessary that the decision should be promptly made,
and should, unless a change were absolutely forced by circum-
stances, be subsequently adhered to ; for the nature of the prepa-
rations required depended on the route selected. It was almost
equally necessary that the decision should be kept secret ; for at
the time everything that was known in London was regularly
telegraphed, by way of Constantinople, to Cairo, since the Syrian
lines remained open. As far as possible, therefore, Alexandria
was always referred to in London as the future base of operations,
though, from the first, all arrangements as to landing-stages, trans-
port, commissariat, &c., were made on the understanding that
Ismailia was to be the place of landing,

CHAPTER II.
THE BOMBARDMENT AND OCCUPATION OF ALEXANDRIA. — THE
WORK OF CAPTAIN FISHER AND OF SIR. A. ALISON UP TO
THE 31ST JULY IN PROTECTING THE TOWN AND SECURING
ORDER.
Whilst these plans and arrangements were being made in
London, events had been rapidly moving forward at Alexandria.
The Egyptians, under Arabi's orders, ignoring alike the Khedive
and Dervish Pasha, continually worked at the fortifications, mount-
ing guns, strengthening the parapets, and endeavouring at night to
drop stones in such a manner as to block up the entrance of the
outer harbour. The naval authorities reported that the safety
of the fleet was seriously threatened by these proceedings. It
was impossible not to compare the situation with that which
had occurred at the Dardanelles in 1807, when the Turks,
whilst professedly carrying on for weeks peaceful negotiations
with Admiral Duckworth, and promising always to yield to his
demands, employed the time in so strengthening the outer
defences that the fleet had great difficulty in forcing its way out
again, and did not escape without heavy loss. In the present
instance the Egyptians accurately repeated the Turkish tactics, and
whilst always promising compliance with Sir Beauchamp Sey-
mour's demands, invariably took advantage of night to carry on the
work again. There is a quaint Report, which afterwards fell into
our hands, from one of the Egyptian officers in charge of a battery,
addressed to one of the superior officers of the army; in it the
officer complains of the very imploper conduct of the English fleet
in that, whilst his men were at work in the battery at night, Sud-
denly a blaze of electric light was thrown upon them so that what
they were doing could be seen as if it were day—a proceeding
which, as the Officer avers, was distinctly discourteous on the part
of the English.
By electric light and other means it was ascertained that the
promises of the Egyptians to stop work upon the batteries were
merely deceptive, and that the fortifications were being daily made
stronger.
At length it became evident that there could be no security
against these doings unless a portion of the fortifications were
handed over to our men. It was necessary however, great as the
risk might be, to give time, if possible, for the escape of Europeans.
On the 10th July Sir B. Seymour, after having ascertained that
the last of the probable fugitives had embarked, addressed a final
demand announcing that he should begin a bombardment within
twenty-four hours if certain forts were not given up to him within
twelve hours. -
At 7 A.M. on the 11th July the bombardment began, and continued
all day, the forts being silenced by night time. On the 13th July
El-Meks and the adjacent forts were found to be evacuated. The
II.
city had been set on fire, and the greater part of the European
quarter destroyed. The city was in the hands of pillagers. It
became necessary to organize police protection.
It will be seen that these events, though they materially
affected the subsequent military operations, in 110 way determined
the arrangements for the campaign, which had been settled in
principle before a shot had been fired by our ships at Alexandria.
The bombardment was precisely what it was asserted to be at the
time—a measure for the protection of the fleet from threatened
and imminent danger. All the discussions which have been raised
on the assumption that the bombardment was a deliberate begin-
ning of the campaign are beside the mark, simply because that was
not the case. The naval authorities reported that the risk to the
fleet was too serious to admit of any delay or of any other action.
In so far as the military operations were concerned, it would have
been much more convenient not to occupy Alexandria at all. Its
occupation was forced upon us by the disorder existing in the
town. When the numbers for the campaign were originally fixed,
the intention was that the whole corps, with both divisions com-
plete, should move by Ismailia; it was by no means intended, as
happened in the sequel, that a fine brigade should be left eating
their hearts out in Alexandria whilst the campaign was being .
carried through the Eastern Desert.
The whole series of events which had led up to the bombard-
ment had taken place between the 6th July, when Sir A. Alison
left England, and the 14th instant, when he arrived at Cyprus. No
information, therefore, of the details or circumstances of those
events had reached him. It appeared as if the decisive moment
had arrived when, hostilities having begun, the advanced force
Ought to seize the Canal. Telegraphic communication was at the
moment interrupted, and therefore, fearing to miss the very purpose
for which he was sent out, Sir A. Alison moved with his troops to
Port Said to be ready for eventualities.
At Port Said further information of the facts was received;
the need of troops at Alexandria was evident; Sir A. Alison at
Once sailed thither, and arrived on the 17th July.
The situation at Alexandria was in many ways peculiar. The
sole necessity which forced an occupation was actually and literally
what it at the time was declared to be—one of police. It was
impossible, after what had taken place, that we could allow the
town to be given up to incendiaries and pillagers. Under every
other aspect the occupation was, for our purposes at the time, an
unmixed disadvantage. It was completely outside of the scope of
the proposed military operations; it occurred at a period when
Inegotiations with foreign Powers, especially with Turkey, had not
reached a stage sufficiently definite to permit of our actually
entering upon a serious campaign; yet Arabi's army, excited by the
recent events, but unbeaten, lay within 14 miles. It was therefore
necessary that the English force on shore, which so far as its
status was concerned was merely a police, should nevertheless be
in a condition to resist any hostile attempt against the town which
12
might be made by Arabi. The news of the plunder of Alexandria
had spread among the whole Egyptian population. The people
received only such reports as it suited Arabi's policy to issue. The
whole machinery of government was in his hands, and it was not
Surprising, therefore, that a people, always accustomed to submit to
the ruling power, should be easily persuaded to aid in every way
the fellah General so long as he was believed to be successful. The
force under Arabi was therefore continually gaining strength, large
numbers of the natives worked at entrenchments for him ; the
Bedouins gathered to his standard ; the position at Kafr ed-Dauar
was becoming each day more formidable.
On the 17th July, the day of Sir A. Alison’s arrival, the
Stafford Regiment and the 17th Company Royal Engineers were
disembarked at Alexandria. A battalion of the Royal Marines had
also arrived in the “Tamar” from Cyprus and disembarked.
On the 18th the King's Royal Rifles landed.
The seamen and marines who, under Captain Fisher, had been,
hitherto engaged on most exhausting work as firemen and
custodians of the town, were now relieved.
The services which had been rendered by Captain Fisher and
the officers and men under him cannot be passed without notice,
though the description of them in detail does not fall within the
scope of this history. The Small force available, the variety of the
work to be accomplished, the size of the town, and the wild
disorder which prevailed at first, made the task one of exceptional
difficulty.
On the evening of the first day of landing (the 17th) a body of
mounted infantry—two officers and thirty men—was formed,
under the orders of Captain Hutton. The Khedive supplied his
private horses for the purpose. They were of an excellent breed,
and proved invaluable. The men were taken by careful selection
from the battalions landed (Stafford and King's Royal Rifles). Both
these battalions had served in South Africa, and the men selected
had been there employed as mounted riflemen, those of the King's
Royal Rifles having belonged to Captain Hutton's corps of mounted
infantry in South Africa; no doubt much of their efficiency
depended on that fact.
On the 18th a party of the mounted infantry patrolled 10 miles
towards the enemy, and from this time onward daily rendered
most valuable Service.
The strength of the force now in Alexandria was 3,755,
including seamen and marines. There were seven 9-pr., two
7-pr guns, six Gatlings, and four rocket-tubes. . In the event
of attack it was possible for Sir B. Seymour to reinforce this body
by 1,200 men. The full number available for defence in an
extreme emergency was therefore nearly 5,000.
Major Ardagh, R.E., was employed in completing the defensive
works, and by the 19th had made the place practically secure
against any attack likely to be at that time attempted.
On the 22nd July the railway in front of the Mallaha
junction on the enemy's side was destroyed by a force under
I 3
Captain Hutton, while some companies of the Rifles and four naval
guns formed a support upon the high ground above Ramleh
under Colonel Ashburnham. The work was carried out without loss.
An inspection of the Map will show that as long as the beds
of Lake Mariut and Lake Abukir are impassable there are only
three narrow lines by which Alexandria can be approached: one
along the sea-coast from the town of Abukir, one between the two
lakes direct from the Delta, and a third by way of El-Meks from the
Western Desert. Of these, the middle approach, which was the
most important, because it was the direct communication with the
position taken up by Arabi's army, consists in fact merely of the
railway embankment and of the two banks of the Mahmudieh
Canal, for the Lake Mariut at that time extended on both sides
of the railway bank up to the banks of the Canal.
The bed of Lake Abukir was not covered with water, but parts
of it were quicksand, part marsh. It was impassable everywhere
for artillery, though passable almost everywhere for cavalry and
infantry. Lake Mariut receives the drainage of the small canals of
the country, which are in this neighbourhood drawn off chiefly for
irrigation purposes from the Mahmudieh Canal.
A large dam across the canal was almost immediately begun
under Arabi's orders, and two cuttings were made in the bank
of the canal on the side of the dam nearest to the position which
his army had taken up at Kafr ed-Dauar.” This had the double
effect of cutting off the supply of water from Alexandria and
of making an artificial imundation covering nearly the whole front
of his works. Incidentally also, as the hot weather came on, it
tended to cause the drying up of the bed of Lake Mariut, and to
change the character of the defensive works at Alexandria. This,
however, only took place gradually, and at the time of
Sir A. Alison's occupation a strong ridge above the suburb of
Ramleh completely commanded the only available ground by
which Arabi could advance direct from his lines upon Alexandria;
that is to say, works placed upon it would be able to Sweep
both the canal and the railway embankment.f
On the side of Abukir the line of approach was completely
commanded by the guns of the fleet. The works at Gabbari
closed the approach from the side of El-Meks.
An occupation of the ridge at Ramleh would therefore com-
plete the defences, and as many villas, and the all-important
waterworks, were within the area thus inclosed, Sir A. Alison
decided to push forward his line of defence to that point, and on
the arrival of reinforcements in the harbour, viz., the Duke of
Cornwall's Light Infantry and the half-battalion Sussex Regiment,
he at daylight on the 24th moved out a force: under the command
of Colonel Thackwell, which seized the position without opposition
and threw up entrenchments. Jº

The original intention had been to protect the right flank by
floating rafts or flat-bottomed boats, but the shallowness of the
water and the rapid fall of Lake Mariut made this impossible. It
was, therefore, to meet this difficulty that Captain Fisher devised
and worked out an armoured train, which proved most serviceable.
This train consisted, at first, of two trucks fitted with iron plating
and sand-bags as protecting cover, with a Nordenfelt and two
Gatling guns. A 9-pr. was also placed on one of the trucks,
with a crane, by means of which it could be lowered out im-
mediately; 200 blue-jackets, with small arms, in other trucks.
protected by sand-bags and boiler-plating, bullet-proof, completed
the fighting force of the train.
On the 29th July, on the Alexandria side of the Mallaha
junction, the railway line which had been destroyed by Arabi’s
outposts was repaired. To accomplish this a small force consist-
ing of the mounted infantry, two companies of marines, and one
company of infantry, assisted by the armoured train, were pushed
forward sufficiently close to Arabi's outposts to cause the deploy-
ment of the whole force there stationed. It consisted at first of a
battalion of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry, subsequently
reinforced by two more battalions and some cavalry. A gun and a
rocket-frame were brought up by the Egyptians, and fired some
innocuous shots over the train. The object of the advance was
secured in the completion of the line, which enabled sufficient
rolling-stock to be run round on the main line between Moharam
Bey of the Cairo–Alexandria line and the advance position at
Ramleh. The position at Ramleh was thus connected with
Alexandria by a second line of railway, the local narrow-gauge
Alexandria-Ramleh Railway having been in operation several days
previously, thanks to the energy and devotion of its Manager.
A regular service of trains was established connecting Ramleh
with Alexandria on both lines.
The armoured train, having been found so useful, was now
further improved by putting one or two empty pioneer-wagons in
front of it, and placing a 40-pr. gun upon a truck, protected
by an iron mantlet. The locomotive was placed in the middle of
the train, and was protected by slung sand-bags and railway iron.

CHAPTER III.
THE IDENTIC NOTE-CALLING OUT OF A PORTION OF THE RESERVES.
—THE WOTE OF CREDIT OF THE 27TH JULY.—REJECTION OF
THE WOTE OF CREDIT IN FRANCE.--THE CHARACTER OF SIR
A. ALISON's DUTIES AT ALEXANDRIA IS CHANGED.—RECON-
NAISSANCE OF THE 5TH AUGUST.
So far all that had been done at Alexandria had consisted
of measures necessary to secure the safety of the town from the
enemy and from marauders. Meantime, events had been taking
place which finally determined the character of the interven-
tion. - -
On the 15th July an “identic note ’’ had been presented at
Constantinople by the European Powers, requiring the Porte to
send troops to Egypt to suppress disorder. To this the Porte did
not reply till after a debate in the French Chambers, on the
18th July, had disclosed the purpose of the French and English
Governments to act in the event of the Porte's declining to
do so.
On the 19th July the Porte, late at night, replied by consenting to
send a Delegate to the Conference. As this implied further delay,
on the 20th July the two Cabinets resolved to send a joint
expedition.
On the 21st the Secretary of State for War, in consultation
with the Commander-in-chief, decided to call out that portion of
the reserves which had left the colours in the previous two years.
The preliminary notices warning the men of the coming call were
Sent Out at once.
A telegram was sent on the same day telling Sir A. Alison that
two Divisions were to be sent from England to Cyprus and Malta.
It was known that Arabi was preparing to destroy the Suez Canal,
and ou the 24th July orders were sent to Sir B. Seymour and
Sir A. Alison warming them to be ready, in case of necessity, to
seize Port Said, Ismailia, and Nefisha.
As, however, there was every reason to avoid any indication of
the direction of the intended advance up to the last moment,
action was not to be taken till specific orders were sent.
On the 25th July the part of the reserves already warned was
called out. - -
On the 27th July the House of Commons, by a majority of
275 to 19, voted a credit of 2,300,000l.
On the 29th July the French Chambers, by a majority of
416 to 75, refused any credit for the expedition.
It was now clear that England alone would act in Egypt. It
Was at Once determined that the campaign should be carried out on
the lines laid down in the Memorandum of the 3rd July
Map No. 1.
16
(see p. 9), in accordance with which all paper arrangements had
been made. But of the force proposed in the Memorandum, a
large brigade was already engaged in the defence of Alexandria.
The necessity had arisen since the programme had been drawn up.
Inconvenient as this fact in itself was, it appeared to be advisable
to take advantage of it to induce Arabi to believe that the
whole force now to be sent out, of the approach of which to the
coast of Egypt he was sure ere long to be informed, was designed
to reinforce the troops in Alexandria, and that the scheme of
campaign involved a direct attack on his position at Kafr ed-
T)auar.
Orders were therefore, on the 31st July, telegraphed in these
words: “Keep Arabi constantly alarmed.”
|Prom this time, therefore, Sir Archibald's operations were
designed to make Arabi believe that the troops at Alexandria were
preparing the way for a serious attack upon Kafr ed-Dauar. This
result was the more easy to bring about that by this time
Alexandria was filled with the special correspondents of newspapers
of all nations; that though there were brilliant exceptions among
those so employed, many of them felt themselves fully competent
to criticize every military operation ; that the one thing which
many of them thought that they could not afford to do was to
allow their readers to suppose that there was anything which they
did not know, or that it was possible that a movement should take
place of which they did not understand the motives. In order
to have something to write about, they were sure to exaggerate
the importance of all that was done, and, in particular, they
were sure to describe every reconnaissance or feint upon Arabi’s
position as a serious attack, and to proclaim to the four corners of
the earth its hopeless failure. In a town with a population like
that of Alexandria it was certain that the impressions of these
gentlemen would be conveyed to the enemy's camp, and would
tend to assure Arabi of the gravity of the attempts made against
lim, of the triumphant success that had attended his defence, and
of the secret discouragement of his enemies. Already, when
Sir Archibald had on the 28th secured his double railway commu-
nication with Ramleh, it had been reported as an “aimless
skirmish.” Not now only, but throughout the campaign, these
reports served our purposes very admirably, by tending to instil
into the minds of the population, and so into that of the hostile
Generals, a false impression as to the aspect of affairs.
To this result M. de Lesseps contributed in a very important
degree. As soon as he heard of the rebel General's intention to
destroy the Canal, he hastened to Arabi's camp and assured him
that if he would not touch the Canal neither France nor Italy
would intervene, and that the English forces would not venture to
invade territory which he regarded as personally his own.
The Rhedive having on the 16th July issued an order dis-
missing Arabi from his post as Minister of War, Arabi, on the
21st, replied by a Proclamation denouncing the Khedive. From
that time forward action was taken in Egypt by usin the Khedive's
17
name. On the 27th July, the day of the Vote of Credit in
the House of Commons, Her Majesty's ship “Orion’’ passed into
the Suez Canal, and moved towards Ismailia, the Khedive having
issued express authority for the Canal to be occupied by England.
M. de Lesseps protested against the proceeding. On the 30th July
Admiral Hewett arrived off Suez. Admiral Hoskins lay off Port
Said with three ships. From this time, therefore, we had in our
hands the means of seizing the Suez Canal simultaneously at all
the most important points. On the 31st July all the French war-
vessels, till then remaining at Alexandria, withdrew, with the
exception of one gun-boat.
Sir Archibald at once began to act in accordance with his new
instructions, and almost daily reconnaissances of Arabi's position
were carried out. Such affairs are not matters of much interest in
detail.
On the 2nd August a sudden advance of Egyptian cavalry
during the night upon an outpost to some extent surprised a
picket, which they compelled to fall back a certain distance.
Mr. De Chair, a Midshipman, sent with despatches, had been
captured on the 29th July, and being sent to Cairo, was paraded
through the streets with an announcement that it was Sir B.
Seymour who had been made prisoner. Both these events tended
greatly to raise the enthusiasm of Arabi's followers, but also to
Concentrate attention on Alexandria.
On the 5th August Sir Archibald, to give more emphasis to the
daily skirmishes, to test the truth of native reports that Arabi was
intending to retire from Kafr ed-Dauar, and to keep up the
impression that the real offensive movement was to be made
from Alexandria, undertook a reconnaissance in person. His own
force being greatly inferior to the enemy in numbers, it was very
unadvisable to begin to move very early in the day, lest the force
should be too seriously engaged, and lest the deliberate intention of
Tetreating at an early stage should be too evident.
Accordingly, the troops were ordered to be in position by 4:30 P.M.
The force moved in two columns.
f The left column, under Lieutenant-Colonel Thackwell, consisted
OT-
1st Battalion Stafford (half-battalion).
2nd Battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (half-
battalion).
3rd Battalion King's Royal Rifles.
Mounted infantry.
Two 9-pr. naval guns.
In all, about 1,000 men.
The right column, under the personal direction of Sir A. Alison,
Was composed of—
Royal Marine Artillery.
Royal Marine Light Infantry.
The armoured train (with its 40-pr. gun).
Two 9-pr. naval guns.
This column also was about 1,000 strong.
18
Map No. 3.
The left column advanced along the banks of the Canal, the
right along the railway.
Each column in turn threatened the flanks of the enemy's
outposts as it advanced.
The most interesting incident of the engagement was the good
Service done by the 40-pr. from the armoured train. The enemy
only yielded successive positions as the artillery fire became
too much for him, or as his flanks were turned. The Egyptian
troops were quite disposed to fight, and it was evident that they
had every intention of holding their advanced posts. Reinforcements
were rapidly pushed up from their main position. Sir Archibald's
object had been secured, and the rapid coming on of darkness made
the withdrawal from the position to which the enemy had been
driven appear natural, so that it could be carried out without
diminishing the confidence which the men had gathered from their
. Successful advance in the first engagement that had taken place.
This was obviously the matter of most importance, for, as the
troops could not be informed of the purpose for which they were
being employed, and were likely to read the comments of those
who understood it as little as themselves, it was right to avoid all
risk of discouraging them in the delicate work of “keeping Arabi
alarmed ” by movements which were intended to have no other
result. Their object could not be mentioned even in the official
reports of the officer in command, published, as these necessarily
were, upon their receipt in London. A congratulatory telegram
from Her Majesty had in all ways an excellent effect, as tending
both to encourage the men and to assign importance to these
operations.
It is difficult to judge how far any of Arabi's reports at
this time represented his own belief, and how far they were only
intended to leave a certain impression in Egypt; but as he reported
officially in a despatch which was sent to Cairo, and thence to
Constantinople, that the left wing of the English consisted of three
battalions of infantry and three squadrons of cavalry, together with
four guns, and the right of three battalions of infantry and one
battery of artillery, while the centre consisted of one regiment of
cavalry, it is, perhaps, not unfair to infer that the object of
imposing upon him the belief that a considerable force had been
engaged against him was fully attained.
Not a single cavalry soldier and not a single horsed gun had
been landed. The four guns were moved by hand, the 40-pr. in
the armoured train. The amour-propre of Englishmen at home was
much hurt at the time by the comments of Continental journals,
which, ignorant alike of the intended plan of campaign and of the
inexorable conditions of ground which determined the choice of the
Ismailia route, assumed always that a direct advance from
Alexandria upon Cairo was to be carried out, and that these
“ainless skirmishes” showed only that the English Generals did
not know what they were about, and were without any definite
plan. It will be, perhaps, a sufficient compensation now to know
that these very comments, reaching the Egyptiºns through numerous
19
sources, were the most valuable assistance which these journals
- could have rendered. They helped to form an º º
under which the plan which had been consistently kept in view, at
least since the 3rd July, was being developed and put in
execution.

CHAPTER IV.
THE EXPEDITION LEAVES ENGLAND.—DETAILS OF THE FORCE, AND
THE EGYPTIAN ARMY AS FAR AS THEN KNOWN.—SIR. G.
WOLSELEY ARRIVES IN ALEXANDRIA AT NIGHT-TIME ON THE
15TH AUGUST.
The expedition in the meantime had begun to leave England.
The “Orient,” with His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught,
commanding the 1st Brigade, and General Willis, commanding
the 1st Division, their Staffs, and the 1st Battalion Scots Guards,
was the first ship to sail with troops of the expeditionary force.
The “Orient” left the Royal Albert Dock, North Woolwich, at
12 o'clock on Sunday, the 30th July.
From that date till the 11th August the various ships con-
veying the force cleared daily from the several ports of the
kingdom. The transports were to call at Malta for orders, and
were there directed to proceed to Alexandria.
It had been originally intended that Sir Garnet Wolseley, with
his Staff, should go overland, vià Brindisi, but a sharp chill,
caught in returning from Osborne, whither he had gone to receive
Her Majesty's commands prior to his departure for Egypt, pros-
trated him with an attack of erysipelas. The doctors recom-
mended a sea-voyage as the only means of making him fit to take
up the command on his arrival in Egypt, and he sailed on the
2nd August, in the “Calabria,” with General Drury Lowe and the
head-quarters of the Cavalry Brigade.
On the 10th August the “Orient” arrived in Alexandria.
General Willis assumed the command. In the evening General
Sir John Adye, who had travelled overland to Alexandria, arrived
with Sir E. Malet, and took over the command.
On the same day Sir Garnet Wolseley, perfectly recovered,
touched at Gibraltar, and thence sent the following secret telegram
to Sir John Adye.
It may be as well to premise that a railway from Limasol to
the hospital in Cyprus had been for some time in contemplation.
A bombardment of the Abukir forts had been a subject of discus-
Sion at Alexandria and of orders from England, but had, for various.
reasons, been postponed.
“Sºr Garnet Wolseley to Sir John Adye, Alexandria.
“I hope to reach Alexandria 15th instant. Do not move troops
to Canal, until I arrive, but have everything ready for the move-
ment. Attract Arabi's attention to Alexandria by daily recon-
naissance towards flank of his position. Can you approach him by
Steam-launches ' If Abukir has not been bombarded, prevent it
being so for the present. Tell Khedive and people that we mean
21
.-ºw
to lay down a railway in Cyprus upon existing roads from Limasol
to hospital in mountain, and embark, nominally for this purpose,
four engines and eighty light carriages in a ship that can go to
Ismailia ; at all events embarking six light carriages which we
can use on railway with horses at first. Arrange with Admiral to
transport five battalions, one regiment of cavalry, and one battery
from Port Said up Canal.”
A Civil Intelligence Department, under Sir F. Goldsmid, had
been established in Alexandria from the commencement of the
occupation. Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch, who had been dispatched
to Alexandria, and attached to the Staff of Sir B. Seymour, prior
to the bombardment, had been employed in collecting military
information. Through these sources it was known that Arabi had
moved troops down towards Suez and to Nefisha, the point at which
the Canal and railway branch off towards Suez and Ismailia; that
he had established a force at Es-Salihiyeh, the terminus of one
branch of railway from Zagazig, a point equi-distant from Ismailia
and Kantara” (20 miles from each); and that he was entrenching
the old military station of Tel el-Kebir, the barracks at which
place were filled with soldiers.
On the 2nd August Admiral Hewett had occupied Suez with a
force of marines without resistance. On the 9th August, seven
transports, with the Indian Contingent, had sailed from Bombay.
As yet there was nothing to lead Arabi to suppose that any move-
ment from the direction of Suez would be other than a diversion
effected by the Indian Contingent; all his preparations along that
line were, in fact, as is now known, merely intended to prevent
such forces as might be detached for an advance, independent of
the main attack, from entering the Delta.
It was especially necessary to keep up this illusion, but the
presence of so considerable a body of hostile troops in the vicinity
of the Canal made Sir John Adye anxious lest a move towards the
Canal should be attempted, and he replied to Sir G. Wolseley's
telegram by One to Malta, informing him of the Egyptian forces
which were now gathering on the eastern side of the Delta, and
assuring him that he would make no movement towards the Canal
unless it became indispensable for the Security of that communi-
cation itself.
Sir Garnet replied from Malta by the following secret tele-
gram —
“Sir Garnet Wolseley to Sir John Adye.
“Malta, August 12, 1882.
“Except very emergent, do not go to Ismailia until I arrive, as
field artillery and cavalry are essential to make first engagement
there fully successful.”
The “Holland,” with the first body of cavalry, the detach-
ments of the 1st Life Guards and Royal Horse Guards, reached
*--------

Map No. 1
22
Alexandria on the 14th August, and the men and horses were
disembarked. It was a great advantage for the condition of the
horses to have even a couple of days on shore. -
The first field battery to arrive, A 1, R.A., reached Alexandria
on the same day, and the horses were landed the following day.
On the night of the 15th August Sir G. Wolseley himself
reached Alexandria.
Since the reconnaissance of the 5th August the only material
changes which had taken place in the situation had been the
successive arrival of troops at Alexandria. The Guards Brigade
had disembarked on the 12th August, and had moved out to
Ramleh. The electric light was now used nightly, with the effect
of exposing to view the whole ground in front of the position up
to Arabi’s lines. The naval force in the Canal had been increased
on the 14th August by the entry of Her Majesty's gun-boat
“Ready" from Port Said.
CHAPTER W.
THE DETAILED PLAN OF CAMPAIGN. DIFFICULTIES TO BE OVERCOME
AND INTENDED MODE OF MEETING THEM.
The moment had now arrived for putting into execution the
first part of the programme of the campaign. It will be
convenient here to set forth in order the nature of the whole
Scheme as it was designed to be carried out.
To effect the purpose of marching upon Cairo it was necessary—
1. To obtain possession of the Maritime Canal, so as to insure
the Safe passage of the expedition.
2. To move to Ismailia, in such successive order as the con-
ditions permitted, the force to be employed.
3. To keep the enemy by every artifice under the impression
that the attack would be made from other points than Ismailia
until force had arrived there sufficient to insure its safe possession.
4. To seize and secure the line of railway and the Sweet-water
Canal to within striking distance of the position in which it was
known that the enemy was preparing to place his main force
for the defence of the eastern side of the Delta, that is to say,
within striking distance of Tel el-Kebir.
5. After these lines of communication had been seized, to put in
Order such parts of either railway or Canal as the enemy had
obstructed or damaged, and to place upon them such rolling-stock
and store-boats as would render them available for the supply of
the army in the field.
6. To accumulate at an advanced post, under an adequate
guard, stores and ammunition sufficient to make the army, when it
moved forward, independent, except for the purposes of distribu-
tion, of all other modes of transport; but in order to hasten this
accumulation, and to provide against contingencies, to Secure as
auxiliary to the railway and Canal such animal transport for
general purposes as time permitted. * *
- 7. To engage the enemy in a general action when, and not
before, the accumulation of stores, or their regular daily trans-
mission along the line, permitted the concentration of the army for
the delivery of an effective—if possible a final blow.
8. To follow up this action with the greatest rapidity, in Order:
(a) both for political, military, and other reasons, to secure posses-
Sion of Cairo; and (b) to seize the points of concentration by
which alone, after the defeat of the army at Tel el-Kebir, the
numerous Egyptian forces stationed at Kafr ed-Dauar, Cairo,
Damietta, Rosetta, and Es-Salihiyeh could unite so as to become
a formidable force, effective for acting in the field.
Some of these points require a little elucidation in order to
show how far the course of the campaign could be, and how far it
Was, foreseen, and what elements in it remained to be determined
Map No. 1.
24
by the course of events. The execution of its several parts had
to be intrusted to various hands, but the co-operation of these
as the campaign developed will show the working out of an Orderly
and prearranged plan consistently prosecuted from the first.
The ordinary rate of movement of ships in the Suez Canal
during peace-time is determined by special considerations.
The narrowness of the channel and the character of the banks
make it impossible for a large ship to pass down at a rapid rate.
The effect of any attempt to move quickly with large steam-
ships is to cause such a wash upon the banks, and such a
consequent back-water, as are not merely destructive of the Canal
itself, but actually impede the working of the engines of steam-
ships.
It is clear, therefore, that even if in an extreme military
emergency it were right to be indifferent to temporary injury
inflicted upon the property of the Company, no advantage could
be secured by attempting to drive the ships at a rate more rapid
than usual. In fact, there were conditions which tended to make
the proposed passage of the expedition more than ordinarily slow.
Even in a country possessed of so vast a mercantile marine as
England, it is necessary, when the ships for so great an under-
taking have to be chartered within a very short time, to engage
many vessels which have not been specially built for a single
route. Many, therefore, of the transports employed had never
been through the Canal before. Special steering gear is fitted
upon all ships which are employed regularly on this route, and the
passage through the short reaches and rapid bends of the Canal
can only be effected with perfect security by ships so prepared, and
by officers accustomed to this special work. Many of the ships'
officers necessarily employed for the Egyptian expedition had, like
the ships, never before travelled from Port Said to Suez.
The deep part of the Canal is much more marrow than the
actual water-space between the banks, and the smallest error
of direction results in grounding, which, in the case of a long
column of vessels following one another at short intervals, not only
causes long delay to the grounding steamer, but also checks the .
whole column behind it. The hostility of M. de Lesseps, who had
in his employ every special Canal pilot, must also be taken into
account as causing an impediment to rapid movement.
It does not lie within the scope of the present history to detail
the admirable forethought on the part of the naval authorities by
which these difficulties were provided against. It will be sufficient
to say that it was arranged that a naval officer should be placed in
authority over every transport; that the whole detailed working
and organization should be placed in the hands of Captain Fisher,
under the Supreme direction of Admiral Hoskins; and that the
Thornycroft torpedo-boats, which, drawing little water, were able -
to pass through the shallows near the banks at a startling speed
(about 20 statute miles an hour), furnished the agency by which
communication was established throughout the length of the
passage, so that as soon as a vessel should ground, assistance could
25
be brought to it, and either enable it to proceed, or in a more
serious case to move it off to the sides of the Canal So as to allow
others to pass.
What however it is of direct importance to point out here is that
the facts above mentioned had to be allowed for as part of the
military problem. Nothing was to be gained by moving to the
mouth of the Canal at Port Said the entire expedition simul-
taneously, because, even with the force required to transport one
Division, many vessels must remain outside the Canal for more
than a day waiting their turn to take their places in the slow pro-
cession. On the other hand, delay in the gathering of vessels at
the destined base at Lake Timsa was not the unmixed disad-
vantage that it might at first sight appear.
An inspection of the accompanying plan of Ismailia as it was
at this time will show that only one small pier then existed there.
Ships did not at first anchor nearer than about half-a-mile from the
shore. Every man of the force, every horse, and every gun, as well
as all the ammunition and stores for the Supply of the army, had
first to be transhipped from the transports into barges and Small
boats, rowed or tugged to shore, and then landed on the Small pier.
Thence they had to proceed up the narrow road leading to the
single small bridge over the Canal across which at first everything
must necessarily pass.
To judge by the comments which were made in Europe Sub-
Sequently, no conception of the nature of such an operation exists
on the Continent at all. This is not surprising. It is a class of
work that has rarely been undertaken by any Continental army,
but it is an operation very characteristic of ordinary English ex-
peditions beyond sea. In this particular case the difficulties were
Somewhat greater than usual, or, what is the same thing, the neces-
Sary time that would be required to effect a landing and to enable
the force to move forward were somewhat longer than is generally
the case, because Ismailia is a station which in ordinary times has
very little traffic passing through it, and because of the consequent
want of landing-stages, &c. The railway brings very few people
from Cairo to meet the boats through the Canal, and very little
merchandize finds its way through the same route; in no sense are
the conditions for the rapid landing of a large number of troops
and of a vast quantity of stores in existence there. It is true that
this state of things could ultimately be changed by our engineers.
But this also would be a question of time. Every tool, every
scrap of material, all the bridging stores, and all the means of con-
structing other piers, for laying down tramways and increasing the
pier accommodation, must, by an inexorable necessity, be first
landed under the conditions actually existing. Materials for all
these purposes, including landing-stages expressly made for
. Ismailia, had been prepared in England before the expedition
Sailed, but it would not be possible to send them forward in the
most advanced vessels of the fleet, for those ships must be other-
Wise filled. In order to secure the all-important lines of com-
munication—the railway and Sweet-water Canal—for the advance
Map No. 6.
26
from Ismailia, it was essential that the first vessels of the fleet
should be occupied by the troops which would be sent forward to
seize them. Those troops, Once sent forward, must be supplied with
food and ammunition, so that a considerable force, with all its guns
and equipment, tons of supplies, Ordnance stores, and ammunition,
and the means of local transport for these, both by railway and
Canal, as well as baggage animals, must be sent on in the most
advanced ships before any engineering materials for the improve-
ment of the means of landing and for additional bridging over the
Canal could be put on shore.
It was not difficult, therefore, to foresee that, however effec-
tive and rapid the first movement to Ismailia might be, and how-
ever successfully the first seizure of the lines of communication
for the advance were carried out, these actions must be followed by
long periods of hard, uninteresting work, very little likely to be
understood or appreciated at a distance. -
These considerations determined alike the most suitable moment
for the movement on Ismailia, and the Order of disposition of the
ships for the Canal passage.
At the time of Sir Garnet Wolseley's arrival at Alexandria
on August 15 the reports of vessels passing Malta, received by
telegraph, showed that by the 19th of August nearly the whole
of the infantry of General Willis', the 1st Division, would have
reached Alexandria. The Household Cavalry had arrived, one
battery of Horse Artillery was due on the 16th, and one battery
on the 19th, while the remainder of the cavalry and artillery were
at sea, but could be directed to follow so as to reach Ismailia as
soon as it was possible for them to disembark.
It is necessary to explain another feature of an expedition of
this kind which habitually determines the mode of arranging
troops on the line of advance. Looking forward to the period
subsequent to the intended seizure of the Fresh-water Canal and
railway in advance of Ismailia, to the period during which the
accumulation of stores would be made preparatory to the general
advance, it will be seen that the one method of hastening the final
movement would be to shorten the time spent in collecting stores
at the front. But out of the stores sent forward a certain propor-
tion would necessarily be required for the daily consumption of the
force actually at the front, engaged in protecting the accumulation.
That amount of daily consumption, whatever it might be, would
necessarily be deducted from the progressive accumulation at the
advanced depôt. It is obvious, therefore, that the fewer troops sent
forward the smaller would be the daily deduction from the accumu-
lating stores, and therefore the more rapid would be the rate of
accumulation. Now, it will not be difficult even for a non-military
reader to understand that the force which, when adequately en-
trenched behind defensive works at an advanced post, is sufficient
to guard the station with all its stores, may be much less than the
army which is required to engage in a general action, especially if
that general action involves the attack upon an army elaborately
entrenched in a well-chosen position. These considerations apply
27
with peculiar force to the case of a campaign against an army like
the Egyptian, whióh, though it was known to be very effective
behind entrenchments, was by no means likely to make a very
determined attack upon English troops when in an entrenched
position.
It follows that the most rapid way of carrying out the cam-
paign would be, as soon as possible after an adequate force had
been landed at Ismailia, to push it forward so as to seize the line
of railway and canal, and then to keep at the advanced station,
within striking distance of Tel el-Kebir, a protecting force just
sufficient to hold that station, but no larger than would just be
sufficient for this work. Hence, as a first deduction from all that
has been said, it follows that it was advisable to leave at Alexan-
dria all the infantry that would not be required for the first
movements from Ismailia. As only a small proportion of the
artillery had arrived, and as the disembarkation of that arm is .
a very slow operation, it would, on the other hand, be advisable to
send all the remaining batteries forward to Ismailia, but not
beyond it, as soon as the ships reached Alexandria, because their
movement to Ismailia and their disembarkation could take place
whilst the preliminary operations in the front were being carried
on. The same remark applies to the remainder of the cavalry
also, with this addition, that the earlier movements were sure to
demand the services of that arm. Moreover, the larger the force
for the time being in Alexandria, the more easy was it to continue
to keep the Egyptian General uncertain as to the true line of
attack.
Before returning to the steps taken to put into practice the
military movements determined by these motives, it may be well
to illustrate the nature of the whole operation by one other
remark.
During a certain period of the campaign, when the hardest
work that fell to the lot of the little army throughout the whole'
course of it was going on, but when nothing brilliant could be
recorded of a kind likely to tickle the ears of readers at home—in
fact during that very period of dull preparation which, as has been
Seen, could be fully anticipated when the scheme was first worked
out—a comparison was made between the six weeks within which
the Prussian army in 1866 conquered Austria and the eighteen
days which elapsed between the earlier operations of the advance
and the actual movement on Tel el-Kebir. It was assumed to be
a kind of Rule of Three sum, the working out of which was greatly
to the disadvantage of the little force in Egypt. It is necessary to
point out that to make such a comparison is not merely to compare
great things with small, but to institute a comparison absolutely
irrelevant. Supposing that the army which fought at Sadowa
could by any mercantile marine in the world have been tran-
Sported to Port Said, it must thence have moved under the con-
ditions which have been here described. So moving, supposing its
stores could have been transported across the desert and by the line
of railway and Sweet-water Canal at all, it could not have carried
28
out the operation under many months. The larger the force the
slower would have been the movement. The force which was just
sufficient to capture the lines of Tel el-Kebir, and there crush
the Egyptian army, was the force which could most rapidly effect
the conquest of Egypt.
Por this reason, and for no other, that force was fixed upon; it
was not for want of other resources in England.
Indeed, whilst Sir Garnet Wolseley was still at sea, the question
of preparing a 3rd Division as a reasonable precaution had been
entertained at the War Office, and soon after his arrival at Alex-
andria the following two secret telegrams were exchanged between
him and the Secretary of State for War, the dates of which will
remove a misunderstanding subsequently common as to the cause
and circumstances of the preparation of this reinforcement. It will
be seen that it was suggested from home, and accepted as a prudent
step, before the campaign proper had begun:-
“The War Secretary to Sir Garnet Wolseley.
“August 17, 4:25 P.M.
“We are discussing preparing for another Division, though
hoping you will not require it. We are preparing regimental
transport. We are also considering making up establishment of
men and horses for Departmental Corps. Shall be glad of your
opinion whether there is probability of either a brigade or whole
Division being called for.”
“Sir Garnet Wolseley to the War Secretary.
“August 18.
“I do not believe we shall require more troops after depôts
have been fully made up and formed here, but this should be done
at once. I think formation of a 3rd Division a wise precaution.
Regimental transport should be on the scale laid down in Regula-
tions, not according to Special Scale.”
Exact calculation as to the forces needed for a particular work
does not justify the absence of provision for possible chances.
Precisely the same remark applies to the preparation of a siege
train. The reason of its preparation was by no means that it was
supposed that it would certainly be required, but that in a country
containing strongly fortified works it would have been very rash
not to have the means at hand for reducing them. Though the
campaign was to be decided in the open field, it was certain that
the surrender of the fortresses would be hastened by the knowledge
that the invading army possessed a powerful siege train.
29
CHAPTER VI.
THE SEIZURE OF THE MARITIME CANAL BY ADMIRALS HOSKINS
AND HEWETT.
On the first day which Sir Garnet Wolseley spent in
Alexandria, 16th August, the whole of the arrangements for
Seizing the Canal, and for the movement to Ismailia, were worked
out between him and Sir B. Seymour.”
On the evening of that day Admiral Hoskins left in the “Iris”
for Port Said, to communicate through the Canal the plan of
operations to Admiral Hewett, commanding at Suez, and to make
arrangements with him for the preliminary operation of seizing and
clearing, throughout its entire length, the Suez Canal on the
destined morning of Sunday, the 20th August.
Since the beginning of August Admiral Hoskins had been in
possession of the following mandate from the Khedive, autho-
rizing him to seize and occupy, in the Khedive's name, all necessary
points along the Suez Canal:—
“M. le Contre-Amiral, “Alexandrie, le 1* Août, 1882.
“Vous étes autorisé à occuper tels points de l’Isthme de Suez
que vous jugerez utiles pour assurer le libre trafic par le Canal, la
protection des villes et populations situées sur son parcours, et
repousser toute force qui ne reconnaitrait pas mon autorité.
“Vous étes également autorisé, M. le Contre-Amiral, a prendre
les mesures nécessaires pour enlever aux rebelles la voie ferrée
entre Suez et Ismaïliah. *.
“(Signé) M£HÉMET THEWFIK.
“Sir A. H. Hoskins, C.B., Contre-Amiral
Commandant les Forces Navales
Britanniques à Port-Said.”
It will be convenient to follow through the prelininary
Operations, carried out by Admiral Hoskins, before detailing the
movement of the troops, which were to pass down the Canal
under the security provided by him. As the Canal does not admit,
throughout its general course, of the passage of large ships going
both ways at the same time, this difficulty is met by the con-
Struction, at certain points, of stations or “gares,” where the Canal
is widened out to a considerable extent, so as to allow ships to lie
9ut of the course of the Canal whilst others pass. No ship
is allowed to move between “gare” and “gare” till the passage is
* An absurd misstatement has appeared in various quarters that the arrangements
for the movement to Ismaïlia were determined by a “Council of War.” Lord
Wºlseley has never assembled a “council of War” during any campaign or expc-
dition in which he has commanded.

announced by telegraph to be clear from vessels moving in the
opposite direction. These conditions made it necessary to provide
beforehand that no ships should be moving northward whilst the
expedition passed South.
At 10 A.M. on the 17th August Admiral Hoskins reached
Port Said. Captain Fitzroy had been in the Canal in Her
Majesty's ship “Orion * since the 27th July (vide p. 21, ante).
The small squadron at Ismailia, consisting of the “Orion,”
“Carysfort,” and “Coquette,” had had an anxious duty for nearly a
month in watching over the security of the Canal. On Friday
morning, 18th August, Captain Fitzroy visited Admiral Hoskins
at Port Said, and received, personally, instructions for seizing
Ismailia before daybreak on the morning of the 20th August.
Captain Fairfax, of Her Majesty's ship “Monarch,” was ordered
to seize Port Said, at the same hour. Commander Edwards, of
Her Majesty's ship “Ready,” started at 8 o'clock on Saturday
evening, the 19th, to occupy all barges, dredges, &c., along the line
to Ismailia, to seize the Kantara telegraph station, and restore
telegraph communication throughout the line from Port Said to
Ismailia, to cut Avabi's telegraphic line of communication with
Syria, and to require all ships in the Canal between Port Said
and Ismailia, bound for Port Said, to move into the “gares”
and there remain.
The “Nyanza,” a condensing steam-ship, was sent early on the
17th to Ismailia with tents, provisions, and an extra 100 men as a
reinforcement to the squadron there. The “Ready" and “Dee”
gun-boats, with three companies of marines, were also sent as a
reinforcement. sº
Admiral Hewett, on his side, was to allow no ship to enter
the Canal at Suez on the 19th, to drive the enemy out of
Shaluf on the morning of the 20th, and, as soon as possible, to
capture Serapeum. In this way the whole length of the Canal
was to be seized and cleared from Port Said to Suez, so as to be
ready soon after daybreak on the 20th August for the passage of
the expedition from Alexandria. -
With the exception of the seizure of Serapeum, which did not
take place till the 21st, all these operations were simultaneously
and successfully carried out soon after 3 A.M. on the morning of the
named day.
No difficulty was found in occupying the various dredges and
other boats, each with an officer and fifteen men. Nearly all the
ships passing through the Canal were safely retained in the
“gares.” One vessel, the “Melbourne,” of the Messageries
Maritimes Company, claimed the right of a French mail-boat to
pass. As a matter of international courtesy, the “Melbourne’’ was
allowed to continue her journey.
The captains of two English steamers, the “Ross-shire" and
“Counsellor,” intent upon the profit of their owners, and it is
to be hoped not realizing the mischief they might very possibly
have occasioned to a national undertaking, in which their owners
had more than the ordinary interest of Englishmen, failed to remain
31
3
in the “gare,” and directly the gun-boat “Iris” was out of sigh
followed in the wake of the “Melbourne.” They thus reached a
part of the Canal in which it was useless to stop them. With
the exception of these three ships, the whole of the vessels in the
Canal were cleared out of the way of the coming expedition. Soon
after dawn on the 20th August.
The seizure of Port Said by Captain Fairfax was equally
successful. In order to distract attention from the attack there the
“Falcon" had been sent, just after sunset on the 19th, to anchor
off the coast midway between Port Said and Fort Gemil. The
“Northumberland” anchored off Fort Gemil during the night.
At Port Said, before the attacking parties left the ships, the
Sentries were surprised and seized by Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch,
who landed from an open boat with six marines.
By an ingeniously-constructed floating bridge, formed of a
lighter planked over and of the launch of the “Monarch,” the men
from that vessel were able to land on a broad front.
From the “Iris,” also, in the Canal, there was landed, under
Lieutenant Cook, R.N., a party which, meeting two companies of
seamen from the “Monarch,” under Commander Hammill, formed
with them a chain of sentries, which, stretching across the neck of
land between Lake Menzaleh and the sea, effectually cut off all
retreat from the town, and thus prevented any information from
being conveyed elsewhere of what was going on. Meantime, a
company of the Royal Marines, under Captain Coffin, from the
“Iris,” with a Gatling, moved straight upon the barracks, while
from the “Monarch" a company of the Marine Battalion, under
Captain Eden, Royal Marines, and a Gatling from the “Monarch,”
moved to meet them on the other side of the barracks. The
soldiers in the barracks, taken before they could be roused, laid
down their arms. The Khedive's Governor, who had been expelled
by the rebels, landed with the English troops, and assumed at Once
the local authority.
Kantara was occupied without resistance.
At Ismailia the force given below” landed at 3 A.M., and
surrounded the lock guard before they were discovered. The guard
fired off their rifles, but only wounded an officer, Commander
Kane. The guard over the Governor's house laid down their
{ll'IſlS.
A small native village just outside Ismailia, known as “Arab's-
town,” was occupied by the enemy; but they were easily dislodged
by the seamen and marines, who advanced under a covering fire
from the ships.
By 4 A.M. the whole place was occupied.
As soon as the telegraph office had been seized, it was ascer-

tained from the messages found there that the enemy, who had
about 2,000 men in Nefisha, were intending to reinforce that
station by train, in order to attack Ismailia and the ships. Her
Majesty's ship “Orion” and Her Majesty's ship “Carysfort” were
therefore ordered by Captain Fitzroy to shell the railway station,
and, though the distance was about 4,000 yards, a train was
wrecked by a shell, and the camp so much injured that the enemy
abandoned the place.
Telegrams were found to be still arriving from Cairo to the
traffic manager at Ismailia. A reply was sent, in the traffic
manager's name, to the War Office in Cairo, to the effect that 5,000
English troops had landed, and that any attempt to relieve the
place was too late. The War Minister acknowledged the receipt,
and said he had informed all concerned. The position of Ismailia
was immediately strengthened.
Meantime, a very successful operation had been carried out by
a force of the Seaforth Highlanders and the seamen and marines
of Her Majesty's ships “Seagull” and “Mosquito,” sent by
Admiral Hewett from Suez to Shaluf.
It was important to seize Shaluf, not only because it gave
possession of the part of the Suez Canal between Suez and the
Bitter Lakes, but also because there is at that point a lock of the
Eresh-water Canal permitting the water to be emptied into the
Suez Canal. The lock-gates had been opened, and the town of
Suez would soon have been deprived of its supply of fresh water.
The lock was at once seized by a company of the Seaforth
Highlanders, under Captain Lendrum, and the lock-gates closed.
The enemy opened fire, and showed in some force on the
further side of the Fresh-water Canal. Two Highlanders were
drowned in attempting to pass; but Lieutenant Lang, Seaforth
Highlanders, having swum across under fire and procured a boat
from the further side, the men crossed the Canal, and, with the
assistance of a well-directed fire of small arms, Gatlings, and a
7-pr. from the tops of the “Seagull” and “Mosquito,” the High-
landers and ships’ landing companies easily drove back and
dispersed the Egyptians.
The enemy showed no want of courage, but their shooting was
So bad that only two Sailors were wounded. In this skirmish
sixty-two Egyptians were made prisoners, and a considerable
quantity of stores and ammunition captured.
Everything was thus prepared for the passage down the Canal,
the landing at Ismailia, and secure communication by the Canal
with the Indian Contingent on its arrival at Suez.

CHAPTER VII.
THE MOVEMENT TO ISMAILIA—THE DISEMBARKATION BEGINS:
19TH AUGUST TO 23RD AUGUST.—NECESSITY FOR THE ADVANCE
OF A SMALL FORCE TO SAVE THE FAILING WATER.
To return to Alexandria: everything having been on the 16th
August arranged for the movement on the 19th, so that the fleet
might arrive at Port Said by early dawn on the 20th August, that
which chiefly remained to be done was to embark the troops in
such a way as not to convey information to the enemy of the
destined point of attack. To this end it was essential not merely
to spread-rumours of a destination other than that actually intended,
but to leave almost every one under the impression that, for the
moment at all events, something was to be done which was in fact
not contemplated at all. It was so certain that what was believed
by the troops and correspondents to be about to take place would
be reported to Arabi that it became very important that every one
in Alexandria should believe that we were not moving to the
Canal. As the purpose of attacking the Abukir forts had been for
a long time seriously entertained, and as it was at least probable
that some hint of this intention had reached the rebel forces, that
fact made deception the more easy. It was easy to issue actual
Orders for the attack upon the forts at Abukir, to move thither, and
to make every preparation as if for this end, because the movement
and the preparations would all serve for the purpose really intended.
Accordingly orders were issued to the fleet to prepare for the long
Contemplated bombardment of Abukir, and elaborate arrangements
Were made for supporting this by a combined movement of the
whole of the forces to be left in Alexandria under the orders of
Sir Edward Hamley, who had arrived from England, a few hours
before Sir G. Wolseley, to command the 2nd Division. Sir E.
Hamley was instructed to make arrangements for advancing upon
Arabi's works to co-operate with a supposed advance of the rest
of the army from Abukir Bay, and worked out all the details of
that operation, issuing orders to his two Brigadiers, Sir A. Alison
and Sir E. Wood, on the evening of the 18th, after all his
proposals had received the full approval of Sir G. Wolseley. Sir
Iºdward, who was not in the secret as to the operations that were
really intended, was not a little incommoded in his plans by the .
fact that, for the reasons already given, no field artillery was left to
him, but after having clearly pointed out his weakness in this
respect, he did his best to compensate the defect by his general
arrangements.
On the 18th the whole of the Brigade of Guards was re-em-
barked, as were also the cavalry and artillery which had been
landed. One of the first points to which Sir Garnet's attention
had been directed on his arrival at Alexandria was the embarkation
ID

34
of the four locomotives and eighty carriages, which up to that time
had not, unfortunately, been put on board ship. In his telegram
of 10th August from Gibraltar (see p. 21) he had ordered them to
be embarked. Immediate arrangements were now made for their
being dispatched to Ismailia.
On the evening of the 18th all the fleet anchored outside the
outer harbour of Alexandria with the exception of the “Salamis’
and “Helicon,” dispatch-boats, the first containing Sir Garnet
Wolseley and the Chief of the Staff, the second Sir Beauchamp
Seymour.
At noon on the 19th the fleet of eight iron-clads and seventeen
transports was joined by the two dispatch-boats, and Sir B. Sey-
mour immediately gave the signal for weighing anchor. Each
iron-clad had two transports detailed to accompany it and to work
as a small division under the orders of the Naval Captain.
In moving off the twenty-five ships formed in five lines, sweep-
ing eastwards towards Abukir. About 4 P.M. the ships anchored in
Abukir Bay. There they remained till night-fall, when the small
craft were sent close in shore and opened fire, whilst the rest of the
fleet steamed off towards Port Said, which was reached soon after
Sunrise.
It was not possible at once to enter the Canal, because the
“Melbourne” and the two English steamers had not cleared out
(vide p. 30). It was necessary, however, to provide an immediate
reinforcement, in case of accident, for the holders of Ismailia, and
Major-General Graham, with a wing of the West Kent, was there-
fore transhipped into a torpedo-boat, which, for the reasons already
explained, was able to pass through the Canal, though no larger
vessel could have done so. After the torpedo-boat had passed
the three steamers which blocked the way, General Graham's
party was transhipped into the gun-boat “Falcon" and landed at
Ismailia at 10 P.M.
As soon as the three ships moving north had cleared out of the
Canal, the expedition entered it in the following order:—

On the 20th the vessels in front of the “Catalonia” reached
Kantara by dusk. The “Catalonia” at sunset grounded 8 miles
from Port Said. All the ships forming part of the expedition from
Alexandria anchored in the Canal.
The eleven transports, conveying the remainder of the artillery,
the 4th Dragoon Guards, the Royal Irish, and Royal Irish Fusiliers,
which had not reached Alexandria by the 19th, were still at sea
from 24 to 48 hours from Port Said.
At 9 A.M. on the 21st Sir Garnet Wolseley reached Ismailia,
and at 10 A.M. sent forward General Graham, with his half-bat-
talion of the West Kent and a naval Gatling gun, to occupy
Nefisha, reinforcing him with the battalion of marines as soon as
these could be landed.
The vessels in front of the “Batavia” reached Ismailia by dusk.
The “Batavia” repeatedly grounded, so that those astern of her
only accomplished 20 miles by night-fall.
The Indian Contingent had begun to arrive at Suez on the
evening of the 20th August.
The action at Shaluf, on the 20th, was followed up on the 21st
by the occupation of Serapeum by the Seaforth Highlanders,
under Lieutenant-Colonel Stockwell, The lock from the Sweet-
*E=h-
, *. The Mounted Infantry, 70 men and horses, were under command of Captain
Parr, 1st Somersetshire Regiment.

water into the Salt-water Canal was, like that at Shaluf, found to
have been opened, and was closed. The enemy, who had retreated
from Shaluf, were not aware of the occupation of Serapeum, and
attempted to reach the lock, but were easily driven off. From
prisoners it was ascertained that all the parties of the enemy
stationed between Nefisha and Suez were retreating northwards
across the desert.
The lock at Geneffeh had been occupied in the passage north-
wards of the “Seagull” and “Mosquito” with the Seaforth High-
landers for Serapeum. * 3.
Thus, by the 22nd, the whole line of railway and Fresh-water
Canal between Suez and Ismailia was in our hands, and communi-
cation by land with the Indian Contingent had been secured. In
several places, however, the line of railway had been injured, and
it could not be repaired till engineer stores had been landed for the
purpose. The railway had been also injured, though to no great
extent, beyond Nefisha. --
The disembarkation was now carried on as rapidly as the
conditions permitted, but it is necessary to observe, first, that it
was not till late on the evening of the 23rd that even one division
of two guns of N | A Royal Horse Artillery, the first battery to
be landed, had completed their disembarkation; and not till the
afternoon of that day that the Household Cavalry, the leading
troops of that arm, were on shore. It is necessary to press atten-
tion to this question of the time required for the work of disem-
barkation, because from the comments, made by even professional
critics, it might be supposed that the movement and disembarka-
tion of an army are precisely the same thing as the movement and
disembarkation of a single traveller.
By the evening of the 23rd, that is, four days after the
expedition had sailed from Alexandria, about 9,000 men, nearly
the whole of the personnel contained in the ships forming the first
part of the expedition, were on shore; but the disembarkation, as
a military force, of even that fraction of the whole army was by no
means complete. The narrow roadway between the landing-stage
and the bridge still teemed with men and animals, moving back-
wards and forwards in the transport of materials. The whole of
the space nearest to the landing-stage was piled with stores of all
kinds awaiting removal, and only a small number of the transports
had been cleared. *
By the evening of the 23rd August the 7th Dragoon Guards
had arrived, but had not completed their disembarkation. The
4th Dragoon Guards had arrived in harbour, in the “Greece.” and
“City of New York,” but were not disembarked. The greater
part of the artillery which had not sailed from Alexandria with:
the expedition had just arrived, and could not complete their dis-
embarkation for some days. The “City of Paris,” with the Royal
Irish, and the “Arab,” with the Royal Irish Fusiliers, came into .
Ismailia on the 23rd.
So far as the Small supply of engineering materials yet landed
made it possible, work had already been begun for the purpose of
37
joining the railway-station, by a tram-line, with the landing-stage,
but progress was as yet very slow.
In order to get rolling-stock on to the line it was necessary to
send round to Suez the engines which had been brought from
Alexandria, and before they could be brought up from thence the
line of railway had to be repaired. A train of carriages, but no
engine, had been captured at Nefisha, and no rolling-stock of any
kind, except two broken-down carriages, used for local purposes,
had been taken at Suez.
The water in the Sweet-water Canal was rapidly falling, and,
from local information, it was ascertained that the part of the
canal where the most serious injury could be inflicted upon it by
the enemy lay within a few miles of Ismailia. Sir Garnet
Wolseley, therefore, resolved to push on a small force in order to
occupy the canal as far as Magſar, a point at which it was
known that the enemy had constructed a dam, stopping the flow
of the canal. Beyond Magfar the ground rises steadily towards
Tel el-Maskhuta. Around Magfar the land is flat, and is irrigated
by numerous Small canals drawn off from the main one. If, there-
fore, in rear of this dam the enemy broke through the sides of the
Ismailia Canal, they could easily draw off all the water that would
flow down to Ismailia and Suez; whereas if this part of the canal
were held by us, though they could still dam, it higher up, it
would be by no means so easy for them to break down the
much higher banks where the canal flowed through the more
elevated land beyond Tel el-Maskhuta. Moreover, in drawing
off the water at Magfar, the injury inflicted on the fellaheen
would be very Small, whereas any attempt to empty the canal
higher up in its course to such an extent as to deprive us of water
would occasion an injury to the crops which it was probable that
the Egyptians would be very unwilling to inflict.
An immediate movement, therefore, as far as Magfar was
imperatively necessary for the safety of the army. As far as the
dam at Magfar stores could be pushed up by boat, and a system
for supply by this means was at once organized. *
Before detailing the operations consequent upon the determina-
tion to advance to Magfar, it will be well to notice the effect
which the seizure of Ismailia had had upon the movements and
actions of the enemy, and what had happened elsewhere.

CHAPTER VIII.
ALEXANDRIA FROM THE 19TH AUGUST TO THE 23RD AUGUST-
EFFECT ON THE ENEMY OF THE MOVEMENT TO ISMAILIA.
When Sir Garnet left Alexandria on the 19th August, the
Chief of the Staff put into Sir Edward Hamley's hands a sealed
packet, to be opened early on the morning of the 20th August. The
packet contained this private letter from Sir Garnet to Sir
Edward —
“Alea’andria, August 18, 1882.
“My dear Hamley,
“I do not mean to land at Abukir; my real destination
is Ismailia. I hope to reach that place about 4 P.M. on Sunday
next. We make our demonstration all the same at Abukir to:
morrow, and I hope it may have the desired effect of imposing
upon Arabi and his friend Lesseps. A French ship is now
aground near Lake Timsa, and if this has been done purposely, it
may somewhat retard my passage down the Canal. *
“When you open this, keep the news to yourself, tell no one,
and do nothing beyond showing as many men as you can con-
veniently in Arabi's front, and giving him as many shell from any
of your guns of position that can reach him in his works. I do not
even telegraph the news of my intended movements home until I
have reached Port Said myself, which I hope to do before day-
break on Sunday morning.
“I shall bring you on as soon as I can, as I shall want every
available man I can get for my fight near Tel el-Kebir, if Arabi
will only in kindness stay to fight me there.
“Good-bye for the present.
“Sincerely yours,
(Signed) “G. J. WOLSELEY.
“Sir E. B. Hamley.” v -
It is to be noted that the ground, over which troops could
advance, between Arabi's front at Kafr ed-Dauar and our front from
Ramleh to Alexandria, was no longer at this time, as was at first
the case (see ante, p. 13), restricted to the strip in which lay the
Canal and railway embankment. Lake Mariut was receding every
day, and left a large margin of dry strand and of shallow water
towards the town wall of Alexandria; and, on the other side,
Lake Abukir had dried up so far that from the whole front of the
town of Ramleh up to and beyond the whole extent of Arabi’s
works was a level space of hard sand along which infantry and
horses could advance everywhere, though a marshy strip outside
the Palm Grove of Ramleh prevented guns from going far into the
plain. Consequently, Arabi's force on the one side, or our troops
at Ramleh on the other, were perfectly free to manoeuvre across
the wide space now left between the two lakes.
39
A reconnaissance had been carried out on afternoon of the 19th
by Sir E. Wood with half a battalion of the 1st Berkshire, in which
one man had been severely wounded. ---
On opening Sir Garnet's letter Sir E. Hamley dismissed the
troops who had, according to Orders of the previous night, turned
out at daybreak for the attack on Kafr ed-Dauar. He ordered a
fresh parade for 4 P.M., the afternoon being, for the same reasons
which determined Sir A. Alison's choice of hour in the reconnais-
sance of the 5th August, more suitable than the morning for a
demonstration not intended to be pressed home. But, meantime,
he placed four companies at points of the edge of the Palm Grove
to look like the heads of columns and rode into the plain with
some of his officers as if reconnoitring Arabi’s works, which were
kept fully manned by the enemy. At 4 P.M. Sir E. Wood's troops
as below” advanced along the Mahmudiyeh Canal towards the
enemy's position at Kafr ed-Dauar, while Sir A. Alison's moved
out from the Palm Grove, under the personal direction of Sir E.
Hamley, and advanced across the dry bed of the lake towards the
enemy's works, manoeuvring there as if to attack the main front.
The enemy opened fire from one very large gun, and apparently
from three smaller ones, and also firing many rockets, which, as
well as the shells from the large gun, passed over the troops,
exploding mostly behind them. The enemy having developed his
full force, our troops fell back without casualties and retired within
the lines.
The Highland Brigade was this day completed by the arrival of
the 2nd Highland Light Infantry and the Black Watch (1st Royal
Highlanders). Reconnaissances were at first carried out daily, but
by the 23rd August they were discontinued; it being judged no
longer possible to deceive the enemy by mere repetition.
On the 22nd August Sir E. Hamley received a telegram from
Ismailia informing him that it was proposed to leave for the
garrison of Alexandria the Manchester and Derbyshire Regiments,
and 1,000 men of depôts from England. It was hoped that if
two regiments of Sir E. Hamley’s force were, in addition to the
above, detained in Alexandria, as well as one battery of Garrison
Artillery and the Malta Fencibles, the remainder of the 2nd Division
might be brought round to Ismailia as soon as the place was clear
enough for their disembarkation. Major-General Harman had
already been ordered out from England to take up the command at
Alexandria.
It was necessary, however, to consider not only the military,
but also the political situation, and Sir E. Hamley was directed to
consult on this subject Sir E. Malet, the British Minister. Sir E.
Malet expressed a strong sense of the political importance of
retaining a powerful force in Alexandria.

* Brigade, Sir E. Wood : 1st South Stafford, 1st Berkshire, with two guns drawn by

In order, therefore, to provide for the reduction of the garrison
and to hasten the transfer of his Division to Ismailia, Sir E. Hamley
proceeded vigorously with the entrenchments of Ramleh. Under
his directions, Colonel Maitland, the Commanding Royal Engineer
of the 2nd Division, converted the place therefore virtually into an
entrenched camp, with a strong interior redoubt on the signal hill.
Powerful guns were removed from the sea front of Alexandria, and
mounted on the works of Ramleh. He also provided for the
defence of El-Meks and of the walls of Alexandria, and redistributed
the two regiments forming its garrison in posts for the better
maintenance of internal order, and protection of the town in case
of assault.
According to the information which we now possess, the ruse
employed to deceive the Egyptians as to the destined movement to
the Canal was entirely successful. At the time when Arabi fell
back from Alexandria after the bombardment, and was dismissed
by the Khedive from the Ministry of War, he very prudently
appealed to a Council of Notables in Cairo. Uncertainty as to the
exact Scope of the power and responsibility attached to particular
offices is characteristic of revolutionary Governments. It appears
that from this time onwards a Military Committee, selected from
among the Notables, exercised, in their own belief, all authority
over the army, and regarded Arabi simply as one of the Generals
under their orders. He, on the other hand, continued to regard
himself as the Commander-in-chief and Ruler of the country.
His great influence, however, depended not upon any military
knowledge or capacity, but upon his being able to excite the
enthusiasm and fanaticism of the soldiers and people. All the
communications of the country by rail, water, and telegraph
Centred in Cairo, while his services were most valuable in presence
of the enemy. It was therefore almost inevitable, since infor-
mation of what was going on from all parts of the country went
to the War Office in Cairo, that the direction of the larger move-
ments should practically come thence.
Yakoub Sawmy Pasha was President of the Council in Cairo,
and at all events believed himself, and was considered by the
Council, to have the direction of affairs in his hands. A body
of twenty-five Notables formed the Council under him. Arabi,
Whilst at Kafr ed-Dauar, received information daily of all that took
place in Alexandria, partly from inhabitants, partly from men paid
to obtain news. He heard of all orders issued to our troops; all
the town rumours were reported to him. As, however, the action
taken on our side had been based on the assumption that this
Would certainly be the case, he found himself much more often
deceived than aided by the news he so obtained.
. At the date of the bombardment the Egyptian army consisted
in all of about 9,000 men, 48 batteries of 6 guns each (288 field
guns), but they had only 750 horses; 5,000 of these troops were
in Alexandria, the remainder being distributed over the country.
The Egyptians say that, up to ten days after the bombardment, the
force at Kafr ed-Dauar did not exceed 6,500 regulars, and that
41
Bedouins did not begin to come in till twenty-five days after the
bombardment. By calling in to the colours the old reserve men,
- some of them over 50 years of age, the army was at once raised to
60,000 men.
At the time of the seizure of Ismailia their army was thus Map No. 1.
distributed. In round numbers:—
15,000 at Kafr ed-Dauar.
15,000 at Abukir, Rosetta, and Burlus.
7,000 at Damietta.
12,000 at Tel el-Kebir and on the eastern side
of the Delta.
11,000 at Cairo.
60,000 in all.
The Bedouins had then begun to come in, and there were about
3,000 of them at Kafr ed-Dauar and about 3,000 at Tel el-Kebir,
in addition to the above.
The Egyptian Council had been completely convinced by the
assurances of M. Lesseps that the Canal could not be occupied by
us. The occupation of Suez had, however, so far alarmed them
that they had thought it prudent to have a considerable force at
Tel el-Kebir, though they did not expect any movement from
Alexandria by the Canal till it actually took place.
The reports of the threatened attack upon Abukir reached
Cairo, and a bombardment of that place was so fully expected
that on the 19th, the day on which the fleet sailed, 3,000 men were
sent to Abukir from Cairo. When the fleet sailed no news of that
event reached the Council. The first intelligence they received of
the movement of the fleet was from Abukir, whence a report of
the threatened bombardment arrived as soon as the fleet appeared,
and it was then fully expected that a general advance would be
made from both Abukir and Alexandria. Later news from Abukir
informed the Council that some of the ships had anchored, and
that others had gone on, probably to Damietta. It was then
thought that Damietta would also be seized, and an attack made
from thence simultaneously with one from Kafr ed-Dauar. The
news that we had seized Port Said and Ismailia reached Cairo
through our own telegrams as soon as those events took place,
though the information was conveyed in a form designed to impose
upon them, and to induce them not to attempt to disturb our pos-
SeSSIOrl.
Strange as it may appear, it seems now to be certain that the
great transfer of force on the 19th August from Alexandria to
Ismailia remained unknown to Arabi till he heard of it with
evident astonishment in Ceylon about a year later. All that was
known to him or to the Council at the time was that English
forces had appeared at the different points on the Canal.
As soon as it was known that we had seized Ismailia the
Council resolved to increase the army. By the enlistment of
42
recruits, who had had no previous training, the numbers were
raised to 100,000 men. After a few days' drill the men were
drafted into the ranks and took their place with the trained
soldiers. When the war broke out 150,000 rifles were in store, so
that they were able at once efficiently to arm the whole force, but
they had equipment and clothing for only 40,000 men. By working
day and night, however, they soon succeeded in completing the
clothing and equipment for the whole 100,000; 11,000 transport
animals were obtained from the “free-will offerings” of the people,
and all the field guns were horsed by the same means, though with
untrained horses. t
The Bedouins wore their own clothing, and were provided with
old muskets and whatever equipment could be given them.
One other element of strength on the side of the Egyptians
must be taken into account. The whole mass of the people are
labourers trained in one particular class of work. Their living
depends upon their skill in constructing embankments for the
damming of water both in the direct course of the canals and also
on dry land, to prepare for the proper flooding of their fields as
Soon as the water is turned on to them. Thus the ruling Council
had at its command, in the then excited condition of the peasantry,
an unlimited supply of skilled labour which they resolved to turn
to the utmost account. The works which they proposed to under-
take would in any other country appear incredible. That they
would construct a series of dams across the Ismailia Sweet-water
Canal to prevent our troops from obtaining water, and that they
would embank the railway to interfere with our using it for
purposes of transport, was from the first to be expected ; but the
scheme of entrenchment which they proposed to carry out for
barring our progress, though it would certainly have failed from its
very extent, is probably without a parallel in improvised fortification.
The design formed, as soon as it was known that the line of our
advance would be from Ismailia upon Cairo, was to erect, in addi-
tion to fortifications at Tel el-Maskhuta, Mahsama, and Kassassin, a
Series of continuous entrenchments, first from Es-Salihiyeh to Tel
el-Kebir, a distance of over 20 miles, and thence to have continued
it southwards to Dar el-Beida, a further distance of 30 miles across
the desert. Dar el-Beida lies just off the old overland route which
ran direct from Suez to Cairo, and the extension thither was
intended to provide against a possible attempt to advance simul-
taneously from Suez and Ismailia. The design will at least give an
idea of the amount of labour at the command of the Egyptians.
# It should be observed that Mr. Wallace, who has travelled much among the
fellaheen since the war, and used great skill in eliciting facts, doubts whether the aid
furnished was really obtained without a rigorous application of the kourbash. --

CHAPTER IX.
THE SEIZURE OF THE LINES OF RAILWAY AND CANAL AS FAR AS
RASSASSIN LOCK.
Advance Guard Action of the 24th August.—Flight of Enemy's
Advanced Force from Telel-Maskhuta on the 25th August.—The
Cavalry capture Mahsama, 25th August.—General Graham is
pushed on to Kassassin, 26th August.
At the end of Chapter VII (page 37) it was stated that on the
23rd August an advance upon Magfar had been determined on,
for reasons there explained. The Orders issued on the 23rd were
as follows:–
“The following movements will take place : — The three
squadrons of Household Cavalry, two guns of N Battery, A Brigade,
Royal Horse Artillery, the detachment of the 19th Hussars,
and the Mounted Infantry, will march independently to-morrow
morning at 4 A.M. for Nefisha, and will place themselves under
the orders of Major-General Graham.
“As soon as Major-General Graham has been joined by the
above troops he will proceed, together with those now under his
command, to Magfar, and take up a position there. The Duke
of Cornwall's Light Infantry will also proceed at the same time to
Nefisha, and on arrival will remain there and protect the station,
the bridge, and the canal, their camp equipage being sent by
rail.
“The camp equipage of the troops moving from here will be
taken by rail, and also that of the force now at Nefisha, to Magfar.”
The battery of artillery had been working late into the night of
the 23rd August at the disembarkation; the division of two guns
ordered to move forward was the whole artillery force as yet ready,
and officers and men had been so worn out by the continuous
labour of disembarking that, in the darkness of the morning of the
24th, it was impossible for even this division to be horsed and
moved off punctually at the appointed hour.
Though the desert on the eastern side of the Delta is generally
“hard” and excellent marching ground, it happens that that

portion of it which lies immediately between Ismailia and
Magfar is relatively “soft,” bad marching ground. Moreover,
banks of exceedingly heavy Sand must be crossed, and there are
about 2 miles of very heavy and soft desert, so that this part
of the route is peculiarly trying for all arms. For artillery almost
the only practicable route is by way of Nefisha, along the railway
embankment; even there the soil is Sandy, and difficult for wheeled
Carriages.
There had not yet been time for any engine to arrive from
Suez, so that the trucks sent by the railway had to be drawn by
mules and Commissariat horses.
The men had received their rations for the 24th. Two days’
rations in addition had been issued to regiments, of which the meat
and most of the groceries and fuel were carried in the regimental
carts, while the men carried the two days' biscuit. fe
Sir Garnet, with a certain portion of his Staff, and General
Willis, with his Staff, accompanied the cavalry to Magfar, in
advance of the infantry.
The cavalry, with Sir Drury Lowe himself in command, moved
along the desert on the right of the railway; the infantry and guns
followed on the railway embankment.
To the east of Magfar our cavalry found the enemy's outposts,
and easily drove them in. The cavalry advanced to a point
nearly half-way between Tel el-Maskhuta and Magfar. The
enemy then began to show infantry in force, and to threaten an
attack.
A few prisoners were captured, from whom it was ascertained
that the Egyptians had constructed a second dam at Tel el-
Maskhuta, and that his infantry were there in force behind en-
trenchments.
In order to appreciate the nature of the decision at which Sir
Garnet now arrived, it is necessary to recall one or two points. In
a general sense, the object of this period of the campaign was to
obtain a secure hold of the railway and canal as far as Kassassin.
This was necessary in order to prevent the enemy from doing these
lines of communication any further damage, to remove the dams
and any other obstruction he might have made, to get rolling-stock
upon the railway, and to begin to accumulate supplies. The
quicker this could be done the shorter would be the length of the
whole campaign, the greater would be its political effect, and the
less the loss of life and the privations entailed upon the troops.
But the special advance on the morning of the 24th August to
Magfar had not been made with the immediate view of securing
by it the communications as far as Kassassin; it had been made
solely for the sake of seizing the low-lying country around
Magfar, in which the first dam had been constructed, and where
the facilities for emptying the canal and depriving Ismailia and
Suez of water were exceptionally great.
The apparent determination of the Egyptians to hold on to
Tel el-Maskhuta offered a new prospect. For about half-an-hour or
more the General carefully watched the enemy. He saw trains
45
arriving at the railway station; he saw formed bodies of Egyptians
show beyond the line of entrenchment. Everything indicated that
they intended to make a serious stand. Few as were the troops
then available, and long as the march would be for any additional
infantry and guns, he saw that that very smallness of force was
likely to tempt the Egyptian Commander to remain where he was,
and therefore to give the English troops from Ismailia time to
come up, with the result of inflicting upon this outlying body of
the enemy a defeat which, if vigorously followed up, would
probably enable us to secure the very line of railway and canal as
far as Kassassin, which it was at this time all-important for us to
get into our hands.
Omelets are not to be made, however, without breaking eggs;
and it was certain that to call upon cavalry just landed from ship-
board, with their horses in no condition for severe exertion, would
place a great strain upon that arm. Moreover, there was consider-
able risk that the troops pushed forward to hold the railway and
canal would have for a day or two to undergo some privations
whilst the dam on the canal was being removed. But it was
certain that, by straining every nerve for their supply, the priva-
tions would be discomforts only, not dangerous to life, and that, on
the whole, the troops would gain by the sacrifice from the
shortening of the period of the campaign. The moral advantage
of So great a first success, and the serious encouragement to the
enemy which would be a consequence if we then fell back when
he was showing a disposition to hold his own, were also important
elements in the question.
Whilst Sir Garnet Wolseley had been examining the enemy's
position, the advanced troops of General Graham's force had
reached Magfar. About 7:30 A.M. orders were sent for the infantry
to continue their march, and for the two guns to move on with
all possible rapidity. About 8:30 AM. Lieutenant Childers was
dispatched to Ismailia with orders for the Guards Brigade and
all cavalry and artillery that might be by the time of the receipt of
the order ready, to push on to the front. Colonel Harrison returned
to Ismailia to make arrangements for the supply of the force now
ordered up. Orders were at the same time sent to the 2nd Battalion
Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, which had been left at
TNefisha, to move on to the front.
On the arrival of General Graham's infantry half a battalion of
the York and Lancaster Regiment were placed between the canal
and railway, the left resting on the canal at the point where the
nearer dam had been constructed 3,200 yards from the enemy's
position on the Tel el-Maskhuta dam. This was the most advanced
body of our troops, the remainder of the force being écheloned from
it to the right. A place was selected for the two-guns under the
shoulder of a sand-hill 500 yards to the rear of the near dam,
600 yards from the canal. The guns were, however, not able to
reach it till nearly 9 o'clock. The right half-battalion York and
Lancaster were in line with the guns extending from the canal
** their left. The marines were still further to the right. On
46
making up his mind that he would now have an opportunity for
fighting an action of some importance to the campaign, Sir Garnet
had ordered General Willis to take command of all the troops, and to
take up a position, pointing out the sand-hills as a place for the guns.

The above was at first the formation. General Willis gave
orders that all were to lie down under cover of the scrub, bushes,
and sand-drifts, and not show or fire without special orders.
The cavalry and Mounted Infantry were considerably further to
the right, about a mile from the canal, watching any attempt of the
enemy to turn our right. At 9 A.M. the enemy opened upon the
cavalry a distant but heavy musketry fire.
The position now held by the enemy was a range of hills which,
in its general relation to the ground occupied by our guns and
infantry, was somewhat like that of the upper seats in a lecture
theatre to the place of the lecturer, the enemy actually holding
chiefly the ground represented by the seats from the lecturer's left
front round to his right, whilst our cavalry manoeuvred on the same
high ground on the enemy's left, threatening and opposing any
attempt to extend further round us on that side.
The position held by our infantry and by the two guns had,
however, the great advantage that it lay amidst Sandy hillocks,
which gave a very effective protection from the enemy's fire, and
made it difficult for the enemy to estimate our strength. Both
in front and rear of our line, throughout that part of it which
looked directly towards Tel el-Maskhuta, the ground was so soft, in
part from deep sand, and in part from marsh, that any shells from
the enemy were sure at once to bury themselves on striking. The
ground, on the other hand, near Tel el-Maskhuta, and from thence
along the line of hills occupied by the enemy, and in part by our
cavalry, was hard gravel, on which shells produced much greater
effect.
The enemy had extended his extreme right beyond the canal,
and soon after 9 A.M. advanced both cavalry, infantry, and artillery
in our immediate front to within less than 2,000 yards of the gun
hillock. This brought him to pretty close quarters with our left,
where stood the York and Lancaster half-battalion, but the steady
fire of these men from a well-protected position checked him at
once ; he did not venture to close, and soon retired on that side,
continuing, however, to extend and advance his left. For nearly an
47
hour the cavalry and Mounted Infantry continued holding in check
the enemy's left on the hard gravelly flats on the hill-tops. The
reports from the cavalry were that as soon as any of the enemy
more bold than the rest ventured to attempt an advance they were
instantly picked off by the men of the Mounted Infantry, who, being
all chosen marksmen, had dismounted, and by their effective shoot-
ing for the time entirely stopped all movement on that side. From
the encircling position occupied by the enemy, the cavalry and
Mounted Infantry were throughout nearly the whole day in much
closer contact with the enemy than any other portion of the force
except the extreme left detachment.
Sir Garnet with his Staff had been standing upon the top of the
hillock above the position occupied by our two guns. At 9:40 A.M. the
enemy opened four guns upon this hillock. They had obtained the
range with so much accuracy that the first shot struck immediately
at the foot of the hillock in front; the second passed a few feet over
the General's head exactly in the right line; a third followed, with
as good an aim, breaking a horse's leg just behind the hill. For a
few shots they continued to fire in the same direction, but as soon
as the horses had been all led behind the hill, so that no con-
spicuous object was presented to them, they turned the guns upon
the Mounted Infantry and cavalry. Soon after 10 they added two
more guns to the four already in action; their practice was so
accurate that the cavalry and Mounted Infantry were ordered to
fall back. The wide plain afforded them little shelter, but fortu-
nately, despite the accuracy of laying of the enemy's guns, their
shells were very inefficient. Their shrapnel, of which they did not
appear to have many, fitted with time fuses, burst high in air, and
were nearly harmless. Most of the shells, fitted only with
percussion fuses, were intended to burst on touching the ground,
but, always on the Sandy soil and on the irrigated ground, usually
even on the gravelly desert, these buried themselves before burst-
ing, so that unless they actually struck man or horse on their first
impact, they produced no effect. Our losses would have been
serious but for this fact.
Hitherto no reply had been made to the Egyptian artillery by
our two guns. Sir Garnet had been anxious to reserve them till
the enemy ventured upon a nearer approach. The one duty of the
small force now engaged was to retain the enemy until reinforce-
ments could arrive, and it was therefore most unadvisable to expend
on distant fire any strength which could be kept for the decisive
moment in case the enemy should venture to close,
But the reports from the cavalry showed that the extreme
accuracy of the enemy’s artillery on that open plain might, despite
the inefficiency of their shells, inflict serious loss unless some relief
were obtained. *
Our range-finders gave a reading” of the distance of the enemy's
* 2,900 yards instead of 1,750 yards. The mirage no doubt made it difficult to use
the range-finders. Subsequently a range taken at the nearest guns gave 1,800 yards.
A trial shot showed this distance to be under 1,400 yards.
48
guns from our own which exaggerated it by more than 1,000
yards, but a couple of trial shots proved that this part of the
Egyptian line was within effective range. At 10:30 A.M. two
rounds of shrapnel, which burst exactly over the enemy's artillery,
at once caused them to withdraw some of their nearer guns beyond
the crest of the hill. They then turned all the fire they could
bring to bear upon our artillery. At first six guns were directed
against our two from that part of the range of hills which fronted
us towards Tel el-Maskhuta.
As their troops arrived by train they gradually worked round
behind the crest on to our extreme right, and at 12 o'clock
opened six fresh guns" from this side, enfilading and in part
taking in reverse the main position held by our infantry and
guns. As this fresh battery was supported by both infantry
and cavalry in considerable numbers, it was impossible for our
cavalry any longer to prevent their holding this ground, but the
cavalry and Mounted Infantry continued to threaten and check
them. Shortly before this new development had taken place, two
Gatlings and a party of sailors from Her Majesty's ship “Orion ”
arrived. Some low-lying sand-hills at right angles to the position
of our infantry gave capital shelter for a new line to be formed by
the sailors and Gatlings fronting the new fire.
General Willis carried out the new dispositions. One of the
Gatlings was placed in the line now formed, and a shelter-pit was
made for it. One of the two Horse Artillery guns was brought up
to a shoulder of the gun hillock, from which it was able to reply to
the flanking battery. The same hillock furnished protection for
the wagons and limbers, which were at first directly exposed to the
fire of the enemy's new battery. Thanks to this and to the fact of
the shells burying themselves before bursting, the result was that,
despite the accuracy of the enemy's artillery, which continued to
cover all exposed places with a heavy shell-fire, the losses were
Small.
The second Gatlingf was sent to the assistance of the part of the
York and Lancashire Regiment on the left flank, between the
canal and railway. It had hardly been placed in position before a
new forward movement of the enemy on that side gave occasion for
its employment. The extreme heat of the day, to which one man
after another succumbed, and the severe labour entailed upon
the gunners in keeping up a constant fire against a very superior
force of artillery in very favourable positions, were the greatest
dangers to which the troops were exposed. For there could be
little doubt that if our guns had been even for a time silenced,
# These new guns were Krupps. The first battery consisted of bronze rifled muzzle-
loaders.
+ Each Gatling was so placed that it could both fire to the front and also flank the
general front of the position. It may be noted as an indication of the difficulties of the
march from Ismailia that both of these Gatlings had been unable to move through the
sand, and that General Willis had sent back two pairs of artillery horses with lasso
harness to drag them up for the last two miles.
49
either because one of the shells which were constantly passing from
both directions just over the heads of gunners, drivers, and horses,
every now and then killing a horse or breaking a leg, had exploded
in a wagon, or if the labour of pushing up the guns after each
recoil through the heavy sand had so exhausted the men as
to prevent their replying promptly to the Egyptian artillery, the
enemy would have acquired a confidence which would have
induced him to try his greatly superior numbers in a close
attack, which we had barely sufficient numbers to meet. That he
did not, under such favourable circumstances as were presented to
him, venture to attack us was an element to be taken into account
throughout the future progress of the campaign. It was clear
that a small defensive force in an entrenched position might, from
this time onward, be safely intrusted with the guardianship of any
position where it was for other reasons not advisable to accumulate
many men.
Meantime, on this day, the longer the enemy delayed the less
was the risk. At 1 o'clock, an hour after the development of the
enemy's encircling movement on our right, the Duke of Cornwall's
Light Infantry from Nefisha made their appearance, and at 2 P.M.
were in position as a reserve. At about a quarter to 3 two shells in
succession took effect in the little battery, killing on the spot two
men and several horses. General Willis then sent some of the Marine
Artillery to the assistance of the division of Horse Artillery, which
had now for five hours sustained the duel against six times their
own number of guns. It would hardly have been possible for the
gunners alone to have borne the strain so long, but the drivers
had volunteered to work at the mechanical labour of pushing
up the guns through the heavy sand, and by a well-arranged
system of bringing from the canal water, which was poured over
the heads of exhausted men, by keeping as many as possible under
the shade of the wagons, and employing only those that were
indispensable, the work had been carried on with cheery alacrity,
and it was not very willingly that the men submitted to accept
the indispensable help of the Marine Artillery, who, from this time,
shared with the Horse Artillery the severest labours of the day.”
The Mounted Infantry also suffered much from want of water.
General Willis sent his Aide-de-camp, Captain James, to them
with water and also with reserve ammunition.
Meantime, a scarcely less trying task had fallen to the lot of the
Brigade of Guards. A march over the 2 miles of heavy road
between Ismailia and Nefisha, difficult at any time, was, during the
burning hours of the midday sun of an exceptionally hot day, a
very serious task indeed. Throughout all the rest of the campaign,
both before and after this, troops were ordered to march in the cool
hours of the early morning or of the late afternoon and evening.
The sudden necessity for taking advantage of the enemy's stand at
Tel el-Maskhuta alone made this severe task imperative. Even for
the troops in presence of the Egyptians the direst enemies all that

day were the Sun and the parching glare of the desert sand. But
at least they had the excitement of actual fighting, and were able
at times to take advantage of any shade that wagons or hillocks
afforded, and they had not during those hours of fierce heat the
additional labour of plodding over sand, burning to the feet and
ankle-deep. Man after Inan during the march was knocked down
by the severity of the strain, and by stroke of the Sun. All who
were physically able pushed on with honest pride and steady dis-
cipline, but it was not till 6:20 P.M. that the march was over, and that
His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught was able to bring up
his brigade to the Support of the troops engaged.
The four remaining guns of N | A R.H.A. arrived with the
Guards, and relieved the two which had been in action all day.
An hour earlier Sir Baker Russell, with 350 sabres of the
4th and 7th Dragoon Guards, just disembarked, had joined the
cavalry, as the enemy was threatening a fresh advance. About
5:15 P.M. the enemy's guns and cavalry came well down the slope
on our right, but whether the troops could not be inducd to
close, or whether the appearance of our fresh cavalry, whose
approach could be clearly seen, caused a change in the orders for
their advance, they did not come within infantry fire.
By the time that the Guards had reached the ground the Sun
had set. The troops bivouacked for the night. The enemy, at
7:30 P.M., threatened a late attack on the left, probably only
intended to cover their own withdrawal into camp. At all events
it was not seriously pressed.
Sir Garnet returned for the night to Ismailia, leaving General
Willis orders “to hold his own during the night and to attack the
enemy” at daybreak the following morning.
After midnight A 1 Battery R.A. (16-prº) joined the force.
It relieved the four guns of N | A on the sand-hill at daylight.
The Division had left the bivouac and were advancing against
the enemy's position when Sir Garnet, with his Staff, reached them
on the following morning, the 25th August, at 5:30 A.M.
General Graham's brigade moved along the canal in attack
formation. The Foot Guards were, with a considerable interval, on
the right of General Graham's brigade, in direct échelon of battalions
from the right. The cavalry, Mounted Infantry, and N | A Battery
R.H.A. to the extreme right front advanced over the ground which
had on the previous day been held by the enemy's extreme left.
The King's Royal Rifles and Marine Light Infantry, who had joined
in the early morning, were in Second line. Two guns of A | 1
were on the right of the Guards; four guns of A 1, starting at
6:15 A.M. from the “gun-hillock” of the previous day, moved
between the two brigades. As soon as our outposts came within
sight of the enemy's position it was evident that he had altogether
abandoned the works. Our infantry advanced towards Tel
el-Maskhuta, while Sir Garnet sent orders to the cavalry and
Horse Artillery to push on at once, “to work well round the
enemy's left and cut off his retreat, if possible.” &
The cavalry horses were scarcely fit for such severe exertion So
51
recently after landing from ship-board. The small Egyptian horses
on which the infantry were mounted, well bred and accustomed to
the country, enabled that little force to cover the ground with
greater ease.
The cavalry manoeuvred according to Sir Garnet's order, but
no formed body of the enemy was seen until the heights over
Mahsama were reached. Then Sir Drury Lowe found himself
opposed by a large force of infantry, with guns in position, and
eight or ten squadrons of cavalry. The artillery had been reinforced
by the two guns from A 1, at first on the right of the Guards. The
shrapnel proved extremely effective, as did also the fire from the
Mounted Infantry, employed strictly in their proper function of
galloping up into effective positions, dismounting, and bringing
close and well-aimed infantry fire to bear. The enemy successively
fell back, and at last the camp at Mahsama was captured, the
Mounted Infantry joining in a final cavalry charge. Seven Krupp
guns, large numbers of Remington rifles, a great quantity of ammu-
nition, stores, camp equipment, and a provision and ammunition
train of Seventy-five railway wagons thus fell into our possession.
At 8 A.M. the infantry had reached Tel el-Maskhuta, and as it
was found that the village on the south side of the canal would
afford shade and cover for the Brigade of Guards, Sir Garnet
decided to encamp them there, sending on General Graham's
brigade, as soon as there had been time for it to rest, towards
Mahsama. The order for this was, however, provisional; it was
to depend on the possibility of supplying the troops at Mahsama
before the two dams at Tel el-Maskhuta and Magfar had been cut
through, and before the great embankment which it was found that
the enemy had constructed across the railway could be removed.
The first order sent to Sir Drury Lowe on his reporting the capture
of Mahsama had been to destroy what he could and fall back on
Telel-Maskhuta, as infantry could not be sent. But, on receiving the
full report of the supplies that had been captured, General Willis
sent on, at 5 P.M., the battalion of marines and Marine Artillery to
support the cavalry. General Willis' orders had been to bring
back the cavalry, but as he was well aware that this was solely
because of the difficulty of feeding them, he, on his own responsi-
bility, made the new dispositions, thus anticipating an order
dispatched on the 26th from Head-quarters, as soon as the news
of the captures was received, to keep the cavalry at Mahsama.
An order to occupy Kassassin Lock with General Graham's brigade,
and to entrench it, was sent from Head-quarters at 8 P.M. on the
25th and received by General Willis at 1:30 A.M." on the 26th
August. General Willis, therefore, sent forward this order to
General Graham, who had already left the camp with the Royal
Marines and Marine Artillery. At the same time the two other
regiments of his brigade were sent forward to him in accordance
With the order. At dawn, therefore, on the 26th August, General
Graham, with the York and Lancaster Regiment, the Duke of
* According to endorsement on the original order.
E 2
52
Cornwall’s Light Infantry, and the Royal Marines, marched to the
cavalry camp at Mahsama. Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert Stewart
had, before General Graham's arrival, reconnoitred the position
around the canal lock at Kassassin, and found it evacuated by
the enemy. It was occupied by a detachment of the 4th Dragoon
Guards at daylight on the 26th, and later in the day General
Graham, with his brigade, moved forward and occupied the position
at the lock.
Thus, by the morning of the 26th August, the whole of the
canal and railway as far as Kassassin were in our hands.
On the 25th an important prisoner had been captured in the
person of Mahmoud Fehmi Pasha. Arabi subsequently attributed
his not having made more serious efforts to dislodge our small
advance-post at Kassassin to the fact, that in consequence of
Mahmoud Fehmi Pasha's capture he could not ascertain what our
forces were. Fehmi had been especially endeavouring to ascertain
this at the moment of his capture.

for Transfer of Highland Brigade to Ismailia-Advance Guard
Action of the 28th August.—Twelve more days of Preparation.
In the year 1807 the greatest of English Commanders was
engaged on an expedition the most daring that had ever been
undertaken by an English Cabinet.* In the result that enterprise,
unfettered by any nice regard for punctilio, secured and brought
back the largest capture ever drawn into English harbours. The
work was accomplished within a time so short that the conqueror
of the Continent, in the zenith of his power, was staggered by the
vigour and rapidity of the stroke. But in England, the “delay ’’
and “sloth’’ which attended the military movements were so
Severely commented on during the course of the contest that the
criticism drew from Sir Arthur Wellesley these words:–“I don’t
doubt their impatience in England; but I don’t think they ever
form in England an accurate estimate of the difficulties attending
ANY military enterprise which they undertake.”f
It would have been surprising if the Egyptian expedition had
escaped the fate thus foretold, which has attended with unbroken
regularity every expedition which has left England from 1807 to
this day.
T. rapidity of the operations which had hitherto taken place
left at once an impression in many quarters in England that “the
army’’ had arrived at Kassassin, that the Egyptian “army” had
been expelled from all that country, and that the moment was
immediately at hand when a final forward movement upon Cairo
was to take place. What had happened was, however, very
different from this, and for the understanding of the campaign it is
necessary to show clearly what had been gained up to this time,
and what remained to be done.
As a result of the events recorded in the last chapter, the
objects of the fourth stage of the operations of the campaign, as
explained in Chapter V (page 23), had been secured. We were now
able to work at the fifth stage, that of removing the obstacles from
canal and railway, repairing the railway, and accumulating stores.

A favourable opportunity had allowed this result to be obtained by
a fraction of the force before the earlier stages were completed.
The disembarkation at Ismailia was by no means finished.
All the troop-ships which left Alexandria on the 19th August were
not, on the 26th August, yet cleared. Of the artillery which was
on the 19th August at Sea, and had not then passed Alexandria,
only a portion had been disembarked. General Hamley's Division
was still at Alexandria. The greater portion of the Indian Contingent
was still at Suez. Brigadier-General Wilkinson, commanding the
Indian cavalry, with one troop 6th Bengal Cavalry and the 13th
Bengal Lancers, had, on the 25th August, marched to Shaluf from
Suez, en route to Ismailia, and on the 26th to a lock on the Fresh-
water Canal 6 miles north of Geneffeh. The remainder of the
Indian cavalry partly landed at Suez on that day, partly came
round by the Canal to Ismailia. The bulk of the Indian force
was ordered to come round to Ismailia through the Suez Canal,
and arrived there on the 27th and 28th August. The repair of the
railway between Suez and Ismailia was not completed till the 27th
August, on which day the first engine brought from Alexandria
came up from Suez, reaching Ismailia in the evening. All the
engines from Alexandria had been sent for disembarkation to Suez,
it being impossible to land them at Ismailia.
It will be seen, therefore, that, rapid as the earlier movements
had been, what had taken place had been by no means an advance
of the army to within striking distance of the position at Tel
el-Kebir, where from the first Sir G. Wolseley had believed that
the decisive action of the war would take place; but that the way
had been made clear for the collection of such rolling-stock on the
railway, and of such transport on the Canal, as would, within a
given time, make it possible to accumulate Supplies at Kassassin
sufficient for the final advance of the army.
The Head-quarters of the army were still at Ismailia, which
was the centre of all the work that was going on, and whence
telegrams to England, Alexandria, Cyprus, Suez, Port Said, and
India were continually being sent, and where replies were daily
received. Telegraphic communication was established as far as
Tel el-Maskhuta, so that in case the forces at the front, and those
placed for their reinforcement, should prove inadequate to the
defence of the line, it was possible at once to increase their
number.
Once more it is necessary to recall to memory the fact,
explained in Chapter V, that the more the mass of the force—the
greater number of eating mouths—could be kept back from the
front, the more rapid would be the accumulation of supplies, and
the quicker, therefore, the final advance. These considerations,
and the necessity of providing working parties for the clearing of
the railway and canal and a defence for the line, determined the
distribution of the troops along the line of railway. The stores,
and in particular the large quantities of forage and fuel captured
at Mahsama and Tel el-Maskhuta, made it possible for the cavalry
to be maintained at the former station, and for the Guards to be
55
left at Tel el-Maskhuta. Thus, there were forces left within sup- Mºp No. 7,
porting distance of the small body which, under General Graham, **
had been pushed on to hold the head of the advance.
Large working parties taken from the troops at Tel el-Maskhuta
were now employed in the unpleasant work of clearing away
the large embankment across the railway, and in removing the
dams at Tel el-Maskhuta and Magfar. This last proved to be an
even more serious task than might have been expected, for the
skilful dam-makers by whom the works had been constructed had
so wattled in reeds, telegraph wire, and other binding material
into the mass of the earthwork that our men, standing in the
muddy canal without any convenient foothold, had the greatest
difficulty in removing the obstacles. It was several days before
either dam could be cut through ; and any attack upon the front,
which made it necessary to withdraw the soldiers, to be ready
either to reinforce General Graham or to prepare for a possible
attempt upon Tel el-Maskhuta itself, still further delayed the work.
Meantime, all stores had to be transhipped at the dam, and at
first, till the dams were cut through, the stores had to be unloaded
at Magſar, the boats lifted across the dam by hand, and reloaded on
the further side. - *
The whole of the arrangements for supply in the field up to the
advanced depôt were in the hands of General Earle, the “General
Officer Commanding the line of communications and base.”
On the 24th he had sent Colonel Harrison with the force which
advanced to Magfar. When Sir Garnet determined to hold the
position, which he occupied on that morning, Colonel Harrison
returned at once to Ismailia, having received authority from
Sir Garnet to ask Sir Beauchamp Seymour to place upon the canal
steam-launches and towing-cutters. This was immediately done ;
so that by the afternoon of the 24th a steam-launch towing three.
boats, containing 1,500 rations of preserved meat and biscuit, and
a ton of oats, had been unloaded at Magſar, which were made
available for the troops at the bivouac that night.
On the morning of the 24th the troops had started from
Ismailia with one day's rations (with the exception of meat) in
the men's haversacks, in addition to what remained of the proper
ration for the 24th. Two days' rations—properly those for the
26th and 27th—were carried by the regimental transport, which
accompanied the march. But the character of this particular
portion of ground had made the work of drawing the regimental
Wheeled carts very difficult for the animals; indeed, wheeled
transport could not here be depended on at all.
In the attempt to enable the draught animals to draw the carts
up to the troops by night time on the 24th, provisions of all sorts,
ammunition, &c., had been thrown out, and were strewn upon the
Course of the march. Many of the carts had broken down, and
Were lying helpless on the ground. It was necessary, therefore, to
issue fresh supplies, irrespective of the rations that had been given
out, and to push up stores, not only for the regular feeding of the
troops, but for the deficiency occasioned by the loss on the march.
56
It was this necessity which had made it indispensable to get
Some steam-launches at once on to the canal; otherwise, as every
Opening of the lock-gates allowed a certain amount of the water to
flow out, and as it was most important by all means to husband
the canal water, it would have been better, and was at first
intended, to trust chiefly to the railway. A line of railway,
200 yards long, had been broken in front of Magfar, so that till
that part was repaired no goods could be pushed up by rail
further than to Magfar. Up to that point, however, wagon-
loads of stores were dragged along the rail by mules. As soon as
the wheeled transport had been put in order after the march,
it had to be employed in conveying the stores as they reached
Magfar to the regiments. An intermediate depôt was thus
necessarily formed at Magſar. The mules were not powerful
enough to drag the wagons satisfactorily, so that their use on the
railway was only a temporary expedient till the engines could be
brought up. Still, by 1:30 A.M. on the morning of the 25th,
that is, some hours before the troops left the bivouac in advance of
Magfar, three trucks loaded with provisions, forage, and camp
equipage, and two trucks loaded with provisions and a field
hospital, reached Magfar.
The transport with regiments, in struggling through the deep
Sand between Ismailia and Magfar, had broken down irregularly;
Some battalions were completely supplied, while others had lost
the greater part of the provisions that had been issued to them ;
there were, as a result, during the early days of the occupation
of Tel el-Maskhuta, deficiencies of supply in particular instances,
but these deficiencies were rather due to the difficulty of providing
beforehand, from a distance, the particular parts of the rations that
had been lost, and supplying the precise thing that was wanted,
than at any time to a general shortness of supply. To put
it another way, the Commissariat supplies available on the spot
were at all times in excess of the general wants of the troops,
so that such privations as the troops at Tel el-Maskhuta during
these days underwent were almost entirely due to the loss of the
Services of a certain number of carts belonging to regiments,
making it difficult for them to draw from the depôt on the spot the
precise stores of which they had need, and for the Commissariat
to judge on what class of stores there would be a particular
call in consequence of the loss of provisions already supplied. At
most the want of such things as were short amounted to incon-
veniences and discomforts only, and were no more than such as
are inevitably incident to any rapid operations in the field. The
case illustrated the extreme importance and value of a thoroughly
effective regimental transport, and the loss which is entailed upon
an army by the regimental transport being even temporarily
unadapted to the conditions under which it is placed.
Practically, however, as a result, the supplies for men and
horses were for several days very short, and, as has been explained,
very often when large quantities arrived there was an excess of
one kind and a deficit of others, s
57
But the most trying circumstance which the rapid movement
had entailed was the absence of tents and camp equipage. These
were pushed on by rail and canal as rapidly as the condition of
both permitted, but for some days the necessity of depending for
chance shade upon the shelter of the trees and village under that
glaring sun called for much endurance on the part of the troops so
employed. It was the price paid for the rapid successes of the
24th and 25th. The tents reached the troops at Tel el-Maskhuta
on the 28th. The valises of the men reached them on the following
day.
Dead men and dead animals of the Egyptian army had fallen
into the canal near Mahsama. There was no remedy for the
impure condition of the water, except that of boiling and filtering,
but, fortunately, the supply of fuel at each station was consider-
able ; and additional fuel obtained from the ships was pushed up
daily, both by canal and rail, so that the chief danger from the bad
water lay in the desire which the great heat produced to drink
directly from the canal.
The disembarkation had so far advanced by the 26th that, in
view of the progress towards the front already made, Sir Garnet
decided that the time had come when General Hamley's Division
might be brought forward from Alexandria. There was a very great
amount of work to be done at Ismailia in disembarking stores of
all kinds. It was as easy to provision them at Ismailia as in
Alexandria. Now, therefore, that a sufficient number of the ships
already arrived had been cleared, it was advisable on every account
to bring round to Ismailia all troops that could be spared from the
defence of Alexandria. At Ismailia they would be immediately
available for the future advance as soon as the time had arrived for
making it.
A telegram from Sir Edward Hamley was received on this day,
which showed that at Alexandria everything was ready and Sir
Edward anxiously awaiting Orders for the move —
“Sir E. Hamley to Chief of the Staff.
“August 26, 1882.
“Can you not tell me what you wish me to do 2 This place
will be in good state of defence this evening, ammunition on the
works placed in magazines, two 7-in, guns ready. Will open fire
with them to-morrow with view of making the enemy show what
guns he has. He is still throwing up new works, as if he expected
to be besieged there. Our inner line of defence, excluding village
of Ramleh, is about 1 mile in length, but not continuous, and well
armed with artillery. I could, therefore, leave three and a-half
battalions for this line, and bring you four, or, if sailors take the
police duties, could bring you five. Shall I take any steps for
embarkation ?
“HAMLEY.”
Map No. 3.
58
A reply to Sir E. Hamley was accordingly sent in the following
terms:—
“Chief of Staff to Sir E. Hamley.
“August 26, 1882.
“It is proposed that you embark for Ismailia with Alison and
Highland Brigade (four battalions), and for the present that Wood
with his brigade (three and a-half battalions), the Derbyshire and
Manchester, two garrison batteries Itoyal Artillery, and Malta
Fencibles remain as garrison of Alexandria. This, with assistance
of navy, is deemed sufficient, but before order is given state con-
cisely your views after consultation with Malet. The police duties
will be performed by the soldiers, and any marines or sailors
landed to be sent to the front. Sir B. Seymour concurs in this.
General Harman is coming to command at Alexandria, and a depôt
of 1,830 men will reach Alexandria about 16th September. We
hope shortly to bring on Wood and his brigade. Use War
Office cypher.”
The telegram was delayed in transmission by the telegraph
clerks at Alexandria, but on the 28th Sir E. Hamley, having
satisfied Sir E. Malet as to the safety of Alexandria, replied that he
was ready to start. He was on the same day ordered to come
round to Ismailia.
On the 26th Sir E. Hamley opened fire from his two 7-in. guns,
to force the enemy to show his strength in artillery. The first
shell dispersed a large working party. The enemy did not reply at
the time, but the following day he began firing from his large gun,
and was silenced by our fire.
There were some occasional skirmishes with marauders, one on
the 24th at Ramleh, one on the 27th at El-Meks.
Sir E. Hamley had received news from the Khedive of the arrival
of considerable numbers of Arabi’s troops opposite to El-Meks:
and, as the drying up of the ground already mentioned had left
this side open to attack, he wished, before leaving Alexandria,
to utilize the Highland Brigade by an attack on the enemy's forces
opposite El-Meks, moving it thither on the night of the 30th,
and attacking just before dawn. On telegraphing to Sir Garnet
Wolseley for permission to do this, he received the following reply:—
“No ; embark as soon as all ready ; desire Sir E. W. to
remain on defensive and risk nothing.”
On the 28th, the Indian Cavalry Brigade having arrived at
Ismailia, a new organization* of the cavalry was made, the whole
cavalry of the force being formed into a Division, of which the
English regiments constituted the 1st Brigade under Sir Baker
Russell, the Indian Cavalry the 2nd Brigade under General
Wilkinson, the whole being under the orders of General Drury
Lowe, with Colonel Herbert Stewart as Assistant Adjutant-
General. On the same day at the front the enemy made their
first attempt to disturb our posts
* See Appendix II, p. 113.

The position at the Lock of Kassassin which General Graham
had been ordered to occupy and entrench was in some respects
unfavourable for defensive purposes by a small force. It was
indispensable to hold it because of the importance of securing the
lock, and thereby the supply of water in the canal and the means
of transport. The lock occurred at a point where the ground on
either bank was low-lying, so that here, as at Magfar, the canal,
if in the hands of the enemy, could have been easily emptied.
Prom this point there rose from the canal towards the north, and in
the direction of Tel el-Kebir westwards, at a distance of from
2,000 to 3,000 yards, a series of hills from 100 to 160 feet high,
forming on this side round the lock an amphitheatre from which
the enemy's artillery could play upon the camp without being
Seriously exposed themselves.
In the rapid previous movements it had been impossible to
drag the artillery wagons through the heavy sand. On the 25th,
during the attack upon Mahsama, N | A Battery R.H.A., in
particular, which had been chiefly engaged, had been obliged to
leave four wagons behind in the desert. The additional horses
were required to assist the guns themselves over the ground.
Immediate steps had been taken at Ismailia to remedy this
difficulty as far as possible. All the available horses from other
batteries that had been landed were sent out into the desert to
restore to the batteries in front their wagons, but it was not till
the 31st August that the last of the wagons was brought in.
Teserve artillery ammunition to replace the ammunition expended,
and to compensate the deficiencies due to the absence of wagons,
had been at once pushed up from Ismailia by canal, but by the
28th August this ammunition had only reached Mahsama,
progress for heavily-loaded boats being very slow because of the
two dams not yet removed, and because of the shallowness of the
Water in the canal.
Hence it happened that on the morning of the 28th August the
two guns with General Graham's force had with them only the
ammunition in their limbers.”
At 9:30 A.M. (28th) the enemy's cavalry were reported as
appearing on the right front on the hills to the north. General
Graham at once signalled to the cavalry at Mahsama placed
there for his support. The Cavalry Brigade turned out, and
remained in communication with General Graham by signal, but
* The force available at the beginning of the day was—
At Kassassin, R.H.A. (40 officers and men and 2 guns of N | A), 4th Dragoon
Guards (15 officers and men), 7th Dragoon Guards (42 officers and men), Duke of
Cornwall's Light Infantry (611 officers and men), York and Lancaster (690 officers
and men), Mounted Infantry (70 officers and men), Royal Marine Artillery (427
officers and men).
At Mahsama, under General Drury Lowe, 1st Cavalry Brigade, under Sir Baker
Russell, Household Cavalry (3 squadrons), 7th Dragoon Guards, 4 guns N | A Battery
R.H.A., 2 guns G | B Battery R.H.A., Royal Marine Light Infantry.
At Tel el-Maskhuta, the 4th Dragoon Guards, 19th Hussars (2 squadrons); 4 guns,
Pll Battery R.A., Brigade of Guards, 3rd Battalion King's Royal Rifles.
Later arrived, West Kent Regiment, I 2 and N | 2 Batteries R.A.

only an ineffectual and distant artillery fire was attempted by
the Egyptians, and by 3 P.M. the enemy was reported as retiring.
The force at Kassassin was therefore withdrawn, having been
much exposed to the Sun, but not to the enemy, and at 4:30
Major-General Drury Lowe similarly withdrew into camp. On
the receipt of the first news of the enemy's threatened attack on
I(assassin, General Willis sent out the cavalry from Tel el-Maskhuta
to reconnoitre, and Majors Molyneux and Hildyard were dispatched
by him to communicate with General Graham, to whom four guns
of D | 1 were also sent as a reinforcement. The mirage was so
great that no orders or information could be transmitted by flashing
signals between Tel el-Maskhuta and Kassassin.
At 4:30 P.M. the enemy at Kassassin began to show signs of
threatening a serious attack, advancing a line of skirmishers, sup-
ported by a heavy fire of artillery.
The dispositions made to meet this attack were as follows:–
The enemy not having any force on the South side of the canal,
a small force of our own, disposed under good cover and protected
by the canal, would be able to forbid to the enemy any approach
on our left along the canal. The low-lying open ground in front
of the camp made this defence the more effective. On this side,
therefore, and in a very favourable piece of ground, General
Graham placed the Marine Artillery, with orders to protect the
north and west of their position with a sweeping fire. About
800 yards east of the position of the Royal Marine Artillery were
placed the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, at right angles to
the Marine Artillery. The York and Lancaster Regiment was
écheloned upon the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry to the right
rear. Three companies only of the Duke of Cornwall's Light
Infantry and two and a-half companies of the York and Lancaster
Regiment were extended in skirmishing order. The railway
embankment afforded cover to the Supports and reserves of the
Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry; those of the York and
Lancaster, withdrawn still further towards the east, were also
placed in favourable ground.
At first both the Duke of Cornwall's and the York and Lan-
caster fronted in a north-westerly direction; afterwards their right
shoulders were brought up so as to place them in a nearly
westerly direction.
The left being thus perfectly protected by the formation taken
up and by the nature of the position, it only remained to secure
the right, which, from the mode in which General Graham had
refused it to the enemy, was the nearest part of the whole force
towards Mahsama, and would be effectually covered by the
advance of the cavalry from that post.
At the same time, as the enemy now evidently threatened a
serious attack, it appeared right to inform General Willis, at
Telel-Maskhuta, that it might be necessary to move to the assailed
point if the enemy should prolong their attack beyond the few
hours of light which now remained to him. When, therefore, the
new dispositions were made, Major Molyneux rode back, by way of
61
Mahsama, to Tel el-Maskhuta, bearing a message to General Lowe,
requesting him to move up the cavalry to cover the right flank,
which had been placed expressly with a view to tempt the enemy
to expose himself to the very effective attack which the cavalry
would be able to deliver if the enemy should venture down into the
lower ground in hopes of turning this extreme flank. A helio-
graphic message was at the Same time sent to the cavalry, desiring
them to turn out and be ready for this movement.
Rather more than half-an-hour later, at about 5:20 P.M.,
General Graham, thinking that the enemy's cavalry were beginning
the forward movement, which would fully expose them to
the cavalry attack, sent his Aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Pirie,
4th Dragoon Guards, with the following order to General Drury
Lowe :—
“Take the cavalry round by our right, under cover of the hill,
and attack the left flank of the enemy's skirmishers.”
Observing that the enemy were receiving reinforcements by
train, General Graham, thinking that the enemy's cavalry might
make an attempt upon his extreme right before our cavalry's move
could be accomplished, warned the reserve company of the York
and Lancaster to be ready to receive the cavalry in line.
Meantime, the shells from the enemy's artillery were chiefly
directed upon a Krupp gun which, taken from the enemy at
Mahsama, had been mounted on a railway truck, and was worked
by a gun detachment of the Marine Artillery, under command of
Captain Tucker. Two fresh Horse Artillery guns, belonging to
G | B Battery R.H.A., had arrived at 3 o'clock, and were there-
fore available, as well as the two of N | A Battery R.H.A., when
the action began again at 4:30; but, like the other two, they had
only their limber ammunition, since, though they had started from
Mahsama with their wagons, it had been impossible to bring
them on with the guns. Their fire became so slow from want
of ammunition as scarcely to relieve the marine detachment with
the Krupp on the railway line from the enemy's fire.
Somewhat later, as the guns were absolutely without ammu-
nition, it was thought better by the officer commanding them for
all these four guns to go back to Mahsama to supply themselves
at the nearest point at which it was possible for them to get ammu-
nition. Meantime, the infantry fight had been steadily and fiercely
maintained.
About 7:15 P.M. the battalion of Royal Marines under Colonel
Jones, and a fresh battery of six 16-pre. A || 1 Battery R.A., Major
Taylor, complete with wagons, arrived on the ground. It was
already too dark for effective fire, and Major Taylor therefore
thought it useless to waste ammunition, and did not fire.
. At the same hour, 7.15 P.M., General Graham, now assured of
his rear and flank by the arrival of these reinforcements, and
thinking that the hour for the cavalry charge, which would of itself
Secure him on his flank, must have come, began a general advance,
in which, as soon as he heard of the actual arrival of the marines 3
he ordered them to join.
62
Meantime, Lieutenant Pirie, who had started at 5:20 P.M. to
carry the order to General Drury Lowe, had not found the cavalry
at the point where General Graham had believed that it was when
he dispatched him. The cavalry had returned into camp much
later than the infantry from a most exhausting day. It seemed
very unadvisable to hurry them out again unless serious danger
threatened, and unless their presence was really necessary. Hence
the cavalry had not moved up towards Kassassin as early as
General Graham had at first expected them. Lieutenant Pirie,
missing the cavalry in the darkness, galloped to find them till his
charger dropped from fatigue, and then, coming upon one of the
batteries which were retiring, obtained a new horse from them.
Lieutenant Pirie knew that General Graham's arrangements had
been made upon the calculation of the coming cavalry charge. In
the course of his ride he had become anxious at not finding the
cavalry where he had expected to find them. The breakdown of
his horse had still further delayed him. According to all evidence
he had been most cool and collected when with his General and
under fire, but anxiety to execute his mission had undoubtedly
excited him. He became before all things anxious to get up
the cavalry to the front as rapidly as possible, and not clearly
distinguishing between the precise message which had been
delivered to him and the sense of anxiety for his General, due to
his not having been able to deliver his message at the hour he had
expected, an anxiety which had been increased by his finding
that the guns were retiring, he at length met General Lowe, who
had in the meantime advanced with the Household Cavalry,
the 7th Dragoon Guards, and four guns of N | A R.H.A. (Major
Borradaile's battery), to a point 4 miles from Kassassin in a north-
westerly direction. Lieutenant Pirie, under these circumstances,
delivered as his message to General Lowe a statement that General
Graham “was only just able to hold his own, and wished General
Drury Lowe to attack the left of the enemy's infantry skirmishers.”
That that was the message which reached General Drury Lowe
is as certain as that it was not the message that was sent by
General Graham. The case illustrates the importance of all such
messages being written and not verbal.
It is quite certain that at the time that Ilieutenant Pirie left
General Graham the feeling of the General and his whole Staff was
one of the greatest confidence, only looking forward with hope to
the enemy's being Tash enough to attempt a serious attack; but
what is also certain is that there were a few camp-followers, and,
as unfortunately must happen in every army, one or two unworthy
soldiers, who, when the first burst of artillery fire had fallen upon
the little force, being in positions which enabled them at the
moment to slip off unobserved, had become panic-stricken, and had
carried a false alarm even as far as Tel el-Maskhuta. That the false
impressions of men, who have not been under fire before, are not a
clear indication of the nature of the actual danger involved is a fact
of which London had a year later a pretty sharp lesson. The
placards announcing that the dead and wounded were being carried
63
in on stretchers from all parts of Woolwich, in consequence of the
rocket bombardment from the explosion of the factory, on Sep-
tember 23, 1883, recorded the impressions of the inhabitants
of an incident in which no single person was hurt by a falling
rocket.
Nevertheless, it was not with a knowledge of the actual state
of things at Kassassin that the cavalry under General Drury Lowe
advanced that evening, but under the impression which had been
conveyed both by Lieutenant Pirie's message and by soon after-
wards meeting the retiring artillery. The Sun had set. A bright
moon was shining. The flashes from the hostile artillery and
infantry afforded some guide to the movement. The advance of the
leading regiment, the 7th Dragoon Guards, was directed on the
evening star, which, as it happened, was just over the position of
the enemy.
The desert haze made the whole outline indistinct. General
Drury Lowe took his cavalry round in a wide sweep to turn the
enemy's left, and in the haze the brigade arrived unperceived close
to the part of the enemy's line which was posted on the high
ground above Kassassin Lock, and about 3,000 yards from it.
The Egyptians themselves say that they had been expecting the
cavalry movement from Mahsama, and had thrown back a portion
of their force to meet it. In any case, they were completely
unprepared for the attack actually delivered against them.
The cavalry advance was made with the 7th Dragoon Guards
in first line, the guns next, and Household Cavalry in second line
right refused.
Suddenly, without being able to gauge the distance, the little force
found itself exposed to the combined artillery and infantry fire of
the enemy, whose guns were firing over the heads of their infantry.
In order to enable the Royal Horse Artillery to fire, General Drury
Lowe ordered the 7th Dragoon Guards to wheel outwards, clear
the front, and re-form immediately in rear of the guns and
Household Cavalry. Orders were at once given by Sir B. Russell,
who was in front of the 7th Dragoon Guards, to clear the front of
the guns; the 7th Dragoon Guards passed off, in column of troops
from both flanks, to the rear of the Household Cavalry. Sir Baker
moved across towards the front of the Life Guards, to seize the
moment for the brigade to charge. The guns came into action,
and fired some effective rounds. The Household Cavalry received
from General Drury Lowe the order to charge. Led by Colonel
Ewart, the three squadrons took the enemy's infantry in front, but
in the direction shown in the sketch, absolutely annihilating,
according to the Egyptians' own account, the whole force they
struck upon. The enemy's guns lay beyond their infantry, which
represented, in fact, the extreme left of the Egyptian line thrown
back to meet the attack.

Sir Simon Lockhart, in the charge and darkness, passed on
beyond the infantry, and becoming separated from his regiment, on
his return saw the Egyptian guns apparently preparing to move
off. A few horsemen who had similarly become separated towards
the right saw Egyptian cavalry on that side of the infantry. But
these cavalry, as soon as our men closed together, threatening to
charge, moved off.
The account given by the Egyptians themselves of this part of
the affair is that their cavalry and ours were engaged with One
another, and that the infantry which had become involved in the
cavalry charge were destroyed. As, however, the Egyptian cavalry
never attempted any charge, and never even allowed our cavalry
to come within charging distance of them, this statement can only
be understood in the sense that the attention of the Egyptian
cavalry was entirely taken up by the movements of ours, and
retired as soon as there was any prospect of a collision.
All evidence, both Egyptian and our own, is concurrent that
the Egyptian artillery was never reached by our cavalry. It is,
however, probable that, had it not been for the darkness and the
impossibility, in an open desert, of obtaining any points to move
on after the artillery had ceased firing, our cavalry could and would
have captured the guns, whose escort had been destroyed, seeing
that the artillery had limbered up and were out of action at the
moment the cavalry charge would have reached them, and that the
7th Dragoon Guards, who had followed in support, were an intact
body fully in hand and available. sh
After the charge the Household Cavalry re-formed on the
ground over which they had moved.
The night had closed in. According to the Egyptian accounts,
the enemy withdrew because of the coming on of night. In any
case, an attack not seriously begun till 4:30 P.M. on a day when the
65
sun set at 6 P.M. never had the slightest prospect of Success, even
if the enemy's troops could have been induced to close.
At 8:15 P.M. an officer of the Life Guards and two troopers, who
had been in the cavalry charge, reached General Graham.
At 8:45 P.M. General Graham ordered a general return to camp.
After sunset General Willis moved the Brigade of Guards
towards Kassassin in support in case their services should be
required. He also sent up ammunition in carts trebly horsed.
The little force at Kassassin, and its supports at Mahsama, had
amply fulfilled the trust reposed in them. The only serious incon-
venience to which it had been exposed had been a deficiency in the
artillery arm, due to the causes already stated, and remedied before
night-fall on that day.
Twelve days followed during which there is little of interest to
record. They represented the period of hardest work during the
campaign. The quay at Ismailia continued to be a scene of busy
activity. Gradually the service of steam-boats along the Canal,
and of trains along the railway, was put in order.
General Sir E. Hamley, with Sir A. Alison's brigade, in
accordance with the arrangements previously made, arrived at
Ismailia on 1st September, at 6 P.M. The men, at Sir E. Hamley's
suggestion, were kept on ship-board, and during the daytime
supplied the necessary fatigue parties for disembarking stores,
loading trains and boats, &c.
The Indian Cavalry Brigade was pushed up to join the remainder
of the cavalry at the front. The Indian Engineers completed the
tramway from the wharf to the railway station.
At last, towards the end of the time, with a regular service of
trains established, and stores in excess of the daily wants of the
troops beginning to accumulate at Kassassin, the period of prepara-
tion drew to a close.
Before leaving it, however, it is necessary to remark that,
whatever difficulties arose at the front in the matter of supplies,
these were in no way due to any defect in the arrangements and
work at the base at Ismailia. Usually in a campaign there is
ample time before the expedition moves forward to organize the
base from which it starts, from which it draws its supplies. In
this case, however, from the necessity of seizing the base itself,
even Sir Owen Lanyon, the Commandant, was landed some time
after the first troops had arrived. Everything had to be organized
during the very weeks of pressure. This was aggravated by the
fact that as the supplies were shipped in England to accompany
the troops, and not, as would usually be the case, sent out on
requisitions from the seat of war, stating what supplies were most
urgently needed, it happened that, in many instances, the stores
most urgently needed were below others, which had to be removed
before these could be reached.
The difficulties could only be overcome, and were overcome, by
the hearty co-operation of the naval officers on the spot with the
officers detailed for work at the base. In addition to the great
assistance afforded by the cordial kindness of Sir Beauchamp
F

Seymour, the army was deeply indebted to the hard work, skill in
organization, and brotherly help of Captain Rawson, R.N., Captain
Brackenbury, R.N., Commander Thompson, Lieutenant Thompson,
Lieutenant Thomson, Lieutenant Hope, and Lieutenant Target.
These officers were engaged night and day in assisting Sir Owen
Lanyon's Staff, Major MacGregor, Major Sartorius, V.C., and the
other officers detailed in the list of that Staff. The absence during
the earlier period of any organized gang of labourers was severely
felt ; the fatigue duties thrown on the soldiers and the necessity
for continuously teaching fresh bodies of men represented an
inconvenience that requires to be noted for future service. The
necessity for these fatigues abstracted from the front a number of
men whom it might have been very inconvenient to detain at the
base.
It deserves to be recorded that when Ismailia was handed over
by the force on its departure no sign of the occupation remained in
any damage whatever to the place, except the loss of two trees,
necessarily cut down to clear the way for the railway.
CHAPTER XI.
THE CONCENTRATION OF THE ARMY ON KASSAsSIN, AND PREPARA-
TIONS FOR ATTACK ON TEL EL-KEBIR.
Orders for Concentration of Army—Attack of Enemy on the 9th
September—Misapprehension which led to it.—Reasons for
not pressing home the beaten Enemy.
By the 7th September various reconnaissances, which had been
carried out during the interval which followed the fight on the
28th August, had brought in a fair amount of information as to the
nature of the enemy's position. On the 7th September the railway
was for the first time reported to be in fair working order, and was
able to carry sufficient stores to provide for the whole army, and to
allow of some surplus. Accordingly, on that day arrangements
Were made for the advance to the front of the whole of Sir A.
Alison's brigade, of the Indian Contingent, and of the remainder of
the artillery, which had hitherto been kept at Ismailia. General
Willis' head-quarters were moved up the same day to Kassassin
preparatory to the general concentration at that station.
On the 8th the final orders for the march to Kassassin, and the
Concentration upon it of the whole army, were issued. The march
Was So arranged that the last troops would arrive at Kassassin in
the course of the 12th September. The 9th was fixed as the day
of the change of head-quarters from Ismailia to Kassassin. Tele-
phonic as well as telegraphic communication had been established
with Kassassin.
At 8 A.M. on the morning of the 9th a telegraphic report of an
attempt of the enemy upon Kassassin reached Ismailia, and a little
after that hour the telephone clerk at Kassassin, communicating
With the clerk at Ismailia, said, “I can hardly hear what you say
from the noise of the heavy artillery fire.”
At 9:15 A.M., that is, as soon as a train could be made ready, Sir
Garnet with his Staff started for the front. At 11 A.M. he reached
Kassassin, and had to ride some miles to catch up the troops, which,
by the time he reached the front, had already pushed back the
enemy to within 5,000 yards of Tel el-Kebir.
This was what had happened. As cattle had been accumulated
at the front, the drivers who had charge of them had allowed stray
animals to wander at some distance from the camp, where in the
“Wady’ (watered valley) green forage could be obtained; some of
these cattle had strayed, and Bedouins prowling round the camp had
picked up and driven off a few of them. In order to gain credit
with Arabi for activity, they represented to him that Kassassin was
only held in very weak force by us, and that they, the Bedouins,
had quite cut offall communication between Kassassin and Ismailia.
Accordingly, an order was issued that, on the morning of the 9th
September, a combined attack should be made from Tel el-Kebir

and Es-Salihiyeh, in order to capture the camp at Kassassin, which
the Egyptian leader looked upon as quite an easy prey, though at
this time, in fact, a force of nearly 8,000 men of all arms was avail-
able at the post, without including the Guards, and the remainder
of the force at Tel el-Maskhuta,” who were within a long march.
The Indian Cavalry Brigade furnished the outposts during the
night of the 8th to 9th September. At 4 A.M. Colonel Pennington,
of the 13th Bengal Lancers, the Field Officer of the day, pushed
forward with patrols as usual to observe the enemy towards
Tel el-Kebir. The reconnoitring party soon observed the enemy
advancing in considerable numbers. Reports were sent back to
Major-General Graham ; these reached him about 6:15 A.M. He
sent to General Drury Lowe desiring him to send a cavalry
regiment to the front. Somewhat later a report of the general
advance of the enemy reached Lieutenant-General Willis. He
immediately sent orders to Major-General Graham to turn out the
infantry brigade.
Major-General Graham, at about the same time that he received
these orders (6:45 A.M.) had had reports sent to him from the
cavalry of the enemy's advance in force. Dispositions for the
troops, in the event of attack on the camp, had been drawn out by
General Willis' orders, and written instructions in conformity with
these were now dispatched by Major-General Graham to each of
the commanding officers.
The “fall-in" for the infantry was sounded at 6:45 A.M. By
7:10 A.M. the troops were formed in the following order of battle:–
On the south bank of the canal the Royal Marine Artillery
and five companies of the West Kent Regiment, with two 25-pr.
guns in position, manned by the 5th Battery, Scottish Division, Royal
Artillery. At first the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry were
also placed on this bank, but they were soon afterwards withdrawn
to the north bank. On the north bank the King's Royal Rifle
Corps had their left resting on the canal. The Royal Marines
took up the line from them, the York and Lancaster being on the
right of the marines, with the right somewhat thrown back. Two
field batteries, 16-prs. (A and D, 1st Brigade R.A.), under Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Schreiber, were at first placed by Lieutenant-
Colonel Nairne, who commanded the artillery, in gun-pits which
had been previously made to the north of the camp, facing the
advance of the enemy from the west. These batteries moved
into position at 7 A.M. The Royal Irish were placed by General
Willis on the right of the guns, with their right thrown back to
show an infantry front against the Salihiyeh force. Immediately
after the beginning of the action they were reinforced by the Duke
of Cornwall's Light Infantry from the south bank.
At 6:45 A.M. General Drury Lowe ordered the whole of the
Indian Cavalry Brigade, of which two troops had been already
dispatched to the front, to turn out and delay the enemy.

At 7:10 A.M., in consequence of orders from General Willis, the
1st Cavalry Brigade, under Sir Baker Russell, also moved out of camp.
With the Indian Brigade moved G | B Battery R.H.A. With
the 1st Brigade was N | A Battery R.H.A.
As the cavalry advanced it became clear that the enemy were
moving from two different directions: in fact, from Tel el-Kebir
eastwards and from Es-Salihiyeh southwards.
The two brigades of cavalry therefore manoeuvred so as to
separate these two bodies, and to support one another. Major-
General Wilkinson, with the Indian Brigade, was employed in
threatening the left of the enemy's force which advanced from
Tel el-Kebir. Sir Baker Russell similarly threatened the right
flank of the force advancing from Es-Salihiyeh.
The Mounted Infantry under Captain Lawrence was, at 6:45 A.M.,
pushed up to the support of the Indian Cavalry Brigade, and
checked the advance of the enemy's artillery by an effective
infantry fire until the arrival of the main body of the infantry
relieved them ; when the little detachment was sent over by
General Drury Lowe to Sir B. Russell’s force. The mountain
battery was employed with the infantry.
In order more effectually to break up the Es-Salihiyeh force if
it should attempt to advance between Mahsamah and Kassassin,
General Willis at once telegraphed to His Royal Highness the
Duke of Connaught, at Tel el-Maskhuta, to move from that station
with the Foot Guards and to endeavour to fall upon the left flank
of the Es-Salihiyeh troops. Major Hildyard was sent to guide
the Duke along the slope of the high ground between Maskhuta
and Kassassin, and to turn north on reaching Mahsama, so as to
take the left of the enemy in flank. #
With the exception of a cavalry skirmish in the early morning,
in which a troop of the Bengal Lancers charged an Egyptian
Squadron and drove them back, the first shot of the action on our side
was fired at 7:15 A.M. from the captured Krupp gun on the railway
manned by the R.M.A., under Captain Tucker. This was directed
upon a train bringing up some of the Egyptian troops. The enemy's
artillery which had already in the early morning fired some distant
shots, a few of which fell in the camp, replied at about 7:30 A.M.
At 7:45 A.M. General Willis ordered a general advance of the
whole force. .
The Egyptians endeavoured at first to overlap the right of the
advancing brigade, but the fire from G | B Battery R.H.A. on the
extreme right, and from the two field batteries which were
withdrawn from the gun-pits, and conformed to the advance of
the infantry brigade, drove them back in disorder before the
advancing infantry could close with them. The York and
Lancaster Regiment were kept back from the front in order to
Watch any attempt to turn the right of the movement, and the
advance was continued with the King's Royal Rifle Corps and
marines in the front line, the Royal Irish écheloned on their right
Tear, and the Duke of Cornwall's and York and Lancaster in
Support.
70
The general advance was continued till 10:30 A.M. The
marines had one opportunity of coming to close quarters with
the enemy, which they seized so effectually, by taking very clever
advantage of some under features of the ground in order to cut off
a portion of the enemy, that they captured two of the enemy's
guns. The King's Royal Rifle Corps at about the same time
captured another gun on the left, and the cavalry on the right a
gun with limbers and horses complete.
By 10:30 A.M. the enemy had fallen back towards Tel el-Kebir,
and the troops had arrived within about 5,000 yards of the fortifi-
cations, whence the enemy poured an effective fire from the guns
in position there. There was every probability that a close pursuit
upon the heels of the retreating troops might have given us
—though with very considerable loss, from an enemy armed with
breech-loaders behind well constructed cover—possession of Tel
el-Kebir itself that day. But such a success would have been
useless. Only a fraction of the army would have been available to
follow up the victory. Arrangements for provisions and supplies
had, of course, not been specially organized for the continued pursuit.
The cavalry could not have advanced directly upon Cairo.
Tel el-Kebir, the desert fortification, might possibly have
fallen, and the troops therein might have been dispersed ; but
the decisive battle of Tel el-Kebir would not have been fought;
the army would not have been placed upon the point of junction
of the various detached portions of the Egyptian army which were
at Kafr ed-Dauar, Es-Salihiyeh, &c. Cairo would not have fallen
as a direct consequence of the premature blow, and it would most
probably have been burnt before we could have reached it. For it
must be noticed that news had reached Sir Garnet of a specific
determination on the part of Arabi to burn Cairo in the event of
his being defeated in the field. There was therefore now this
additional motive for adhering strictly to the plan of campaign
originally drawn up (vide p. 8, last paragraph). A cavalry pursuit
following on the heels of a decisive victory was of the essence of
that plan. By that means, and by that only, could Cairo be saved
from the fate of Alexandria.
For every reason it was better not to pursue the advantage on
that day. Lieutenant-General Willis had therefore, in accordance
with the above view and with Sir Garnet's wishes, halted the troops
before the arrival of the latter. Sir Garnet remained for some time
examining the ground. At 1:30 P.M. the whole of the force returned
to Camp.
The Es-Salihiyeh portion of the Egyptians had fallen back in a
retreat as rapid as that upon Tel el-Kebir, yielding to the fire of
the Horse Artillery N | A (Major Borradaile), and to the successive
turning movements of the 1st Cavalry Brigade.
The Foot Guards marched into camp by about 4 P.M. after a
trying and wearisome march; the rapid retreat of the Egyptians
to Es-Salihiyeh having deprived them of the chance of falling
with destructive effect upon that body of the enemy.

CHAPTER XII.
TEL. EL-KEBIR, 13TH SEPTEMBER.
The few days which followed the action of the 9th September Map No. 8
were occupied by the march to the front, and by the successive (4 sheet”).
arrival in camp of those portions of the Army Corps which
had not yet been concentrated at Kassassin. The last battalion to
arrive was the Royal Irish Fusiliers, which marched into camp
on the afternoon of the 12th September, and did not pitch their
tents, preferring to bivouac for the afternoon.
Each morning before dawn (5:45 A.M.) Sir Garnet, with a
portion of his Staff, was on the undulating ground in front of the
enemy's works at Tel el-Kebir. (We had a strong artillery and
infantry outpost on the high ground above Kassassin.) He noticed
each morning that the outposts and picquets of the enemy were
only sent out beyond their entrenchments at daybreak (5:45 A.M.).
This fact confirmed him in his intention of attacking by night.
Sir Garnet Wolseley had been always a great believer in might
attacks, when possible, as the best means of passing with little loss
over that destructive zone of fire that has to be traversed in front
of works held by well-drilled soldiers armed with breech-loaders.
The ground, unmarked by any disturbing feature, lent itself to the
operation; provided only such precautions could be taken as
should insure that, over the pathless desert, the troops were
properly guided.
Of the advantages of a night march in enabling troops to pass
ground over which, in the daytime, they can only advance
under breech-loader fire, there had, ever since the introduction of
modern weapons, been no question among soldiers. But those
advantages were also known to be compensated, under most
circumstances, by very great corresponding risks. To seize the
advantages and to avoid the risks required a nice adaptation of
the means at hand to the particular case to be dealt with.
In the present instance a night march promised advantages
other than the ordinary one of carrying the troops in Safety over
what was, owing to the absence of all cover, an especially
dangerous zone of fire. In any case, whether by day or night,
Some hours of work and of marching must be undertaken. In
order to attack the long extended line of Tel el-Kebir it was
necessary, for a large portion of the force at least, to be, for many
hours, at a great distance from the only supply of water—the
Canal. In all our movements up to this point we had hugged the
Canal. To be far distant from it during the hours of the Sun's
power, and in battle, to move at all during those hours over the
burning desert, implied for the troops exhaustion and suffering.
The night march offered an escape from these difficulties. Thus it
Was not the darkness only but the coolness of the night hours that
promised advantage. Reconnaissances had shown that the railway
72
and canal had neither of them been seriously injured beyond
Rassassin. Therefore the presence of these lines of movement
greatly facilitated the arrangement for a desert might march. For,
among the necessities of such an operation, one of the first is that
the troops shall be able to move with an equipment as light as
possible, and shall be able to depend upon receiving necessary
Supplies promptly after the victory has been won.
One of the first essentials to a successful night attack—a
knowledge of the ground up to the enemy's position—had been
obtained more perfectly than can often happen in similar cases.
Not only had the reconnaissances of the Indian cavalry and Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Tulloch's earlier reports furnished a great deal of
information, but, taking advantage of the enemy's flight on the
9th September, Colonel Redvers Buller had ridden in a wide
Sweep somewhat round the extreme left of the enemy's lines at
Tel el-Kebir, and had observed the nature of the works and the
general line of their trace. On a previous day he had observed them
carefully from the point marked 8 on the Map to the South of the
canal, that being the nearest high ground to the lines on the
enemy's right which it was possible to reach. Furthermore, from the
front he had taken observations at the point 8. From all these
Sources and their own observations the distance from the point a
on Ninth Hill had been fixed by Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch and
Major Hart, V.C., at 6,660 yards from the work at K, a measure-
ment which will be found to correspond with remarkable exactness
to its position as now determined by the triangulated Survey.
It was therefore possible to estimate with great accuracy the
distance which the troops would have to move over in passing
from Ninth Hill a towards the works. From previous experience
it was calculated that, making all allowances for delays, &c.,
during the night march, the actual rate of progress to the front
over the desert would be about 1 mile per hour, and the time of
starting from Ninth Hill was therefore fixed at 1:30 A.M., to allow
of the troops arriving just before dawn in front of the enemy's
works. Sir Garnet's hope, if everything went well, was that the
infantry would actually reach and assault the enemy's works just
at the first gleam of dawn.
Such were the local conditions which favoured the movement ;
but a consideration of the general scheme of the campaign, as it has
been dwelt upon throughout this history, will show that there were
larger reasons why this particular mode of attack promised advan-
tages not to be secured in any other way. Throughout, Tel el-
Rebir had been looked upon as the gateway to Zagazig and Cairo;
to Zagazig and a few other places as being the points of concen-
tration for the rebel army dispersed throughout Egypt; to Cairo as
the centre and focus of authority.
Now, in order that Tel el-Kebir might thus become the
gateway for the final success of our army, it was necessary—
1st. That the Egyptian force within it should not be merely
manoeuvred out of the position they held, but that that force should
be crushed, broken, and dispersed by actual fighting. -
73
2ndly. That this should take place at the earliest hour of the
morning, in order to give as much daylight as possible for the
cavalry to advance upon Cairo and for the infantry to seize
Zagazig. This advance upon Cairo, to save it from its destined
fate, was at all times only second in Sir Garnet's mind to the
destruction of Arabi's forces in the field, and in every arrangement
made by him it counted for much.
Now, any attempt to turn the position at Tel el-Kebir,
either by the “wady” to the south or by the desert to the north,
could only, even if successful, have resulted in obliging Arabi’s
army, in greater or less confusion, to fall back upon Zagazig or
Cairo. In the cultivated country into which he must thus have
retreated it would have been very difficult to have brought him to
a decisive action, and in falling back he might expect to be joined
by all the other rebel troops throughout Egypt.
The advantages, therefore, on the whole, of this mode of attack,
both in the action itself and in the results to be gained from it,
Were very great. It remained to carry out the purpose in such a
Way as to minimize the difficulties attendant on such a movement.
In the first place, it was necessary to insure as far as possible a
Complete surprise. Therefore, it was necessary to strike at the
first moment when the whole of the troops were available, and
before any knowledge of the completed concentration could have
reached the enemy. On this account the time of the march was
fixed for the night which followed that day on which the last troops
were to arrive in camp. For the same reason no sign of the
intended movement was to be given till after dark.
No hint of the intention to carry out any movement at all was
published in the camp, on the principle, adopted always by Sir
Garnet, that what is known in one camp is sure, sooner or later,
by some means or other, to reach the opposing camp. But on the
morning of the 12th September, before dawn (5:45 A.M.), Sir Garnet
Wolseley himself met the General Officers Commanding Divisions
and Brigades, and rode out with them to the high ground outside
the camp, from which the most prominent points in the Egyptian
Works could be seen. He there personally explained to them the
nature of the intended movement. - -
In every might march there is danger of confusion from the
darkness, and a possibility of panic. Hardly can even the most
experienced troops be altogether trusted to escape these perils
under the unwonted conditions and the weird circumstances
Which night brings with it. On the other hand, all experience
has shown that the successful arrival in the darkness or early
dawn of even a comparatively small body of troops within the
lines of a suddenly roused enemy is the certain forerunner of
Victory. It is not merely a question of the actually catching
asleep the troops who are immediately assailed, but an army
Suddenly attacked within the lines which it had reckoned upon
to Ward off its enemy is in a military sense surprised, even if
a large body of the defenders are roused from sleep before actual
90ntact takes place. The advantage of the first collision is nearly

always with assailants if they are able to close with their enemy.
The élan of movement carries them through stationary foes. The
time when an assailant has to dread reverse is after the first
assault, when his troops, dispersed by the circumstances of action,
are met on ground well known to the defenders, are exposed to the
close fire of inner works, and are attacked by fresh troops prepared
for that purpose. But this counter-attack is precisely that which
is impossible to a surprised enemy. The senior officers are not
with their troops; no one is at hand to give the necessary orders.
The first success of the assailants, instead of only leading to their
dispersion and exposing them to the attack of fresh troops, leads
them instead on to a complete success.
From these, which are the general experiences of war in such
matters, the conclusion to be deduced for the present case was
that it was advisable to have as many independent chances of
success as could be arranged without unduly weakening the attack
delivered at One spot. It was for this reason that, in arranging the
plan of attack, the Commander of the expedition determined to
assign to each of his two Divisional Generals an entirely indepen-
dent sphere of operations. Supposing that any confusion super-
vened in the course of the night, and that one Division failed to
deliver its blow at the right moment, then there was every hope
that the other, wholly unaffected by this fact, would strike its
independent blow, and would secure a success which would give
time for the Division, that had so failed, to recover itself, and to
Serve as a support to the successful wing of the army.
For this reason, them, the two Infantry Divisions were placed at
a very considerable interval from one another, and between them
was concentrated the whole mass of the artillery of the Army Corps.
The Ordinary duty of artillery at the beginning of an action,
that of preparing by a distant fire for the approach of infantry,
necessarily disappears in a night attack. The whole idea of such
an attack is that the infantry approach in the most perfect silence,
and unperceived, to the point to which it is usually the duty of the
artillery to assist their arrival. But there remained a very impor-
tant purpose which the artillery might be called upon to serve.
The experience of the campaign had shown throughout the
immense effect produced by our guns upon the Egyptians; and
it was practically certain that a body of forty-two field-pieces,
having arrived by early dawn close upon the entrenchments of
Tel el-Kebir, would be able to deliver so overpowering an
artillery fire as would cover the rally of either Division if it
required such support, or would, in the worst case, break down
the resistance of some part of the Egyptian entrenchments,
and pave the way for a successful advance, even if the Divisions
had not been able to carry the position in front of them by
a rush. *
The orders for the infantry were in accordance with the well-
established usage of night attacks, to move forward up to the works
themselves without firing a shot. p
In the general aspect of the works of Tel el-Kebir as they
75
appeared from the desert hills above Kassassin, one part stood out
with marked prominence. An observation of the heights, shown
on the plan of the ground, will make it clear that that which was
thus seen must have been some part of the works marked F to K
on the Plan. These stand on ground many feet higher than any of
the rest, and represent the southward part of the Egyptian
entrenchment, after it reaches the top of the hill which rises
from the canal. Observations over the desert are often strangely
confused. The mirage throws up an object into prominence at one
time, which when next looked at may have disappeared altogether.
But there can be no doubt from the various observations taken
that it was the part of the work from H to K which was seen by
Colonel Buller, and was fixed on by Sir Garnet Wolseley as
the most conspicuous object on which to direct the march. On
this part of the line it was determined to direct the attack of the
2nd, Sir E. Hamley's, Division, and it was the more easy to do so,
because by keeping somewhat to the north of the ridge of the
upland ground, and nearly due westward, this part of the works
would be reached.
The powerful 8-gun advanced work which lies in front
of the Egyptian right had been twice seen, once by Lieutenant-
Colonel Tulloch from near the canal, and once by Colonel Buller
from the hill at £8 south of the canal, but on neither occasion
had it been possible to distinguish it from the main body of the
works, and from the front it could not be seen, being altogether
below the crest of the hill. The interior trace of the work was not
known, only very incomplete information having been received
from prisoners, and no information having been obtained from
spies or deserters from within the works. Whether any of the
Egyptian Generals or soldiers were secretly loyal to the Khedive
or not, a matter which we have now no means of knowing, at
any rate we had then no opportunity of ascertaining the fact,
or of entering into any negotiations whatever with them; and
it may be as well to state here, specifically, that all assertions
that any such negotiations had been entered into, or that any
bribe had been received by any Egyptian in Tel el-Kebir, are
baseless inventions, without a shadow of foundation in fact.
All the knowledge we had of the nature of the works was due
to reconnaissances, confirmed to some extent by the reports of
prisoners. - - -
In order to watch the left of the movement, and to protect it
from any counter-attempt of the enemy, the 19th Hussars
(two squadrons) were detailed to follow the ridge of the plateau,
and to be ready for any movement from the broken ground South-
Wards toward the canal. -
The 1st Division was assigned a position on the right, such as
would, in its westward march, bring it to a point in the enemy's
entrenchment which General Willis had had the opportunity
of observing for himself during the course of the fight of the 9th.
He had noticed that the enemy had, in their retreat, chosen,
for returning to their works, a certain portion of their line which,
76
as he therefore concluded, must be the weakest, and he proposed to
direct the march of his troops upon this point.
That there might in the darkness be no confusion when starting,
the lines of direction which, by a due westerly march, would bring
the two Divisions to the two required points in the enemy's line,
were to be marked by posts, which were ordered to be placed by
the Royal Engineers after sunset.
It was obviously necessary to leave very great latitude to each
of the Divisional Generals in the carrying out of the details of a
plan which was based on the independent action of the two
Divisions. The tactical formation which had been intended by Sir
Garnet Wolseley was not strictly adhered to in either Division.
His idea had been to place the troops in an order of battle which
should be adapted to a might movement in this sense, that it should
require no manoeuvring to pass from the formation of march to the
formation of attack. Moreover, in order to avoid, as far as possible,
the mixing up of battalions, sure to follow upon the first stage of a
successful attack, and liable to be aggravated by the confusion
engendered by darkness, he had desired to assign to each battalion
its own separate point of attack, and to leave space between it and
the next. Thus the formation he had intended for the Highland
Brigade, which consisted of the four battalions of Black Watch,
Gordon Highlanders, Cameron Highlanders, and Highland Light
Infantry, would have been this:—
HIGH LAND CAMERON GORD on BLAC K
LIGHT INFTRY HIGHLANDERS HIGHLANDERS WATCH
LEFT HALF BATTº LEFT HALF BATTY LEFT HALF BATTA LEFT HALF BATTN
YIN
< *;| ≤. < *śx º:
RIGHT HAIFBAJTW RIGHT HALF BATTA/ RIGHT HALF BATTN RIGHT HALF BATTN
Pach battalion would thus have had a front of half a battalion
to rush in line directly upon the parapet without firing, and a sup-
porting half battalion of its own regiment immediately behind it.
Each brigade was thus to have been formed. The brigade in
second line of each Division was to act as a reserve for the Division,
while the general course of the action would make the 1st Division,
which from the beginning was destined to have the most ground to
cover before arriving at the Bridge of Tel el-Kebir, and was from
the first known to have a somewhat less difficult part of the parapet
to cross, into a Support for the Division whose course was the most
direct. -
The cavalry and Horse Artillery, placed on the extreme right
with orders to sweep round upon the rear of the position as soon as
the enemy was fully engaged in front, had the double function of
alarming the enemy, when shaken from his defences, as to his
retreat, and thus making a rally impossible, and of being ready for
immediate pursuit to reap the fruits of the victory.
The only respect in which this programme was modified during
77
the march and the attack was that, as the formation intended is not
one laid down in the drill-book, the Brigadiers found it easier
during the difficulties of the night march to adopt established
forms, and accordingly they all deviated from this mode of night
march and attack.”
The Indian Brigade, under Brigadier-General Macpherson, was
to move on the South side of the canal, an hour's march in rear of
the rest of the army, because, as it was to pass along the “wady,” in
which were native villages, it was of great importance that it should
not, by startling them too soon, spread news of the coming attack
before the main army was ready to deliver its onslaught. Placed
as this brigade was, on the line of retreat of the enemy, it was
ready to march direct upon Zagazig after the action, and so Secure
that important junction before the enemy could recover from their
disaster. The Naval Brigade, with the 40-pr. gun moving along the
railway, was to keep on the same level with and support the Indian
Brigade.
It has happened in the past that some night attacks have failed
in consequence of the attacking troops meeting on their route
cattle, geese, or other animals which have roused the defenders, or
roused inhabitants who have given warning to the enemy. By a
curiously bad logical deduction, a conclusion has been sometimes
drawn from this fact that, therefore, all night attacks are chiefly a
* As the question of this formation is of considerable military interest, it may be
as well to note the formations adopted by the two leading brigades.
It must be noted that nothing whatever is said about either Division having
departed from any “orders ” given. It is of the very essence of such a movement that
no drill formation can be precisely ordered. All that is mentioned is the certain fact
that Sir Garnet contemplated a certain mode of formation as specially adapted to
a night march and attack, and that each leading brigade, acting within the full
discretion given, adopted a different form. In the case of the Highland Brigade,
Sir A. Alison had received orders from Sir E. Hamley to form his brigade “in the
order in which it was to attack ’’ at the assigned post 1,000 yards into the desert from
“Ninth Hill '' along the line of poles. Sir A. Alison had clearly understood Lord
Wolseley’s wish that each battalion should attack in two lines, and that there should be
no change of formation from march to attack formation. With Sir E. Hamley's full
approval each battalion was formed in two lines; the first line consisted of two
companies of the right and two of the left half-battalion; the second line of the same.
Sir Archibald's object was to minimize the mixing up of companies in the attack.
By having each half-battalion with two companies in front and two in support, only the
companies of each half would be mixed when the supports closed on the front.
The order for each half-battalion “to advance in column of double companies”
gave the formation thus sought. Sir Archibald’s brigade moved throughout the
night and attacked in this formation, Sir Archibald's view being, in accordance with
Sir Garnet's, that, in a night attack, any change, even the most trifling, from the order
of march to that of attack means confusion, delay, and loss. Hence, in this brigade,
orders were issued that no battalion or company officer should give any orders till the
parapet had been crossed. .
On the other hand, General Willis advanced with the brigades in the drill-book
formation of “columns of half-battalions at deploying intervals” until the Division
had advanced so far that the leading brigade might have found itself under fire at any
Imoment. Then, as recorded in the text, line was formed, and subsequently the
brigade advanced by fours from the right of companies, re-forming line, and ultimately
attack formation. These different views and experiences appear to be worth recording
in regard to a matter so important to modern war as night attacks, as to which so little
modern experience exists. -
78
matter of chance. An examination of the circumstances and of
the Orders for the night march upon Tel el-Kebir will show that
an altogether different conclusion may be drawn, viz., that the pos-
sibility of meeting dogs, cattle, geese, &c., is an element that has to
be taken into account by a Commander in arranging his plans for
a night march. It was almost as certain that on the night of the
12th September the infantry and cavalry, who moved to the north
of the canal along the desert, would not meet with cattle, geese, or
dogs as that they would not meet with whales. It was absolutely
certain that the Indian Brigade, which moved through the “wady."
to the South of the canal, would meet with animals of all sorts
before reaching the lines; therefore the hour of the march of the
Indian Brigade was fixed accordingly.
The general scheme of the action having been thus explained,
the Orders issued and the formation of the troops shown on the
attached plan will now be intelligible. The orders issued were
as follows:—
“Head-quarters, Kassassin, September 12, 1882.
“The Army Corps will be prepared to march this evening at
5 P.M.
“The men's valises and blankets, and the officers’ light baggage,
will be carried to the nearest point of the railway opposite the
encampment of each corps and battalion, where they will be
stacked alongside the line.
“At 6:15 P.M., but not before that hour, the tents will be struck,
packed, and deposited alongside the valises.
“One non-commissioned officer and two men of each corps and
battalion will remain with the tents and valises.
“After depositing the tents the men will not return to their
Camp, but will be formed up by brigades and marched to the
ground where they will bivouac.
“After sunset no bugles will be sounded until after broad day-
light to morrow.
“The present camp will be left in charge of one troop
19th Hussars (to be detailed by the General Officer Commanding
2nd Division), the head-quarters and remainder of the 1st West
Rent Regiment, except fifty mien, the 24th and 26th Companies
Boyal Engineers, and all details of corps troops.
“These troops will be under the command of Brigadier-General
Nugent, C.R.E.; their tents need not be struck this evening. -
“Each soldier will carry 100 rounds of ammunition, all that
remains of to-day's rations, and to-morrow's full rations (excepting
meat); water-bottles will be filled with cold tea if practicable.
“The regimental transport will be packed with cooking utensils,
two full days’ rations, one day's fuel, butchery, and signalling
implements, and as many blankets and great coats as, can be carried
without overloading.
“The transport will be brigaded at daylight, and follow the
army, keeping along the north side of the railway.
“Water-carts and stretchers will accompany battalions. when
they march out of camp this evening.
79
“Thirty rounds of ammunition per man carried by the baggage
animals will press on at daylight after being brigaded, and will not
remain with the rest of the regimental transport.
“The Mounted Infantry will carry seventy rounds per man, and
must arrange for the carriage of another seventy rounds on pack
animals.
“The Naval Brigade, the Indian Contingent, the cavalry,
artillery, and engineers will conform to the above instructions so
far as they are applicable and practicable.
“The following alterations will be made to-morrow in the
printed ‘redistribution’ of troops:– “
“(a.) The Naval Brigade will be detached from the 1st Brigade,
and will keep with the 40-pr. gun.
“(b) The 1st Royal West Kent Regiment will guard the camp,
except fifty men, who will be the escort to the ammunition column.
The officer commanding this party will report to and receive orders
from Major Hebbert, F Battery 1st Brigade Royal Artillery,
ammunition Column.
“ (c.) The Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry and the 3rd
king's Royal Rifle Corps will form the 4th Brigade, under Colonel
Ashburnham, King's Royal Rifle Corps, and will belong to the
2nd Division.
“ (d.) A Battery 1st Brigade, D Battery 1st Brigade, I Battery
2nd Brigade, N Battery 2nd Brigade, H Battery 1st Brigade,
C Battery 3rd Brigade, and J Battery 3rd Brigade, Royal Artillery,
will form an artillery brigade under the General Officer Com-
manding Royal Artillery.
“(e) G. Battery B Brigade and N Battery A Brigade, Royal
Horse Artillery, will be attached to the cavalry division. -
“2. The positions which the troops will take up for bivouacking
have been pointed out to Generals Commanding.
“Distances will be taken from the 4th Brigade, and the point
d'appui will be the left of the IDuke of Cornwall's Light Infantry,
which will rest on Ninth Hill, where the artillery picquet is now
posted; this point is 2,000 yards north of the railway.
“3. The present outposts, excepting those at Ninth Hill, may be
withdrawn, and from Sunset this evening all orders and arrange-
ments for the protection of the camp will be made under the
direction of the General commanding the lines of communication.”
The attached rough plan of attack was distributed to General
Officers Commanding Divisions and Brigades.

TO THE EDITOR. O TIMES.
Sir, LIt has been brought to my notice that, ,
I made a mis-statement, in my book “Eighty
Years,” recently published, that General Sir
Edward Hamley had published in a monthly
magazine, under the title of “The Suppressed
Despatch,” the reports he wrote as Divisional
General to the Commander-in-Chief, Sir
Garnet Wolseley, on the performances of his
division in the battle of Tel-el-Kebir. The
| reports as reprinted in the “Life of Sir
Edward Hamley,” by Innes Shand, drew
attention to the important part taken in the
| battle by the division under him. In his
opinion sufficient, notice was not taken of this
by Sir Garnet Wolseley in his main dispatch.
I find on reference to the “Life of Sir
Edward Hamley ’’ that the article he wrote
(Nineteenth Century, December, 1882) was
entitled “The Second Division at Tel-el-
Rebir,” and is not identical with the reports
sent to Sir Garnet, Wolseley, although it
recorded the same incidents. The phrase
“The Suppressed Despatch * is used two or
three times in the “Life of Sir Edward
Hanley,” and in the Army and Navy Gazette
at that time, but was never, so far as I know,
used in print, by Sir Edward Hamley himself.
I am anxious to record my error and to make
what, amends I can to so fine a soldier and
writer as Sir Edward Hamley for accusing him
of what, would have been, as I said in my book,
an extraordinary and most improper step on
his part. --
Yours faithfully,
NEVILLE G. LYTTELTON.

Mr. J. R. CLYNES, M.P., speaking at Ilford
on Tuesday, said Mr. Baldwin’s speech in the
House of Commons of Monday was “perhaps
the most audacious evasion of the case
pressed by the Opposition on unemployment
| ºver uttered, and a complacent picture utterly
unlike the real social and industrial facts in
many populous centres.” It ignored the weekly
payment of £2,000,000 which, from various
sources, must be found to maintain the
unemployed under conditions which tended
to ruin large numbers of people, who despaired
of any future useful service. 1ſ there were
real reasons for the Prime Minister’s rosy
description of existing conditions, he had un-
consciously made out a splendid case for

£2,469, and a bonus of 9d. in the pound, against

Total strength:—
Cavalry, 125 officers; 2,660 non-commissioned officers and
Iſle11.
Infantry, 422 officers; 11,702 non-commissioned officers
and men.
Artillery, 87 officers; 2,405 non-commissioned officers
and men.
Total, 634 officers; 16,767 non-commissioned officers and
men. Guns, 61; Gatlings, 6.
The first stage of the movement of the night, that from the camp
to the bivouac on and near “ Ninth Hill,” began soon after dark.
The difficulty in finding the directing posts, which had been set
up by the Engineer officers as guides for the earlier part of the
march, was very great. The night was more than usually dark,
and it was some time before the troops could be placed in the
positions assigned to them. By about 11 P.M. the troops were
all in the places shown in the Sketch. About that hour Sir Garnet
himself rode on to the ground, and went round the whole of the
bivouac. As the sole means of direction depended on the stars,
he assigned to Sir E. Hamley, for the direction of the Highland
Brigade, Lieutenant Rawson, R.N., his own Naval Aide-de-camp,
as a man well accustomed to steer his way by the stars, and
familiar with the desert from having accompanied Sir Garnet in
his many journeyings to and from Ismailia by night.
The short rest of the troops came to an end at 1:30, when
the order to move forward westward was, according to the scheme,
given to each part of the force by its leaders. A series of con-
necting files were, by Sir Garnet's orders, established between the
leading brigades of each Division and those behind them, to insure
their not losing trace of one another in the dark. The strictest
orders were given against Smoking, striking lights, or loud giving of
orders. Silence was strictly enforced.
The Highland Brigade moved off in half-battalion columns of
double companies. The Black Watch on the right, the 1st Bat-
talion Gordon Highlanders next, the 1st Battalion Cameron High-
landers, with the 2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry, on the
left. The right company of the Cameron Highlanders was the
Company of direction. The guide of that company was therefore
placed under the orders of Lieutenant Rawson, R.N. In the
observations that had been made, in the early morning recon-
halSSances, stars had been observed which would stand nearly over
the position of Tel el-Kebir, but clouds continually obscured
Thost of the stars at one time or another; the North Star and
Little Bear alone remaining, nearly all through the night, visible.
It was therefore only possible to take up successive stars, which
*Pºeared to be directly in front when the North Star was on the
right hand. The artilléry moving between the Brigade of Guards
*nd Colonel Ashburnham's brigade, with the long front presented
G
82
by its forty-two guns,” were constantly through the night aligned
by Colonel Goodenough himself on the North Star. From the
direction shown on the desert by the wheel-tracks, it would seem -
(vide Plan) that the guns somewhat drifted away northwards from
the Highland Brigade, General Willis himself directed the march
of his own Division, and succeeded in steering them upon the
part of the enemy's position which he had noted as the weakest
during the combat of the 9th September. The march, how-
ever, of the 1st Division was in fact slower than that of the 2nd.
It had been originally supposed that they would strike the
trench rather earlier than the 2nd, because the Egyptian line of
entrenchment trends forward towards its left, but in the uncertainty
of night, the delays in the movement of this Division were greater
than in the other.f The leading brigade of the 1st Division
advanced at first in “columns of half-battalions.”: After advancing
for an hour and a-half the brigade was halted for twenty minutes,
and at an hour, put by General Graham at 3 A.M., and by General
Willis at 4 A.M., it was deployed into line, because General Willis
then calculated that it might be under fire at any moment. It So
advanced, not without great difficulty and many delays. After
Some experience of these, and at General Graham's suggestion,
the advance was continued by fours from the right of companies.
Various incidents occurred which illustrated the difficulty of such
a movement, and the consequent necessity of careful management
in detail, and of effective discipline and organization, in order to
accomplish it successfully.
It is impossible adequately to convey an impression of the

t General Willis attributes the fact that his Division arrived at the trenches later
than the other to this, that the direction taken by the guns, “due west,” tended
relatively to the required line to throw the right too much back, so that the lst Division,
aligned on the guns, was yet further distant from the trenches. As, in fact, the
direction taken was somewhat north of west, this would tend still further to throw back
the right, and, therefore, General Willis’ Division.
f According to the analogy of the drill of all other armies and of all other arms
of our own Service this should be called, “line of half-battalion columns of companies
at deploying intervals.”
83
absolute silence which prevailed, and of the entire absence of any
indication of the existence of a moving army at only a few yards
from each of the columns. Staff officers sent with orders to any
part of the force had to move into a silent darkness—to steer their
way by a general knowledge of the direction of the particular
brigade to which they were sent—return again into a silent void
and make their way back as best they might by a similar attempt
to strike a general direction. Sound or sight at 100 yards from
any column there was none, save of the desert and the stars.
Hence the tendency to exaggerate the importance of any sounds
that Suddenly struck upon the ear was great. More than once the
movement of a few mounted men of the Head-quarters up to some
of the columns was mistaken for an oncoming movement of
cavalry, and, in one instance in particular, it was only the careful
watchfulness of officers, and the steady discipline of the men, that
saved Sir Garnet himself and his whole Staff from being received
with a volley by a brigade at the bivouac, roused from sleep by the
Sudden Sound of horses’ feet, and prepared for a supposed attack of
Bedouins.
Under such circumstances it is not surprising that rumours
spread that the movement had been watched throughout the night
by Bedouin horsemen, who retired before us, and carried notice of
the coming force into the lines of the Egyptians. We now know
for certain that nothing of the kind happened. No notice had
reached the Egyptians of the movement of the force, or of the
Coming attack.
During all that night, according to Turkish and Egyptian
customs, the portion of the army detailed for the defence of the
parapets and for the artillery batteries were lying in the trenches,
with their arms beside them, and with an ample store of ammuni-
tion disposed ready for use. Bedouins had been detailed to remain
Outside the entrenchments as an outlook, and some cavalry appear
to have been stationed on the ground between the advanced work
On the Egyptian right and the main line of entrenchment. But
neither of these moved from the near neighbourhood of the en-
trenchments themselves, and they sent in no report.
After marching for about an hour and three-quarters the
Highland Brigade halted and lay down for twenty minutes, in
accordance with the orders for the night, in order to refresh the men.
As all orders were given only in a low tone, and passed on from
Company to company and battalion to battalion, the Order to halt
did not at onée reach the outer flanks. The consequence was that,
as the flanks continued to step out, while touch was maintained with
the centre, the flanks lost their direction, and circled round so that
the brigade halted in a crescent-shape formation. When the order to
advance was again given, the flank battalions, supposing themselves
to be moving still in the old direction, advanced directly to their
front. The result was that the flank battalions almost met in front
of the centre. As soon as this was perceived, the brigade was
halted, and Sir A. Alison personally placed the company of direc-
tion upon the true line with the help of Lieutenant Rawson's

observations. The other companies of the Cameron Highlanders
were carefully formed upon it, and the other battalions were then
gradually and successively drawn back and reformed upon the
proper alignment, so that the brigade resumed its march in perfect.
order. This operation took about five and twenty minutes.
Our Cavalry Division did not leave camp with the rest of the
Army Corps. This arrangement was made in order not to confuse
the movement of the infantry, and, in marching to their position
on the extreme right of the line, the cavalry were, with the same
motive, ordered not to follow the line of march which had been
taken by the infantry. Brigader-General Wilkinson, who com-
manded the Indian Cavalry Brigade, had had charge of the out-
posts at Kassassin ever since the arrival of his brigade at that
station. He was therefore well acquainted with the ground
between Kassassin and Tel el-Kebir, and had on that account
been assigned the duty of leading the march on the night of the
12th. He had previously fixed a flagstaff a mile from camp on.
which the march was at first directed in a due northerly direction.
The Division moved off in the following order:—
The 13th Bengal Lancers in front, followed in succession by the
2nd Bengal Cavalry and the 6th Bengal Cavalry.
Then came N i A and G | B Batteries R.H.A., under Colonel
Nairne.
The heavy brigade, with the Mounted Infantry, formed the rear
of the column under Sir B. Russell.
On arriving near the previously fixed flagstaff, which was not
found till after the cavalry had been halted, and could not be seen
at 15 yards distance, the Division formed up.
At 2:15 A.M. the march was resumed in a north-westerly
direction. The whole force moved off in column of troops.
At 3:10 A.M. the cavalry halted and fronted towards the west,
waiting for the sound of the action having begun as their signal for
moving forward, the object for keeping them back till then being to
prevent any chance of disturbing the enemy and giving notice of
the coming attack.
Sir Garnet, with the Head-quarter Staff, had followed the
march of the Highland Brigade, and shortly after the incident
above recorded had occurred, sent orders for the brigade to move
forward to the attack as soon as it was in hand. He had seen the
confusion without knowing the cause.
It was now about 4:35 A.M. A little before this, as it was evident
that we must be nearing the parapet, he had sent another order to
Colonel Ashburnham, who commanded the supporting brigade, to
let his men step out and close up on the brigade in front. A
quarter of an hour later, about 4:50, a shaft of light showed itself
in the east, as Sir Garnet was still waiting for the sound of the .
first shots. &
It was still nearly an hour before sunrise. It was impossible to
see watches. This streak of light, therefore, apparently the har-,
binger of coming dawn, caused no small anxiety. If it meant that
day would be immediately upon us, the attack was clearly too late.
85
It is now as certain as anything can be that the shaft of light so seen
was the comet, which on that day was for the first time reported in
Europe, which must therefore have been very conspicuous in the
open desert. This strange streak of light, noticed in all parts of
the field of Tel el-Kebir, without any one at the time being
able to account for it, showed itself always afterwards in the east,
shooting upwards during the hour before the dawn, and fading as
the sun neared the horizon. It was not till after our arrival in
Cairo that the existence of the comet was ascertained, and this
strange light before daybreak on the 13th September thus
accounted for. --
At this moment, when the attack was about to begin, though
neither the Highland Brigade nor General Graham's brigade could
from the nature of the movement know the exact position of the
other, and though the Cavalry Division knew the position of none
of the rest of the force, the whole front of the army to the north of
the canal was in fact in the form of an irregular échelon, with the
left thrown forward thus:–%

Cavalry.
It followed that, when a few minutes later, as the Highlanders
neared the works, and when, after two or three isolated shots had
been discharged, a blaze of fire burst from the whole line of
parapet, though the Highland Brigade was within the distance for
a single charge, the 2nd, the leading Brigade of General Willis'
Division, was some 800 or 900 yards from the parapet, and, the
enemy having been roused, it became necessary for the 2nd Brigade
to pass over a much longer belt of fire outside the parapet than fell
to the lot of the Highland Brigade. On this account also General
Willis judged it necessary to make the assault in the ordinary form
of a day attack, that is, in “attack formation.” This still further
delayed the advance of his Division upon the parapet as compared
With the Highland Brigade. Hence the history of the seizure of
the works for the first ten minutes to a quarter of an hour of the
fight is the history of the advance of the Highland Brigade.
. It was about five minutes to 5 when it became evident that the
rigade was nearing the parapet. The enemy's picquets had just
been dimly perceived at about 150 yards off, when a few dropping
shots were fired by the sentries close upon the works. The order
for bayonets to be fixed without halting, and in perfect silence, was

given by the Brigadier. The Egyptian bugles sounded the alarm.
A shell from a gun came whizzing over the heads of the brigade.
The men advanced for 200 yards, and then, from out the darkness,
the whole course of the entrenchment was lighted up for a mile or
more in length by the flashes of the enemy's rifles, at a range of
150 yards.
The preconcerted signal for storming was at once given. The
long night's silence was at length broken, first by the bugler
sounding the advance, and then by a ringing cheer from the
brigade as the other bugles repeated the signal,” and the High-
landers rushed in two long waves upon the rampart in front. In
the movement the half-battalion double columns had gradually
closed in upon one another, so that the brigade was virtually formed
in two nearly continuous lines. Sir E. Hamley had given orders
during the night that the men should take ample room. This had
tended to close up the intervals. Sir E. Hamley, who was between
these two lines, realizing a necessity which was sure immediately to
arise, checked the advance of the rear companies of the Gordon and
Cameron Highlanders, and formed them into a support. *
It was some time before the troops, struggling up the parapet,
could make good their foothold on the loose sand of the steep
scarps. The enemy's continuous fire told severely upon the
attacking line. Not a shot was fired by the Highlanders till the
summit was reached.
The first man of the Gordon Highlanders to mount the parapet
was Lieutenant Brooks, who fell dead, pierced with four wounds.
The first man of the Cameron Highlanders was Private Donald
Cameron, who, on reaching the summit, fell forward into the
enemy's trench shot through the head.
Gradually the line which had become broken in the struggle to
clamber up formed into groups, in which the men helped one
another up the parapet. The summit was won at different points,
and the groups gathering on the top sprang down upon the
terreplein behind.
The desire of correspondents to give an adequate impression of
the gallantry and dash of the Highland Brigade has resulted in
doing them a great injustice, by representing that the resistance
they met with was virtually nil, and was overcome immediately.
That was by no means the case. The fire was so severe for a con-
siderable time, and the defenders held so resolutely to their ground,
that, even of the two centre regiments, the Gordon and Cameron
Highlanders, though some groups were able very soon to establish a
footing within the works, others on the left were driven back from
the parapets, so much so that Sir A. Alison himself, who had crossed
to lead the advance, was by sheer weight of numbers forced back
over the parapet again. Crossing again, he had his horse shot
* It is a quaint point that, in consequence of the necessary silence of the night up
to this time, the bags of the pipes were not filled, and therefore the pipers could not
now strike up, so that, vigorous as were their efforts, it was not till after the brigade
was well into the enemy's lines that the proper sound of Highland music was heard.
87
just as he had dismounted in order to lead the men, and in joining
the advancing troops was very nearly cut off by a party of Egyptians
falling back from one of the works. Even of those who held their
own on the further side of the parapet, large numbers, exposed to
the enemy's fire on three sides, began to give way. They turned
about again, however, on receiving from Sir E. Hamley the word
of command “Right about turn.” Sir E. Hamley had prepared for
this very event by retaining in hand, and in close formation, parts
of the second line of both regiments. He now, bringing forward
this new support, rallied upon them the broken fragments which
had not been able to make good their attack, and led the whole
mass to the support of those who formed the advancing force on
the further side of the front trench, and from this time forward
Sir Edward himself led the advance.
How completely dispersed such an attack becomes from the
moment when it fairly breaks in upon the enemy may be judged
by this, that a Staff officer reports that there was a moment when
he saw Sir A. Alison himself, absolutely alone, his pistol in
the one hand which previous campaigns have left him, advancing
towards a group of the enemy, probably the party which nearly cut
him off.
He soon joined a mixed group of all the men able to rally
to him. So the fight slowly advanced. Mixed groups of both
Camerons and Gordons, in many cases of Camerons, Gordons, and
Black Watch, under any officer who could lead them on, attacking
first one party of Egyptians and then another till the front rampart
between the two higher batteries at H and K was won. -
Meantime, on the left of the Highland Brigade, the Highland
Light Infantry had struggled in vain to cross the formidable ditch
which marked this part of the line. Not only was the work itself
here of a more considerable profile than in the other part of the
line, but it was occupied by Nubian regiments, who appear to have
fought with great courage. Some portion of them, at all events,
well handled, seem to have reserved their fire, during the time
when darkness made it ineffective, and to have waited till the
assailants were involved in the confusion of the scramble up the
ditch and exposed to the artillery fire, which, aimed at known
distances, now poured from every gun in the entrénchments.
Then, after a volley delivered at close quarters upon the Highland
Light Infantry, the Nubians were led to charge them in a solid
body, driving our men back from the work by the force of formed
against unformed troops. *
On the right the Black Watch had also struck upon the strong
work at K, and were not able to make good their footing as soon as
the centre regiments, which were now pushing on into the
inclosure, exposed, however, to a biting infantry and artillery fire.
Thus the attack of the Highland Brigade had assumed the form
of a wedge, the two flanks held back by the serious nature of

the works they had attacked, the centre pushing on towards
the inner lines of entrenchment. The intense severity of the fire
from the southern inner line of entrenchment H, b making it for
some time impossible to advance over the open ground in the
middle space between the two lines of entrenchment, the first part
of the inner works which it was possible to attempt was the
northern inner face a, Q, c, Here the enemy held out stubbornly,
fighting well.
To preserve the relation between different parts of the action,
it will be necessary for the time to leave the Highlanders still
engaged in this obstinate fight along the line of works a, c, and
endeavouring to make good their advance upon the inner line b, c.
The time of the advance of the Highlanders after the outer line
of works had been carried may be estimated at about 5:20 A.M.
Meantime, on the right, the 2nd Brigade, belonging to General
Willis' division, and under General Graham's command, starting
between ten minutes and a quarter of an hour later than the High-
landers, made its attack upon the trenches, and, about the time that
the Highlanders were beginning to push on to the interior retrench-
ments, carried, almost in a rush, the line of works opposed to
them, General Graham, with his accustomed gallantry, personally
leading the men over the ditch. The enemy, unbroken, fell back
stubbornly resisting, and to no great distance from the parapet.
The Royal Irish advanced on the right flank, taking up successive
positions, admirably selected, and at every successive advance
their lines moved forward with a rush as one man. The profile of
the work in front of the Royal Irish was, as will be seen from the
section, very slight, but that by no means tended to make the fire
delivered from it less direct or effective. The York and Lancaster
Regiment moved forward with a single rush upon the work at M
and the parapet to the right of it. The Royal Irish Fusiliers (of
whom it deserves to be recorded that their march upon the enemy's
lines was in direct continuation of their march from Ismailia, as
they had only arrived on the 12th September in the afternoon at
Rassassin and bivouacked there), attacked with a heavy fire the
south side of the work at M, and entered it from that side, a
little after the York and Lancaster carried it in front.
The Royal Marines advanced without firing a shot up to
within 100 yards of the parapet. The marines seized and held
the parapet, but the enemy stubbornly kept their ground in a
formed body, 50 feet distant.
Time and increasing light had, however, now permitted of new
allies being brought in to the support of the attacking infantry of
both advanced brigades.
On the extreme right the cavalry had advanced at about
440 A.M., at first at a slow walk, soon to be changed into a trot,
and at the moment when the first shots were fired, at 5 minutes
to 5, were about 2,000 yards distant from the parapet. As soon
as the shots were heard the pace was increased to a swinging trot,
and in a very short time the leading part of the division came
under the fire of the work on the Egyptian left at O. The Horse
89
Artillery galloped forward, engaged and silenced this fort, as well
as a field battery which showed itself in the open ground in
rear of the parapet. The cavalry continued their advance, with
the Indian Brigade leading, in line of squadron columns
and at about the time that the two centre regiments of the
Highland Brigade had driven back the Egyptians from the front
parapet, and were beginning to advance into the interior of the
work, and that General Graham's brigade was engaged with the
enemy, who, driven back from the parapet, was still formed and
resisting at various distances within the parapet, the cavalry
passed the line of the entrenchments, and began to Swing round
on to the left rear of the enemy.
Almost at the same time, or very shortly afterwards, Major
Lugard passing the rear of the work at K, and observing that the
gorge was open, while the guns in it were firing upon the rear of
General Graham's brigade, gathered about ten Highlanders and
entering the work at the rear shot down the detachments at their
guns. As soon as the Black Watch had passed the work at K, a
battery of artillery (Major Brancker's) crossed the parapet on the
south side of it, while other guns came into action directly in front
of the parapet. It will be now, therefore, convenient to follow the
movements of the artillery up to this point.
At 10 minutes to 5 A.M., the artillery had been halted, and it
was then found that the Highlanders were partially overlapping
the front of the guns.
Brigadier-General Goodenough, as soon as the enemy's artil-
lery began to open fire, finding that his position was too much on
the sky-line, and that it would be useless to advance further till the
light a little improved, dismounted the drivers, and kept his force for
a few minutes stationary. He then ordered them to mount again
and advanced. The enemy's bullets and shell passed over the
heads of the artillery as they moved forward.
About 5:20 A.M. General Goodenough himself passed the gap to
the south of the work at K which had just been carried by the
Black Watch.
The last part of the artillery advance had been made in an
échelon of brigade divisions from the centre, so that, Colonel
Elton's division being in front and Lieutenant-Colonel Brancker's
battery immediately opposite the gap, this battery was at once
pushed on across the gap.” After a little spade work, one gun
having broken down in the ditch in crossing, Lieutenant-Colonel
Brancker's battery came into action, three guns against the enemy
occupying the parapet H, b, from which the Highlanders were
ºng So Severely, and two guns enfilading the Egyptians to the
north.
About the same time, or shortly before this, Colonel Schreiber's
batteries on the right came into action, outside the ditch, against a
portion of the enemy still holding out to the north of K, at a part
of the line still unassailed by any infantry.
*E*----
* This spot is marked on the Plan by a black line.
90
The enemy's resistance had hitherto been so stubborn that
General Willis had thought it necessary to request Sir Garnet to
send artillery to the support of the attack, and he had actually
dispatched Colonel Gillespie with this request when the first guns,
as above described, arrived to his assistance.*
Some short time before the guns came into action Colonel -
Twynam, the Assistant Adjutant-General of Sir E. Hamley's
division, had ridden off to bring up the King's Royal Rifles to the
support of the Black Watch, and about this time, just as
Lieutenant-Colonel Brancker's battery and Lieutenant-Colonel
Schreiber's division came into action, the Rifles and the Black
Watch, pouring over the parapet, threatened the Egyptians who
still held out to the north of K and south of L.f
The relative positions of the different parts of the army at this
time, between 5:20 and 5:30 A.M., are marked by the fact that when
Brigadier-General Goodenough himself crossed the parapet at the
beginning of that period, the Highlanders, having just carried the
front trench, were moving forward upon the interior line at (a),
and that towards the end of it, the resistance of the so-called
“Abyssinian” Regiment to the north having given way, General
Goodenough stopped the fire of Lieutenant-Colonel Schreiber's guns
which were directed towards the north-west, because the Horse
Artillery with the Cavalry Division were indicated in the distance
by a cloud of dust beyond the enemy's entrenchment, and might be
struck by the shell. Presumably, therefore, the Horse Artillery,
and therefore the Brigade of Indian Cavalry, were at this time
somewhat to the South of the point marked y, to which Colonel
Buller had ridden on the 9th September.
In the next few minutes, that is, soon after 5:30 A.M., all
resistance ceased from the work K northwards. General Graham's
brigade within that time pushed forward from the parapet upon
the formed masses of the enemy beyond. The Egyptians, plied
simultaneously by the Horse Artillery on their left, Lieutenant-
Colonel Brancker's two guns on their right, Lieutenant-Colonel
Schreiber's division on their right front, and threatened by the
cavalry in their left rear, gave way at once before the renewed
attack of the 2nd Brigade, and Soon became a mass of fugitives,
only so far affecting the fight further in that they somewhat
retarded the advance of the Cavalry Division, which now, sweep-
ing through them, and sparing those who threw down their arms,
moved down towards the bridge of Tel el-Kebir.
On the right, then, the next half-hour, or nearly so, from
5:30 to 6 A.M., was occupied thus:–
General Graham's brigade re-formed, and subsequently advanced
* Nevertheless, so curiously contradictory are the impressions of men under con-
ditions of such excitement, that General Graham does not admit that the enemy held
out long enough for either guns or the appearance of the cavalry to have had any effect
on him. I believe the evidence for the narrative as it stands to be unanswerable.
f Part of the Rifles only joined in this attack, the remainder were with the Duke
of Cornwall's Light Infantry joining with the Highland Light Infantry in the attack
on the part of the lines at and to the south of H. *
91
in close order over the high ground towards the bridge. The
Guards Brigade, which, exposed to a fire not the less heavy
because the Guards had been held in reserve, had advanced
steadily upon the parapet, now wheeled towards its left, following
General Graham's brigade. Finally, the cavalry, driving the
fugitives before them, were sweeping downwards upon the enemy's
lines in front of the bridge.
Meantime, on the extreme left of the attack, the Highland Light
Infantry, reinforced by part of Colonel Ashburnham's brigade, again
attacked the work at H, and at a time which may be put at about
5:40 A.M., carried it. They then swept down southwards towards
the canal, carrying the remainder of the works on this side. The
two centre regiments, with parts of the Black Watch from the
captured work at K, were still pushing forward up to and along the
line of entrenchments from a to c, and down the middle of the
line between the two parapets of inner entrenchment. Sir
Edward Hamley during this time had been both leading the men
and giving general directions for the guns to be rendered useless
to the enemy as the successive batteries were seized. Observing
the numbers of Egyptians, who were now flying from the works,
southwards towards the canal, which had been turned, he thought*
it possible that they might discover the Smallness of the numbers of
the Highlanders and attack them from a very dangerous quarter.
IHe therefore formed a part of the Highlanders to their left, but
finding that the masses of Egyptians continued their flight he
decided that the essential matter was to push them. He sent back
Staff officers to form the scattered bodies in rear and bring them
on. He then rode to the advanced troops.
It is important to the understanding of the mutual relation of
the different parts of the fight that the period occupied in this
movement should be carefully noted. At the beginning of it, at
5:20 A.M., the Highland Brigade was exposed to what a Staff
officer describes as “a masty bitter fire,” proceeding from the
whole line of works from H to b, from the artillery in the
works at b and c, and from the infantry in the other trenches.
They broke, as has been seen, into detached parties of from 60
up to 300 of mixed regiments, under various officers, and, replying
to this fire, advanced by rushes, part over the ground between
the two lines of parapets, part along the ditch from a to c. The
Egyptians held out stiffly at each turn of the parapet, embrasure,
and traverse, so that, though the line of attack had taken the main
course of these works in reverse, it required time to dislodge the
enemy, and, as far as the hour can be fixed, it must have been
about 6 o'clock, or a little before that, when the extreme advanced
*——
* It will be obvious, from my using such expressions as “he thought,” &c., that I
am here and in other parts of the narrative indebted to the personal evidence of Sir
R. Hamley. It is the more necessary to make this remark because, from the fact that
Sir Edward was not personally as well known to the brigade as Sir Archibald, though
all who saw them bear testimony to the personal gallantry of both, it is often difficult
to get corroborative evidence of parts of the story, --
92
party of the Highlanders reached the corner of the re-entering angle
of the work beyond c.
It must have been about 5:25 A.M. when the three guns of
Lieutenant-Colonel Brancker's battery, which had first followed
Colonel Goodenough over the parapet south of K, came into action
against the line of parapet from H to b, in order to relieve the High-
landers from the dangerous fire which was poured upon them from
this parapet as they passed on to the attack upon Q and b, c. The
shrapnel fire from these guns at 1,000 yards proved very effective
in silencing the guns and infantry in the parapet from H to b, and
part of the battery was then turned against the work at Q, which
was soon after taken by the Highlanders at the point of the
bayonet.
The fire from this part of the line of parapet near Q had, till it was
thus taken, been in part directed against General Graham's Brigade,
which was at this time (535-540) showing in formed bodies in the
distance beyond the front parapet.
After this the five guns of Lieutenant-Colonel Brancker's battery,
in two half-batteries, one of three and one of two guns, moved
along the outer face of the parapet a, c, coming into action at
various points against such bodies of the enemy as showed any
disposition to stand, sometimes in the parapet itself, sometimes on
the open ground. Support was shortly afterwards given to these
five guns by the whole of Lieutenant-Colonel Straubenzee's, the
left Brigade-division of artillery, which had in the meantime
passed the front parapet.
It will be convenient now to look at the attack as a whole as it
presented itself to the Egyptians. According to Arabi Pasha's own
statement, subsequently given in Ceylon, the force which held
the lines of Tel el-Kebir, 20,000 strong, with 75 guns, was thus
distributed:—”
1 battalion of infantry and 4 guns south of the canal at the
point a, which lies between Tel el-Kebir and Kassassin, about
2,300 yards eastwards of the works of Tel el-Kebir.
2 battalions of infantry, 2,000 Bedouins, 300 cavalry, and
2 guns further south, at Abu Nishaba,ſ on the hill on the edge of
the desert and “wady,” 4% miles from Kassassin. *
3 battalions of infantry and 6 guns at the dam immediately in
rear of the southernmost point of the entrenchments.
1 battalion of infantry and 4 guns at the advanced work in
front of the entrenchments.
10 battalions of infantry and 54 guns occupying the line of the
entrenchments.
3 battalions of infantry, 5 guns, and the remainder of the
cavalry, 1,700, in reserve.
The ten battalions occupying the entrenchment were distributed
as follows:–
* According to the best information we were able to obtain, he had actually
25,000, and, including Bedouins, 30,000; but I give above his own figures.
+ 2 Sandhills at 8. Name does not appear in Survey -
93
6 battalions along the front face south of K.
3 battalions on their left, i.e., to the north; 1 battalion still
further to the left to the extreme north.
All the regimental officers were with their men; the superior
officers slept close behind them.
The Commandant of Tel el-Kebir, Ali Rubi Pasha, slept in
Arabi's camp.
The first notice of the coming attack received by the troops
was the firing and falling back of the outposts. This notice was,
however, virtually nil from the nearness of the outposts to the
parapet. The troops in the trenches were, he says, absolutely sur-
prised, and he knew nothing of the attack till he heard the firing.
Arabi was himself then in bed. By the time he was dressed the
soldiers were in full retreat.
Now, it is a remarkable fact that Arabi Pasha, who can have no
motive for misstatement on such a subject, maintains firmly what
is in itself beyond all question a mistake, that the attack on the
Egyptian left was delivered before the Highland attack on their
centre. It is interesting and not difficult to account for this state-
ment, and it will serve to show the bearing of the different parts of
the attack upon the general result.
The high ground immediately above Arabi's own camp is, as
will be seen from the Map, represented by the line of entrenchment
from d to e. This ground forms the point of view from which
he, the officers with him, and the Commandant of Tel el-Kebir
would necessarily in the first instance view the fight. Now, from
5:30 A.M. up to 6 A.M. what would it have been that Arabi and his
Staff, having still in hand nearly the whole of their cavalry, three
battalions of infantry, and five guns as an intact reserve, would
have seen 2.
On their right, where the Highlanders had attacked, the inner
line from b to c was still holding out and fighting firmly. Pro-
bably the whole of the fight at this point was concealed from
Arabi's position by the Smoke of the action, but if he could have
seen anything of the Highlanders it would have been only small
bodies of men, pushing on along the entrenchments and still kept
partly in check by infantry and artillery fire from his own men. On
the other hand, on the sloping ground in front of him, he must
have seen, as he says that he did see, the cavalry and horse artillery
Sweeping onwards, driving before them a broken mass of fugitives,
and in the distance, on the side of the parapet nearest to him, at
all events before 5:45, the formed mass of the 2nd, and soon after-
wards of the Guards Brigade in full force. Hence it is not difficult
to understand his statement that, as he puts it, the cause of the
defeat was the flight of the left, and that the part attacked by the
Highlanders was only involved in the general confusion when they
were joined by the fugitives from the left. What his statement
does apparently show is that the cause of the retreat of the intact
Teserve, and the general attempt to escape to the station which had
undoubtedly commenced prior to the arrival of the victorious
Highlanders, were due to the advance of the cavalry and horse
94.
artillery, and to the threatening appearance of the 1st Division in
the distance, and not merely to the advance of the small parties of
Highlanders, who towards 6 o'clock began, after their fierce and
gallant fight, to push on beyond the point at c.
Lieutenant-Colonel Brancker's battery, after coming into action
at various points against any of the enemy who showed a dis-
position to resist, finding finally that all opposition to their advance
had given way, pushed on along the ridge towards the point e,
on the right of the advancing Highlanders who were still engaged
in the trenches. Just as the Sun rose, throwing shadows over the
plain for the first time that morning, that is, soon after 5:52 A.M.,
they came into action against trains that were already endeavouring
to withdraw from the Tel el-Kebir station such portion of the
fugitives as were in sufficient order to make good their escape.
Arabi himself was already in full flight, and endeavoured to with-
draw some portion of his intact reserve. General Willis, who had
ridden on with his Staff ahead of his Division, joined, before 6 A.M.,
the party round the battery, with which at this time was also
Brigadier-General Goodenough, commanding the artillery.
The first two trains escaped without being hit, but in the third
some ammunition was exploded and the train stopped. Just at
this moment, however, the Indian Brigade of Cavalry reached a
part of the railway line, and it became necessary to cease further
firing against the trains.
Nearly simultaneously, that is, a little after 6 A.M., the advanced
body of the Highland Brigade, about 200 men of all three regi-
ments, arrived at the point from which the camp, with the mass
of reserves and fugitives struggling to make their escape, appeared
below. Sir E. Hamley was in personal command. Sir A. Alison
was directing his men. The Colonels of both Gordons and
Camerons were present. Sir Garnet, in order to insure the
co-operation of the two brigades, had directed that, when this
point was reached, and what would probably be the main attack
had to be delivered, a halt should be made till General Graham's
brigade was able to co-operate by a flank attack. As, however, it
was now evident that the Egyptians were only endeavouring to
escape, and co-operation in this attack could not be hoped for
in time, Sir E. Hamley decided to pursue at once. He therefore
ordered Sir Archibald to advance upon the camp, and led the men
himself directly through the camp, which they captured, with
tents, baggage, and stores, and upon the bridge and railway station,
where they seized about 100 carriages.” On the towing-path of the
canal beyond the railway station Sir Edward finally halted, checking
the fire of the men on the camels and flying people. **
As soon as the Highlanders made their attack, just before
5 A.M., the advanced work opened its artillery fire, at first generally
upon the plain to the north, but very soon, as the Head-quarters
with their escort formed the most conspicuous body within range,
* Curiously enough, General Willis from his position near the battery did not see
this advance, and is convinced that it did not take place at this time.
95
directed its fire upon them. Sir Garnet sent back the telegraph
troop and led-horses out of range, and remained watching the
progress of the attack, the shells fortunately doing very little
mischief. In a short time the Egyptian cavalry, which had
remained between the advanced work and the parapet, rode
slowly out, and were just visible on the sky-line. As there
was some danger of their threatening the Highland Brigade in
the course of their attack, Sir Garnet ordered the cavalry escort* to
advance against them. The Egyptian cavalry did not wait for
their attack, but disappeared behind the works.
At 5:35, just after the Highlanders had begun their advance into
the interior of the works, the Head-quarters received the order to
mount, and rode forward upon the trenches. The advanced work
continued to follow the movement, sending shell after shell at the
party. Near the trenches Sir Garnet desired Sir John Adye to have
some batteries brought up to silence this work, and those of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Schreiber's division were moved by him, soon after
their previous employment was over, to silence this the last part of
the entrenchments which held out. Taking up a position on the
reverse side of the advanced work, they came into action against it,
and in a very short time caused a magazine to explode, which made
further resistance impossible. The outwork was evacuated, the
defenders making the best of their way towards the canal.
The General, in the meantime, rode forward, and, after speaking
to some of the wounded, reached the bridge at Tel el-Kebir just as
the victorious Highlanders advanced upon it. There he was soon
afterwards joined by the various leaders of divisions from all parts
of the field, and at once gave directions for the further advance.
Before detailing these, however, it will be necessary to follow
the steps of the Indian and Naval Brigades on the south side of
the canal. g
The Indian Contingent, under General Macpherson, was
formed on the canal bank at 2 A.M. on the morning of the
13th September.
It consisted of the following troops:–
Seaforth Highlanders, under Lieutenant-Colonel Stockwell, C.B.,
30 officers, 650 men.
7 || 1 Mountain Battery Royal Artillery, under Major Free,
5 officers, 105 men.
Section of Sappers, under Major Hamilton, 7 officers, 248 men.
20th Native Infantry, under Colonel Rogers, C.B., 5 officers,
268 men.
29th Native Infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Galloway,
6 officers, 182 men.
7th Native Infantry, under Colonel Worsley, 6 officers,
271 men. *
6th Bengal Cavalry, 1 Squadron, 3 officers, 102 men.
Total, 62 officers, 1,826 men.
The Naval Brigade, under Captain Fitzroy, R.N., which moved
* Composed of a squadron of the 19th Hussars.
96
along the line of railway, consisted of 210 blue-jackets, with
6 Gatlings. It was attached to General Macpherson's force. The
Naval Brigade marched on the northern, while the main body of
General Macpherson's infantry advanced along the southern bank,
connection between them being maintained by some pontoons,
under charge of the Royal Engineers. These moving on the canal
kept pace with the Indian and Naval Brigades.
Erom the restricted nature of the ground the advance was
necessarily made in fours. The cavalry followed in rear. The
force had marched about 3 miles when the three warning shots
which preceded the attack of the Highland Brigade were heard.
The brigade continued to move along the towing path, the bank
serving them as a protecting traverse.
About a quarter of an hour after the shots had been heard the
enemy observed the column, and began to shell it, one of the first
shells falling among General Macpherson's Staff.
The Seaforth Highlanders were then pushed forward over the
open ground against the guns, which were protected by some pits,
and covered by trenches with about 400 infantry in them. The
20th Native Infantry at the same time passed round the battery,
taking it in flank. The 7th Native Infantry supported the Seaforth
Highlanders. The 29th Native Infantry supported the 20th.
The mountain battery came into action on the top of the bank
against the guns in the pits, firing at the flashes of the guns. The
Seaforth Highlanders advanced by rushes, firing volleys at intervals;
the Gatlings on the north bank gave most effective support, firing
with great judgment upon the enemy wherever exposed to them.
As soon as the advance had been made close enough to the
work, Brigadier-General Tanner gave Orders to Colonel Stockwell
to fix bayonets and charge. At about 6 A.M. the enemy were
driven from their entrenchments on the South bank, and four guns
were captured by the Seaforth Highlanders,
The 20th Bengal Infantry had, in the meantime, advanced
across the irrigated fields against a native village, which was held
in force by the enemy. , Colonel Rogers, under Brigadier-General
Tanner's orders, carried the village by a bayonet charge.
The whole line advanced, driving the broken enemy before
them, and capturing his guns. The squadron of the 6th Bengal
Cavalry was pushed forward in pursuit, to cut off the fugitives who
were now pouring into the village of Tel el-Kebir from the
northern side over the bridge.
Soon after 7 A.M. General Macpherson reported to Sir Garnet
on the bridge the complete success of the advance of his brigade.
The total return of Ordnance captured in the action will be
found in Appendix VI (p. 194). It amounted to fifty-eight guns
in all. Of these, General Macpherson's force on the south side
captured eight Krupp field guns and four 7-pr rifled bronze guns,
taken in the pits.
The enemy's rout was now complete. The record of the
pursuit requires a short chapter to itself.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE PURSUIT AFTER TEL EL-KEBIR, - THE RIDE TO CAIRO.—
SURRENDER OF THE REBEL FORCES AND END OF THE WAR,
—SIR A, ALISON AT TANTA.
Before leaving the bridge at Tel el-Kebir Sir Garnet issued
the following orders. The cavalry were directed to continue
their pursuit, and advance upon Cairo with all possible rapidity,
to save it, if possible, from the destruction intended by Arabi Pasha.
The Indian Contingent was to push on to Zagazig, and so break the
connection between the various portions of the Egyptian army
dispersed throughout the Delta.
General Wilkinson, with the Indian Cavalry Brigade and
Mounted Infantry, marched by the north side of the canal to
Aabasa Lock, and there crossed, moving thence along the western
side of the canal upon Belbeis. General Drury Lowe himself,
with the Horse Artillery and 1st Brigade on the eastern side of
the canal, was delayed throughout the earlier part of the day by
the difficulty of getting the guns over the narrow bridges across
Some of the smaller canals. As a consequence General Wilkin-
son's force reached Belbeis some hours before the heavy brigade.
He seized the place about noon on the 13th. Very little resistance
of any kind had been met with, only a few stragglers at one or two
points venturing to oppose the march. Captain Watson, R.E., who
had accompanied General Wilkinson, on seizing the telegraph
office, found messages passing from Arabi Pasha to the Officer in
Command at Es-Salihiyeh ordering the Egyptians there stationed to
be sent at once to Mansura by train. The object was undoubtedly
to arrange for concentrating these troops with those from Damietta
either by sending these to Damietta itself, or by bringing all the
forces available round by Tanta and Benha upon Cairo. Arabi
himself had only arrived at Inshas, the next station towards Cairo
on the railway. Arabi's telegrams contained requests for informa-
tion as to the movements of the English.
Thus the rapid pursuit of the cavalry had already disconcerted
the attempt of the Egyptian Commander to gather fresh forces for
action. Another important advantage was immediately gained by
the opening of the lock sluices so as to send a fresh supply
of water down to Tel el-Kebir. The Indian Cavalry Brigade
halted at Belbeis for the day. Between 4 and 5 P.M. General
Drury Lowe and Sir Baker Russell, with the 4th Dragoon Guards,
arrived. The remainder of the heavy brigade and all the guns
Were still delayed by the heavy sand and the difficulties of the
Passage of the branch canals,
At 4:30 A.M. on the 14th September the advance was resumed.
The column which thus started under the command of General
EI

Drury Lowe consisted of the 2nd Bengal Cavalry, part of the
13th Bengal Cavalry, the 6th Bengal Cavalry, the 4th Dragoon
Guards, and the Mounted Infantry. The cavalry moved now on
firm desert, good marching ground, on the east of the canal. On
the other side of the canal the inhabitants crowded down to
the banks, and received with acclamations of pleasure a Proclama-
tion previously prepared in Arabic, which was distributed to them,
In it Sir Garnet informed them that the war was over, and that
peace had recommenced in Egypt. The cries of “Aman Aman l’
(“Peace Peace l’) resounded from the banks, and were repeated
from village to village. As the cavalry advanced further they
found that the news of the Proclamation had preceded them, and
the inhabitants of all the villages came out to meet them with
white flags, crying “Aman Aman l’’
At Es-Siriakus, in order to keep still in the desert, it was
necessary to turn almost due east and bend round the stretch
of marshy ground shown on the map. The advantages offered by
the desert ground, both as to the facilities of march and in case of
necessity for cavalry action, made it well worth while to make this
détour. Hitherto a detachment had moved along the western side
of the canal, both in Order to retain complete command of both banks
and in order more easily to establish communication with the people.
Prom Es-Siriakus onwards, however, in order not to separate the
force too widely, it became necessary to draw in this detachment,
and the whole of the advanced body of the cavalry moved together.
The nearer the approach to Cairo the more demonstrative
became the expressions of pleasure of the inhabitants. To the cries
of “Aman l’ from the men was now added the appearance of the
women on the house-tops raising the wedding song of joy, “Ez
Zagharieh.” Still, as nothing was known of the state of things in
Cairo, General Lowe thought it prudent to halt his force whilst
still some miles distant from the Abbassiyeh barracks, which on the
eastern side form a kind of outpost to the capital. Thence he
sent forward Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert Stewart, with a detach-
ment of about fifty men, composed partly of the 4th Dragoon
Guards, and partly of the Indian cavalry, with Captain Watson as
Arabic interpreter, and two Egyptian officers, Dhulier Bey and
Hussein Effendi, who had accompanied him throughout the march.
The little party as it approached the barracks saw before them
large numbers of Egyptian troops. Soon, from among these, a
squadron of cavalry advanced towards them, each trooper having a
white flag attached to his carbine. It was 4:15 P.M. (14th Sep-
tember). Evidently the Egyptians intended to capitulate.
Everything depended upon not allowing the Egyptians to
become aware of the smallness of the body of troops actually
present. It was with this object that the cavalry were now and
throughout the night kept in the desert, So that the fact of the
arrival of forces was known to the Egyptian leaders and troops,
but numbers could not be estimated by the Egyptians.
Colonel Herbert Stewart sent for the officer commanding at
Abbassiyeh, and received his promise to Surrender the barracks and

<& The English cavalry still remained about 2 miles outside. The

must be given up, and the Citadel surrendered that might. The

cavalry should, with the exception of the force intended to occupy
the Citadel, bivouac in the desert. The horses were watered at
the barracks, where General Drury Lowe himself slept, a dozen
men of the 4th Dragoons being placed there as a guard for the
reception of Arabi as a prisoner.
At 8 P.M. Captain Watson, R.E., was dispatched to the Citadel in
command of a party, consisting of two squadrons of the 4th Dragoon
Guards (5 officers, 84 men), and a party of Mounted Infantry
(4 officers, 54 men), under command of Captain Lawrence. Several
Egyptian officers accompanied the party. Avoiding the city, the

L00
long past midnight, the defiling of the Egyptians, under the
flickering glare of lanterns, into the dark streets went on. As the
last troops were leaving, the guards were quietly relieved by the
little party of English soldiers. Captain Lawrence, of the Mounted
Infantry, was left in charge of the Citadel for the night.
In the middle of the night a frightful noise arose in the
Citadel. The prisoners, of whom there were some hundreds in
the prisons, having heard that the soldiers were gone, had begun to
break their chains and attempt to escape. They were not without
some difficulty secured for the night, till their cases could be
investigated.
In the course of the evening of 14th September 10,000 men,
a mixed force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, piled their arms in
an assigned place in each barrack, and the men were allowed to
return to their homes. By soon after daylight on the morning
of the 15th the men were streaming out of the various barracks in
all directions.
At about 10:45 P.M. on the evening of the 14th Arabi Pasha
and Toulba Pasha came in and gave up their swords at Abbassiyeh.
To return to the Indian Contingent. On the 13th it had
pushed on to Zagazig. Major-General Macpherson had been
strengthened by the attachment to his Contingent of H | I Battery
R.A. Starting from Tel el-Kebir at 7:40 A.M., the 6th Bengal
Cavalry formed the advanced guard, the Seaforth Highlanders led
the Infantry Brigade. At Aabasa, which was reached at 10 A.M., it
was found that the sluices of the canal had been opened, and
that the water was escaping from the canal. Villagers were
collected, under the orders of Colonel Brown, R.E., and the sluice
was closed. Colonel Moore, A.Q.M.G., had also collected some
boats at Aabasa, and the column thus passed the canal, the Staff
and cavalry fording it. The column marched again at 12:10 P.M.
by the bank of the Wady Canal to the railway. At the point
where the railway line was reached it was found better to move
along the embankment. A most curious scene followed. The
fugitives from Tel el-Kebir had been overtaken by the rapid
march, and were streaming along the banks of the canal. Numbers
of them still carried arms, but had evidently not the least notion of
fighting. To have forced all of them to lay down their arms would
have entailed a long delay, and it was all-important to reach
Zagazig as early as possible. Major-General Macpherson therefore
judged it better to push on with the head of the column as rapidly
as possible, ignoring the armed fugitives. The result was that the
two armed and hostile bodies, the One in Orderly march, the other
in disorderly flight, streamed on side by side, the one on the
railway embankment, the other along the canal bank, both heading
towards Zagazig. Many of the fugitives, as the Contingent passed
them, were gradually disarmed by Colonel Moore, but the leading
files continued nearly into Zagazig side by side with the armed
Egyptians.
At 3:20 P.M. General Macpherson pushed on at a trot with a
squadron of the 6th Cavalry, and reached Zagazig at 4:10 P.M. A
101
running cavalry fight followed with the trains, in which fugitives
were endeavouring to escape. The driver of the first train was shot
by an officer of the Engineers (Lieutenant Burn-Murdoch). An
engine leaving Zagazig in the confusion ran into a train coming
from Benha, effectually blocking the line.
Ten engines and over 100 carriages were captured, so that it
was possible at Once to open up railway communication with
Tel el-Kebir.
The telegraph station, as usual, proved one of the most valuable
acquisitions. Messages containing all particulars of the enemy's
efforts to gather force were seized. A telegram was at once sent to
Cairo by General Macpherson, announcing the complete defeat of
Arabi, and the fact that the British troops had occupied Zagazig. At
the moment General Macpherson was in Zagazig with only twenty
Sabres. The telegrams seized at the office disclosed the fact that
three trains of soldiers were at once to arrive from Es-Salihiyeh. In
order to gain time a telegram was dispatched to the second station
towards Es-Salihiyeh (Abu Kebir) in the name of the station-
master at Zagazig, in which the station-master at Abu Kebir was
warned of an imaginary obstruction on the line towards Zagazig,
in consequence of which he was desired to detain the troops at Abu
Rebir till the line was reported clear. Meantime, a train was sent
back down the line to bring in the Seaforth Highlanders, and
another train, with a gang of platelayers, was sent 3 miles out
towards Abu-Kebir to remove a couple of rails.
By train or on foot the infantry reached Zagazig in the course
of the night, having covered 30 miles and fought an action in
sixteen hours and a-half.
At 9 P.M. (13th) General Macpherson received the following
reply to his telegram —
“From the Commission named by the Egyptian Nation at Cairo to
the Commander-in-Chief of Her Britannic Majesty's Forces at
C& Żagazig.
“The whole Egyptian Nation present their gratitude at the
manner your Government have employed in Supporting His High-
ness Tewfik Pasha, our Khedive; therefore the Nation in general
acknowledge your kindness, and beg, in the name of the Nation,
to stop any further action on your part until you receive orders
from His Highness the Khedive. The army having laid their sub-
mission to His Gracious Highness the Khedive, we are leaving
immediately by train to lay before him the submission of the
army, and beg the favour of any answer to us at Kafr ed-Dauar.
“RAOUR PASHA.
“ALI ROUBI PASHA.
“BOUTROUS PASHA.”
Major-General Wilkinson, at 4 A.M. on the 14th September, left
the force under General Drury Lowe to open communication with
102
Zagazig; but not being able to effect that purpose, he followed
Major-General Lowe with two squadrons (one of the 6th Bengal
Cavalry and one of the 13th Bengal Lancers), and not being aware
that orders had been given for no troops to enter Cairo on the
night of the 14th, passed on towards the “Rond Pont de Faghalla,”
and by 7 A.M. next morning (15th September) was in possession of
the central railway station and telegraph office.
On the 14th September orders were issued for Lieutenant-
General Willis to remain in command at Tel el-Kebir with the
2nd Brigade, the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, the part of
the 19th Hussars not employed on the line of communications or
on escort, and two batteries of artillery.
Three battalions of the Highland Brigade which had marched
on the afternoon of the 13th had, by morning of the 14th, reached
Zagazig. The remaining Highland Battalion, the Black Watch,
which had on the 13th been pushed on by train to Zagazig,
reached Belbeis on the 14th. The Marine Artillery and Royal
Marines followed the Highland Brigade. The remainder of the
artillery moved by road at first on Zagazig, whither also marched
the 3rd Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps.
The general effect of these and the successive movements
which followed, as the troops were gradually pushed up on Cairo,
was to occupy in strength, and with the utmost possible rapidity,
all the points by which any concentration of the dispersed
fragments of the Egyptian army could be attempted.
On the afternoon of the 14th September, that is, as soon as the
train service could be arranged, Sir Garnet Wolseley, having
received by telegraph the reports from Zagazig, started by train
for Kalyub the station immediately outside Cairo, with His Royal
Highness the Duke of Connaught, and a company of the Scots
Guards as escort. Another train containing the remainder of the
Scots Guards followed as closely as the nature of the line would
permit. The General's intention was to reach Cairo that night if
possible. Obstructions on the line of railway delayed Sir Garnet's
train for Some hours of the night at Zagazig, but as soon as the
train could be removed out of Zagazig the Head-quarters and the
Guards escort were sent forward by it. Other trains with the
remainder of the Guards Brigade followed as soon as they could be
Sent On.
At Benha, by early morning on the 15th, Colonel Herbert
Stewart's account of the surrender of Cairo was received. At
Benha, also, Jacoub Pasha came to make submission, and, a
strong report in favour of his action of late in Cairo having been
made by a deputation of loyal inhabitants, he and Omer Bey were
dispatched to Secure the Surrender to Sir E. Wood of the forces at
JKafr ed-Dauar. "
By 9:45 A.M. (15th September) the train reached Cairo. Crowds
of natives were at the station and in the streets. All received the
troops with placid submission. The ordinary peaceful work of the
town went on under the charge of the native police. It remained
only to secure the Surrender in detail of the various detachments
L03
of Egyptian troops, and to change the line of communications to
Alexandria.
On the 16th news arrived that Rosetta and Abukir were ready
to Submit.
The war was over, but one striking scene remained to be
enacted. It fell to the lot of Sir Archibald Alison.
The town of Tanta had throughout the insurrection, and during
the trouble which preceded it, been the centre of fanaticism and
of anti-Christian fury. It was necessary to occupy it if possible
before any of the dispersed rebel forces reached it. On the 17th,
Sir Archibald Alison and 500 of the Gordon Highlanders were
dispatched in two trains to Tanta. Another train followed with
two guns and the remainder of the battalion. When the first train,
with 250 of the Highlanders, approached the station, everything
at first seemed to indicate that all was going on in a peaceful
way. The Governor, an adherent of Arabi’s, with the principal
inhabitants, met Sir Archibald at the railway station and assured
him that the town was perfectly quiet. Sir Archibald, therefore,
with his Staff and an escort of twelve men, went forward with
the Governor in order to provide for the quiet entry of his men.
He passed through a narrow winding street which ended in a
large Open square. It was filled on all sides with armed Egyptian
Soldiers, hemmed in by a vast crowd of excited townspeople. The
fact was that the Es-Salihiyeh force had already slipped round by
the line of railway which passes by way of Abu Kebir, Mansura,
and Tanta, and that Sir Archibald had struck upon the last
portion of that force, consisting of no less than 4 batteries of
artillery, 3 Squadrons of cavalry, and 2,000 infantry. As soon as
the interpreter began to speak to them it appeared that the greater
part at least of the officers and men present knew nothing of the
defeat of Arabi's forces, and knew only that they had been ordered
round from Es-Salihiyeh for purposes of the campaign, which they
Supposed to be still going on. The moment was critical. The
men were all in marching order, the horses saddled, the guns
horsed. The General at once sent back Lieutenant Pilkington, his
Aide-de-camp, to order up three companies of the Highlanders.
Meantime, he sent for the leaders of the soldiers, and through his
interpreter made a speech to those of the troopers and gunners
who were within hearing. It was some time before the officers
appeared. The sullem-looking soldiers and excited Arabs crowded
on the twelve Highlanders, who endeavoured to keep a space
clear round the General, his Staff, and the Governor of the town,
whom they had carefully retained near them. As soon as the
officers arrived, Sir Archibald told them that no harm would
be done the soldiers if they at once laid down their arms, gave up
their guns, and went quietly to their homes.
Whilst the General was still speaking the three companies of
Highlanders moved into the square, making their way through the
crowd “as if,” says Major Hutton, who was present, “they had
been in the habit of entering Egyptian towns under such circum-
stances throughout their lives. With very remarkable steadiness
104.
and precision each company in turn came up and took position,
forming three sides of a square, with the General in the centre.”
Each company ordered arms and remained throughout as steady
and unconcerned as if in an English barrack-square. The whole
fixed bayonets and stood at ease. “It was like a scene on a stage,
only to us it had a most satisfactory and reassuring effect, while
it impressed the Arab crowd beyond measure.”
Very quietly a company was so moved as to interpose between
the gunners and their guns. Up to this time the artillery had
been much the most hostile part of the Arab force. The crisis was
now over. The whole of the troops in succession laid down their
arms. Fortunately the remainder of the Es-Salihiyeh force had
passed through Tanta towards Rosetta, which had already sur-
rendered. Damietta still held out, and, though Abd el-Al, the
Governor, promised Surrender, he was apparently only endeavouring
to gain time, so that if he had been reinforced by the troops from
Es-Salihiyeh he might have given some trouble.
The surrender of Tanta made all further resistance hopeless,
but it was necessary to dispatch Sir Evelyn Wood with two bat-
talions and the Maltese Artillery to threaten Abd el-Al on the land
side, whilst a portion of the fleet threatened to blockade Damietta
on the sea front.
By the 24th September these measures had proved effective,
and the last armed force and fortress in Egypt had been surrendered
into our hands.
On the 25th September the Khedive made a triumphant entry
into Cairo. The English troops lined the streets from the railway
to the Palace, and Salutes were fired from the Citadel. The local
government was immediately placed under charge of the Egyptian
authorities.
On the 28th September a serious disaster occurred. It had
been a matter of principle that, as far as possible, all the ordinary
routine of the country should be left under charge of the Egyptian
authorities. For this reason, amongst other things, the railway
management had been left in their hands, English officers having
been placed at the chief railway stations only to provide for order
in the dispatch of troops and military stores. At 3:30 P.M., as
the King's Royal Rifles were disembarking at Cairo from Benha,
an explosion occurred in a carriage adjoining the platform upon
which the troops stood, injuring three or four men. The explo-
sion was followed by others, the wood-work of the carriages was
soon in flames, and as it became necessary to remove the troops
from the station on account of the continued explosions of shells
and gunpowder, the fire began rapidly to spread, and the explosions
continually increased in violence.
Arrangements were at Once made to place a cordon of troops
round the burning station, and to pull down such portions of the
building as, when cleared away, would break the course of the
fire. But the water-engines were of a poor kind. The day had
been one of exceptional and extreme heat under the influence of
the Khamseen wind. The fatigues entailed upon the troops, who
105
had to be employed night and day upon the reliefs at the station,
were very severe, and the loss of stores of all kinds was most
Serious.
The explosion was entirely accidental; it was occasioned by
shunting some wagons in which there was Egyptian ammunition
and a considerable number of percussion shells, one of which must
have exploded from the shock of the movement.
A considerable amount of fever, Some dysentery, and some
ophthalmia Soon made their appearance among the troops. The
barracks in Cairo had been found to be in a condition so filthy
that their occupation was impossible, and the only convenient
localities where it was possible to encamp the troops were the
Island of Bulak—a dusty plain, presenting many discomforts for
encampment—and the desert near Abbassiyeh.
On the 30th September a grand parade before the Khedive of
all the troops took place. The army had for the purpose gradually
been concentrated on Cairo. It was no mere question of show,
and no mere holiday spectacle. It is hardly possible to imagine a
sight more calculated to impress an Eastern population than the
display of the various arms of the little force which had in so
short a time disposed of the fate of Egypt. Not the least effective
part of it was the march past of the Indian troops, representative
of the many and various Eastern races who contribute to the might
of Her Majesty's Empire. The cavalry and infantry from the
Far East had, as they passed through the streets of the ancient
city, a warlike and stately mien that could not fail to work
upon the imagination of a people accustomed to worship power,
and power only.
One other spectacle required the presence of English forces
throughout the town. s
A Sacred Carpet is annually dispatched to Mecca. The ceremony
is a very important one in the eyes of the Mahometan world. It
is attended by the Khedive in person, and conducted with a
variety of ceremonies intended to add to the imposing effect of the
demonstration. The whole town, and good numbers of people
from the country, are present. To allow such a gathering to take
place under conditions tending to produce religious fanaticism,
and not to make it evident by the presence of English troops that
violent disorder would be immediately repressed, would, under all
the circumstances, have been the height of imprudence.
To place the English troops avowedly in any position of oppo-
sition to or suspicion of such a gathering would have been a
dangerous incentive to disturbance.
The obvious and simple policy was to allow the English troops
to attend as a matter of respect to the Khedive and to the faith
of his people.
The 5th October was the day, fixed for the ceremony. The
sight presented by the streams of fanatical Mussulmans passing
through the streets of Cairo, attended by the Giaour soldiers and
the Indian Mahometan troops, alike wearing Her Majesty's
uniform, was a striking and notable one. It only falls to the lot

of this history to record the fact as a question of military policy,
which it is, unfortunately, the more necessary to explain, because
it was a transaction of a kind peculiarly liable to be misunderstood
in England, and, in fact, led to considerable misconception.
This may be said to have been the final scene in Cairo prior to
the actual dispersal of the army. On the 4th, the previous
day, the General had issued a congratulatory order complimenting
the troops alike upon their conduct in the campaign, and upon
their behaviour as conquerors in Cairo.
Before closing this history, it will be convenient to put together
a short summary of the principal dates, which will show the
rapidity with which the whole campaign was completed.
On the 27th July, 1882, Her Majesty's Government having
decided to send an expedition to Egypt, obtained a Vote of Credit
of 2,300,000l.
On the 30th July the troops began to leave England, and troops
were dispatched from England from then daily till the 11th
August.
On the 15th August, at night, Sir Garnet in person reached
Alexandria, a portion only of the expedition having arrived.
On the 20th August the Suez Canal, including Ismailia, was
seized.
On the 13th September the Egyptian Army was defeated and
dispersed at Tel el-Kebir.
On the 14th September Cairo Citadel and Arabi Pasha surren-
dered.
It had been decided that the force to be left in Egypt should
be reduced to 10,000 men. After the Carpet ceremony the dis-
persal of the remainder in various directions proceeded rapidly.
On the 21st October Sir Garnet himself sailed from Alexandria,
and on the 28th arrived in London.
The three Divisions had already been broken up. The Generals
in command were on their way home.
The Indian Contingent had started for India,
Sir Archibald Alison remained in command in Cairo, and
a new phase of the Egyptian question had opened,
The old one was closed.

Note on Canals in the Wady Tumilat.
The lowest poin of the neck of the Wady at Aabawa is only 20 Feet above Sea Level, while at Seba Byar 30 Miles distant it is still 10 Feet. The average slope
ºw therefore 4 Inches to 1 Statute Mile, or about 1 in 15,000, which would produce a velocity of half a mile an hour in a small channel. //ffective Drainage is
therefore practicable. The Ismailta Canal has an ample command over the Wady for Irrigation. A Dra ºnage (Jutfall (anal is the chief requirement for the
reclamation of large tracts which are now waste . In prehistoric times, the water of the Nile, certainly when the river was high and probably when it
was low, f/ owed through the Wady. Canals are mentioned in the records of Sett. The original Wady (anal was made under Pharaoh Necho (600 B.C.) from
the Taniac Branch at Bubastis (i.e. the modern Bahr Moez at Zaga zºg /. It was repeatedly re-excavated under Egyption , Persian, Macedonian, Roman.
The first accurate survey appears to be that of Linant Pasha in 1855 - 6, for
and Arab rulers , with variations in trace, but substantially the same .
At that ºne there were two canals in eacistence, i. e., one on the north side of the Wady, d escribed as the Canal of Ptolemy,
a projected cana/ .
re-excavated ºn 1820, ending at Kassassin, and another a ſong the southern wide of the Wady, stated to be the Canal of Trajan. The former still eacºwtº.
but no longer derives its supply from the Tanitºr Branch, being ſed by a weir on the Ismaïlia (anal between the 76 " and 77* Kilometre Stones. The latter,
which derived its supply from the Zafaranteh ('ana !, and which seems to have served the Pºrpowe of a drainage canal , has almost disappeared , its site
having been covered by the gradual encroachment of sand . Traces of it can however be seen along the southern escarpment which is evidently ex-
tending to the N. from the movement of wind-blown sand. This escarpment consist of a series of parallel ridges in a direction, E. S. E. and W. N. W.,
cutting the general line obliquely. It attains a height of 100 Feet opp oste Mahisarma . The original Sweet Water Canal, which was commenced -
.
in 1860, to supply water to the workmen on the Maritime Canal begins at Kassassin, and follows a line not before employed. It came into
operation on the /* Feb. 7862 as far as Lake Tirns a , and on 29 Dec. 1863, to Suez . The portion from Kassass in to Nefisha , having been -
superseded by the Ismaïlia Canal, which interwects it at the 121* and 127" Kilometres, now only serves for local irrigation, being ſed by sluices at
Ma hyama and Magſar. The Mah sama sluice is of Masonry with two pairs of sliding gates, each 3 | wide. The Wady Canal was 2' 6" below
the ſºmalia Canal on 22. 11. 83. The narrow foot - bridge over sluice will not admit vehicles .
The Isma'ilia (ºnal was commenced between Cairo and ºs-Sºria/cus in Jan. 1865 by military labour, and continued in 1866 to Ki/, 70, Kawarna . by corvée.
On 11 July 1867, water was admitted as /ar as the Raja of Zawannel. In 1870 a contract was made with M. Brocard for extending it to Kassassin,
which was done in 1874; when another contract was made with M. Papunot for completing it to Ismaïlia, which was accomplished in July 1877. High.
