Conquest of Egypt
Sir Garnet Wolseley, by a victory based on a long and successful night march, destroyed the power of Colonel Arabi Pasha on 13 September 1882. A remarkably tidy operation. British casualties were under 450. A cavalry death on Cairo succeeded the rout and obtained the surrender of the remaining enemy forces.
Painting is The Storm of Tel-El-Kebir by the 1st Battalion (The Black Watch) of the Highland Brigade (The old 42nd). The battalion charged the Egyptian position with bayonets and, showing great courage and determination, captured a deep ditch and entrenchments of the enemy. In 1881 the battalion had received the name "The Black Watch" (Royal Highlanders).
