EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "With the Nile Frontier Field Force, Attack on the Rebels at Koshey and Giniss" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures a crucial event during the Mahdist War. The image showcases a military operation with great intensity and detail. In this depiction, we witness the first attack of the black battalion from the Nile Frontier Field Force against rebels at Koshey and Giniss. The topography of the village of Giniss is visible as well as various elements that make up this fierce battle scene. As our eyes explore every corner of this print, we can see wire entanglements surrounding sandbag forts strategically placed by both sides. The attackers are depicted courageously advancing towards their enemy's position while facing resistance from rebel forces. Notably, among those fighting are members of Cameron Highlanders who play a vital role in this assault. This historic moment marks one of their last attempts to overcome rebellion in Sudan. This engraving was originally published as part of a news item in The Graphic on January 30th, 1886. It serves as a powerful reminder of not only the bravery displayed by soldiers but also highlights key events that shaped Sudan's history during this turbulent period known as the Mahdist War.
