Soudanese Troops Show Fearless, Wild Devotion in Battle
A Contemporary Review tale describes Soudanese soldiers as striking and varied in height with a fierce, unpredictable temper. They despise drill and blank ammo yet fight bravely, often ignoring officers’ orders. An anecdote recounts a skirmish where a British officer’s fury gave way to the soldiers’ loyalty as they protected the Bey, culminating in the officer riding the line and demanding action.
