- Khartoum - Movie 1966 - British cabinet discuss cause of defeat at Battle of El Obeid where Anglo-Egyptian force under British Colonel William Hicks was ambushed and destroyed by Mahdist forces under Muhammad Ahmad in November 1883. - Battle of El Obeid The Battle of El Obeid was fought between Anglo-Egyptian forces under the command of Hicks Pasha and forces of Mohammed Ahmed, the self-proclaimed Mahdi, on a plain near the town of Al Ubayyid (El Obeid) on November 3rd-5th, 1883. After the Mahdi retreated into Kordofan in 1881 he started to raise an army there and in Darfur. A force of 4,000 was sent to capture him, but it was ambushed near El Obeid and destroyed, and all of its equipment captured. The Mahdi's forces had grown spectacularly, and by 1883 British sources placed their size at 200,000, although that is almost certainly an overestimate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_El_Obeid William Hicks - Colonel - also known as Hicks Pasha, (1830 - 1883), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hicks Siege of Khartoum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Khartoum Charles George Gordon - Major-General - known as Chinese Gordon, Gordon Pasha, and Gordon of Khartoum, was a British army officer and administrator.
