Illustration from Cassell's History of England circa 1901 by William Heysham Overend (1851-1898). Charge of the highlanders, Battle of Tel-El-Kebir, 1882. Info from wiki: The Battle of Tel el-Kebir or el-Tal el-Kebir was fought between the Egyptian army led by Ahmed Urabi and the British military near Tel-el-Kebir. After discontented Egyptian officers under Urabi rebelled in 1882, the United Kingdom reacted to protect its financial and expansionist interests in the country, and in particular the Suez Canal.
