This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional                 imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that                 intended by the original publisher.

The subtitle of this book sums up the contents: "A narrative of the advance of the River Column of the Nile Expeditionary Force, and its return down the rapids." In March 1874 Gordon was besieged by the Mahdi in Khartoum, but it wasn’t till August, after shilly-shallying and under considerable pressure from the public and parliament that Gladstone finally authorised a relief force (too late, as it happened) under the command of General Wolseley. He organised his force in two columns, one to cut across the Bayuda Desert (the Desert Column) and secure the shortest route to Khartoum; the other (the River Column) to proceed along the Nile. This latter column was placed under command of General Earle with Brackenbury as his deputy, and this is Brackenbury’s account. On 10th February the enemy was encountered at Kirbekan and in the battle Earle was killed as were the COs of two of the four battalions in the force, 1st S Staffs and 1st Black Watch, out of a total of a dozen dead. Brackenbury assumed command. He has written this narrative, he says: "....in the belief that the advance and return of four regiments of infantry (the other two were 1st Gordon Highlanders and 2nd DCLI) through a hundred miles of cataracts and rapids in an enemy’s country deserve, as a military operation, some permanent record...." He has done a good job!
