He long served in the Sudan, endured captivity under the Mahdi, aided by Gordon and later Kitchener, and received honors including Companion of the Bath and Knight Commander of St Michael and St George, with thanks from Parliament.
In the reconstruction era Slatin aided Britain as Austrian and Allied prisoners gained humane treatment under his influence.
